    1. If you want to add some text for example, click the text tool and click on your image, give it a second to load and then type in your text.
    2. In the top menu choose your font, size and other options.
    3. Choose whether you want a texture, gradient or solid color.
    4. Click 'OK' and then use the Hand 'move resize tool' to place the text where you want it.
    5. It's a good idea to double click and put check marks on your 'scrapbook' layer and any new layers you add and then use the 'Merge - Merge remove' tools on the layer manager as you go. If you have a lot of layers when you save as a .pob file it can get quite large. On the other hand, if you want people to be able to move those new layers you made, let them be.
      • Be sure NOT to merge the background layer or the template layers.
    6. Add whatever you like to make this 'scrapbook' layer look good the same way you added the text. Click on a tool, set the controls, and use your mouse to add the embellishments.
    7. For example, let's add a couple of frames around the circle and square to make the template layer stand out a bit. Remember there will be a photo in place of the template layer later on.
    8. Click the small triangle beside the 'Draw shapes tool' and choose 'circle'.
      • Again now you have a lot of choices as to what you want to use as your frame, textures, gradients, ...etc... but here the primary color will be set to white and the size to 10.
    9. Drag out your circle frame around the red 'photo1' template layer.
    10. Use the Hand 'resize move tool' to make it the right size and in the right place to cover a little bit of both the red area and the blue area of the layers.
    11. Do the same to make a square frame.
    12. This time, choose, 'Draw shape tool' - 'square' - size 10.
      • Now, you should have a couple of nice frames around your template layers.
      • Once you are finished with all your embellishments it's time to go to the top menu, 'File' and 'Save as'.
    13. Go to the directory you want to save it in and make sure to save it with the .pob file extension. this way you or others can open it in Photobie whenever you like and either change things or just add photos to your template layers.
      • Now whenever you or someone else opens this Photobie file with the template layers it will be easy to just swap out the red circle and square layers with a photo.
    14. Replace the circle template layer with one of your own photos for some practice.
    15. In the layer manager click on your '@1:photo1 layer'. This is your circle shaped template layer.
    16. Then click on the 'Click to replace' button.
      • This will bring up the 'Template replace panel'.
    17. Click on 'Load Image' to browse your computer and find the image you would like to see in place of the circle template layer.
      • Once you find your image and click 'open' you will see it in the Template replace panel.
    18. Adjust your photo a bit to fit or look the way you want it to in the space provided. (Watch the black borders to judge the size and placement.)
    19. Use the zoom control ( + or - ) and click directly on the image to move it into place.
    20. Once you are happy with how it looks, click OK.
    21. You should now see your image where the red circle template layer used to be.
