You should setup the size of the card in mm or inches. If there is another unit, you can setup the unit with a right click on the text field. A popup appears where you can setup the wished unit.
A value of 85mm to 54 mm is a good value normally. But if you use a special business card paper to print the cards, setup the predefined size.
2. You will
get an empty document. First of all you should enter the text you need.
Select the text tool from the tool bar.
Setup the font you want at the Layer Settings
dialog.
3. Click with
the mouse into the empty document and type your text.
4. You can
create a border like our example. We did it with the rectangle function
from the tool bar.
Setup the fill color to transparent (Opacity 0) and the line color
to black. Setup the line color to 3 pixel.
5. Now we
can improve the name with a 3D shadow. Select Effects/Effects/3D-Shadow....
Activate Online Preview to see what happens with your settings.
6. Now we
want a little image on our business card. Open the image and select the
layer tool from the tool bar.
With this tool you can move the image to the empty card. To avoid unintended
movements, PhotoLine prevents single images from moving with a lock
in the layer dialog.
You can remove the lock with a click on it. Another
way is to press the Alt-key while moving the layer this will remove
the lock for the moment.
7. You can
place the image with the mouse where ever you want. You can scale it by
dragging the edges of the image. To scale proportional, hold the Alt-key
while dragging.
8. Now the
business card is ready. You should save it in PLD-format. You should take
the PLD-format because it can save the text layers and the 3D-shadow and
you can edit it after saving.
9. To print
the card select File/Print Options... first. Setup the print mode
to label and the width and height of the card (85x54 mm in our example).
Setup the border according to your business card
paper or if you use normal paper to the printer borders. Save now your
document again in PLD format because PhotoLine will then remember your
pinter settings.
