The PhotoMagiXX Formatting Software is used to place your photos and text into the correct positions to print on the various Unique Photo-Rich formats—ideal for both photo and direct marketing applications.

The PhotoMagiXX Formatting Software takes you through the creation of a project—step-by-step and then printed on the appropriate PhotoMagiX Image Solutions Paper. A completed project can be saved to be used again, or it can be changed and saved with a different name. This is the suggested method to use if you have several projects with similar images or text as you can selectively replace any photo or text.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Printing
Most of the PhotoMagiX Image Solutions Paper formats are 8.5" x 11". The PanelPix is 8.5" x 14" so set your printer to legal size paper for PanelPix. Regardless of how the preview image appears on your monitor, ALWAYS set your printer to print PORTRAIT. PhotoMagiX will format the page accordingly.

Paper Orientation
Suggestion: Make a mark on the leading edge of a sheet of plain paper and print your first finished project to verify the correct paper orientation for your printer.

Printer Calibration
(This is an optional step and is only required if your printer does not print the images in exactly the correct location on the PhotoMagiX Image Solutions Paper.) Some printers require a fine adjustment to locate the printed data precisely on the paper. Because of the pre-cut forms on your PhotoMagiX Image Solutions Paper it is important that the calibration be as accurate as possible. The PhotoMagiX Software can compensate for small irregularities in your printer's calibration using the Printer Calibration Wizard. To check your printer's calibration and correct it if necessary choose File-Printer Calibration from the PhotoMagiX main menu. Load plain paper in your printer and follow the instructions in the step-by-step wizard. In most instances a printer will only need to be calibrated once.

Saving Your Project
The saved projects can be opened and printed again or they can be modified and saved as a different project if you save as a different file name. An image is displayed on the file menu to help you recognize the project. At this time, the files are not identified as to which PhotoMagiX Image Solutions Paper format or template was used so it may be of help to include an abbreviation in the file name. For example a prefix of FF will identify FlipPix projects.
