Product description

Gift

Auto Gift Creation
• Gift creation can quickly and automatically be generated by selecting gift type and size, as well as a chosen design or photograph to be added.

Save, Export, and Share on Facebook
• You can export your finalized project as either a JPEG or PNG file for printing or sharing with anyone. Additionally, you can also upload your works directly to Facebook without the need to use an external browser.

Color Profile Support
• For maintained color accuracy, you can embed specific color profiles to your finished imagery for color-correct printing on the printer of your choice.

Mirror Output for Heat Press Gifts
• If outputting for heat press application, the final design you produce can be automatically mirrored for proper viewing upon final application. Rather than manually flipping your image, this feature allows you to automatically export finished projects in a mirrored orientation.

Creation

Variety of Gift Output Types
• Your designs can be formatted in order to be showcased on a wide variety of items, such as regular mugs, conical mugs, mouse pads, t-shirts, key chains, caps, water bottles, pillow covers, puzzles, laptop sleeves, or iPhone covers. This program will format your imagery or designs properly for more seamless output to this variety of media.
  
  More than 30 standard gift sizes are available and organized within different categories. Each of the gift sizes is based on printing industry standards.

Define Your Own Gift Articles and Size
• Beyond having a variety of predefined gift types and styles to use, you can also customize your own gift size and type to better suit specific applications.

Compose Page

Grids, Guidelines, and Ruler
• Aiding in positioning images or elements, this tool helps with precise placement according to the width and height of the gift. Guidelines are placed over the design, but will not be printed, and the lines can be moved or removed.

On-Board Photo Cropping and Transforming
• An online photo crop feature allows you to quickly trim away unwanted portions of a source photo prior to incorporating it into the gift image.

Online Zooming and Panning
• Photos can be transformed, or zoomed into and scrolled across, in order to bring more attention to specific regions of an image. A built-in quality indicator will warn you if the image quality falls below the required printing standards.

Object-Based Alignment
• Photos can be aligned with respect to other photos or elements in the gift. Also, an Auto-Align Layers command will automatically line-up layers based on similar content in different layers, such as detected corners or edges. Reference layers can be selected or automatically chosen, and multiple options are available for alignment points on different edges.

Photo Quality Indicator
• A built-in quality indicator automatically determines whether or not the resolution of the photograph is high enough for the printing size selected. The visual indicator will display once a photos quality has dropped beneath the set quality standards.

Arrangement
• This tool permits manual control over the arrangement of photos, graphics, and other elements.

Equal Space Between Objects
• This feature allows you to define the desired amount of space between photos in a grid arrangement, and then apply this spatial constraint to the remainder of images in order to create a balanced, equally-spaced composition.

Rotate and Flip Mask and Border on Object
• Masks and border can be applied to imagery, and then flipped or rotated for a more creative appearance that simulates varying levels of visual depth or space.

Lock and Unlock Photo
• Photos can be locked into place in order to maintain consistency throughout the designing process. However, for more personalized control, images can also be unlocked for a more free range of movement.

Edit Cover and Page Design
• Page designs can be enhanced by filling them with different colors; selecting different backgrounds; setting frames, masks, or effects on the photos; applying clip art or graphics, or by adding text.

Use Photo as Background
• Beyond the hundreds of pre-installed backgrounds available, you can also use your own photographs as background images for a more personalized appearance.

Compose Object

Used Photo / Décor Indicator
• Benefitting the editing and photo selection process, this indicator will display which photos from a group have already been used in the project, and the number of occurrences they appear. Photos can also be sorted by whether or not they have been used within the project. Additionally, while re-editing previous pages or books, you can also easily locate the source image, border, or mask by right-clicking the image.

Create Your Own Workspace
• Within the user interface, all of the panels and docks are expandable and movable; allowing you to customize the workspace to benefit your own workflow.

Swap Photo
• This intuitive tool quickly allows you to swap out images due to issues with cropping or orientation (i.e. a horizontal photo has been placed within a vertical template).

Copy, Paste, and Clear Effects
• Any applied effects can be copied and pasted from one photo or gift to another. Additionally, effects can also be removed using a single click.

Photo Editing

Advanced Photo Manager
• Helping you to source or arrange and sequence groups of photos into the proper order, this photo management tool provides thumbnail, list, filmstrip, and full view modes to gain a quick overview of the files you're working with. A batch editing option is also available that allows you to edit, rename, and rotate multiple photos simultaneously, or one at a time, with the ability to constrain your editing and sorting based on preset parameters.

RGB Color Correction
• Photographs' color balance can be intuitively adjusted through the use of RGB color sliders.

BCG Settings
• Dedicated sliders can be used to adjust photos' brightness, color, and gamma settings to enhance the overall clarity.

Curves and Levels
• For more advanced control over brightness and contrast, curves and levels tools are available. These tools can be used to adjust the appearance of photos, masks, graphics, and other hues throughout the gift.

Basic Effects on Photos
• Several creative effects can also be applied to imagery, including Blur, Colorize, Feather, Opacity, Crop, Rotate, Glow, Shadow, and Outline.

Batch Color Correction
• You can adjust the look of multiple photos at a time with a single click with preset brightness, contrast, and color values. Automated color, contrast, and other tools can also be used for a faster workflow.

Themes, Décor, Text, and Title

Over 200 Templates
• More than 200 ready-to-use templates are included with Gift Xpress, which can help to expedite the creation process.

Import Your Own Images
• Any JPEG or PNG file can be imported for use as a clip art graphic, background, mask, or border.

Advanced Search Option for Template Selection
• You can search for specific templates using a system of filters to sort by orientation, number of photos, theme, style, and color.

Create, Save, and Share Your Own Templates
• For more personalized looks, you can alter existing templates or create a completely new template; either of which can be saved for subsequent use. Once you've saved your template, you can also share them with DgFlick and other Gift Xpress users.
