Applying Effects to a Background Image in a Marketing Email

To add effects to a background image once you’ve added it:

1. Go to one of these areas in the right hand panel:
   • Background for the whole page - Settings > Background image.
   • Image for a single row - click the row you want to edit. It’s highlighted in blue to show you’re editing it. Go to Row Properties > Backgrounds > Row background image.

2. Click Apply effects.

   

3. Make changes as required:

   • Filter - add color filters
   • Resize - add a new size for the image, with the option to maintain its aspect ratio when resizing
   • Crop - crop the image by dragging its edges as required or selecting a prescribed aspect ratio (e.g. 3:2)
   • Transform - rotate the image clockwise or counter-clockwise, or invert it
   • Draw - add freehand marks to the image

   • Text - add text to the image

     Click Add Text to add a text box.

     Double click on the text in the text box (as a default, it contains Double click here) and update it as required. Use the toolbar options to set the text color and the font.

     Use the + and   to access formatting options for the text box - shadow, outline, background color, etc.

   • Shapes - add pre-drawn shapes such as arrows, stars, and squares
   • Stickers - add predefined stickers/emoticons
   • Frame - add a predesigned frame
   • Corners - define the radius of corners in the image
