Catalogue and product selection
V obchode najprv vyberte správnu kategóriu fotoproduktu.
- Nástenný fotokalendár, stolový týždenný kalendár a stolový dvojtýždenný kalendár sa zobrazujú ako samostatné kategórie.
- Po otvorení kategórie vyberte konkrétny formát, napríklad A4 na šírku, A4 na výšku alebo štvorec.
- Každá karta vo vnútri kategórie predstavuje formát, ktorý má vlastnú cenu a tlačové parametre.
- Na karte požadovaného formátu kliknite na Otvoriť Editor.
Dôležité
Najprv vyberáte druh kalendára ako kategóriu a až potom jeho formát ako produkt. Fotokniha a jednotlivé druhy kalendárov zostávajú odlišnými projektmi.
Choosing the correct product type
Pri kalendári postupujte v tomto poradí:
- Vyberte kategóriu: nástenný fotokalendár, stolový týždenný kalendár alebo stolový dvojtýždenný kalendár.
- V kategórii vyberte požadovaný formát a orientáciu.
- Otvorte detail formátu a kliknite na Otvoriť Editor.
- Vyberte papier, ak produkt ponúka viac možností. Ak sa papier nevyberá, systém tento krok preskočí.
- Vyberte kategóriu šablón a potom konkrétnu šablónu.
Rozhodnite sa vopred
Zmena na úplne iný druh produktu zvyčajne znamená nový projekt. Formát toho istého kalendára môžete neskôr zmeniť priamo v editore.
Format and orientation
| Option | Effect on the design |
|---|---|
| Portrait | Suitable for portraits and vertical compositions. |
| Landscape | Suitable for scenery, groups and wide shots. |
| Square | Usually requires more cropping of standard photographs. |
The aspect ratio determines how much of a photograph remains visible.
Before uploading
If most of your photographs are wide, consider a landscape format.
Paper, page count and price
| Parameter | Čo znamená |
|---|---|
| Formát | Konkrétna veľkosť a orientácia kalendára; v kategórii sa zobrazuje ako samostatný produkt. |
| Papier | Materiál a gramáž výslednej tlače. Ak existuje výber papiera, zobrazí sa pred výberom šablóny. |
| Počet strán | Rozsah projektu; pri niektorých produktoch je pevný. |
| Cena | Aktuálna cena konkrétneho formátu a vybraných možností. |
| Množstvo | Počet rovnakých kusov sa nastavuje v košíku. |
Pred začiatkom práce skontrolujte súhrn v hornej lište editora.
Creating and naming a project
- V kategórii vyberte požadovaný formát a kliknite na Otvoriť Editor.
- Ak sa zobrazí výber papiera, zvoľte požadovanú možnosť.
- Vyberte kategóriu šablón a konkrétnu šablónu.
- Zadajte zrozumiteľný názov projektu.
- Skontrolujte formát, počet strán a papier.

Change history: Undo and Redo
- Undo reverses the most recent change.
- Redo restores the most recently undone change.
- After a major change, verify that the result is what you expected.
- History does not replace saving the project regularly.
- The complete history may not be available after reopening a project.
Safe procedure
If you are unsure about changing a template or format, save the project first.
Uploading photographs
- Open the Photographs tab.
- Click Upload photographs.
- Select files from your device.
- Wait for each upload to finish.
- Make sure the previews appear.
If an upload fails
Check your internet connection and try uploading fewer files at a time.
Photograph library
- The Used label identifies a photograph that has been placed in the project.
- The counter helps you compare the number of used and uploaded photographs.
- The same photograph may be used more than once when the design requires it.
- For a large project, prepare clear and logical filenames.
- Before deleting a photograph, check whether the project still uses it.
Selecting photographs
Avoid using several almost identical photographs unless this is intentional.
Automatic photograph layout
If the template supports automatic placement, you can use it to fill the prepared containers quickly.
- Upload all selected photographs.
- Run the available automatic layout function.
- Review every page.
- Correct unsuitable crops.
- Replace duplicate or weak images.
Automation cannot understand your intention
The system cannot know which face or object is most important to you.
Placing a photograph in a container
- Select the required page.
- Click a photograph in the library or drag it into a container.
- Check what is visible in the crop.
- Adjust the zoom.
- Move the photograph inside the container.
Important
The photo container is protected, but the photograph can still be moved and zoomed inside it.
Fitting photographs and containers
| Function | Result |
|---|---|
| Fit container to photograph | The frame follows the photograph aspect ratio when the design allows it. |
| Fit photograph to container | The photograph fills the existing frame and may be cropped. |
| Zoom | Changes the photograph size inside the frame. |
| Position | Determines which part of the photograph remains visible. |
| After automatic filling | Always check heads, faces, hands and important objects. |
The basics of a correct crop
The editor cannot determine which part of a photograph should remain visible.
CORRECT
The head and face are complete. There is suitable space around the subject.
- The main subject must be complete or deliberately cropped.
- Leave some space around heads and faces.
- Check all four edges of the container.
- Do not crop joints, fingers or text unintentionally.
Human review
Automated quality checks cannot replace this visual judgement.
Incorrect cropping and how to fix it
INCORRECT
Zooming has cut off the top of the head. The crop must be corrected.
- Reduce the photograph zoom.
- Move the photograph until the complete head is visible.
- If the crop cannot be corrected, choose another photograph.
- Check sharpness and the quality warning again.
Common mistake
A photograph may look fine as a thumbnail while part of the head is outside the container in the detailed view.
Portraits and faces
- Keep the eyes and face in a natural part of the composition.
- Do not place the top of the head directly against an edge unless this is intentional.
- Check the hair, ears, chin and shoulders.
- When zooming, also check the sharpness of the eyes.
- If the face is close to the edge of the original photograph, consider another image.
Portraits in a large format
Blur and compression become more visible as the print size increases.
Group photographs
GROUP PHOTOGRAPH
All faces are complete. There is enough room around the group for cropping.
- Check the people at both edges of the group.
- Do not crop the heads of people in the back row.
- Leave space above and beside the group.
- Review the entire group after changing the aspect ratio.
- If everyone does not fit, use a wider container or another photograph.
Scenery, buildings and objects
- Check the horizon and the vertical lines of buildings.
- Do not cut off the top of a tower, a roof or an important sign.
- Any text in a photograph must remain fully readable.
- Consider leaving space in the direction in which the main subject looks or moves.
- A wide container is more suitable for a panorama.
Composition
Do not force an unsuitable shape with extreme cropping; a different template is often better.
Zoom and print quality
Small print - Medium print - Large print
The larger the printed area or the stronger the zoom, the more pixels the photograph needs.
- Zooming uses a smaller portion of the original photograph.
- A smaller portion contains fewer pixels for printing.
- A large container requires more pixels than a small one.
- A quality warning may appear after enlarging or zooming.
Composition first, quality check second
Set the final crop before evaluating the resolution warning.
Rotation, flipping and corners
- Use rotation only for an incorrect orientation or an intentional creative effect.
- Horizontal flipping may mirror text, logos or asymmetric details.
- Rounded corners change only the visible container shape.
- Check the complete crop after every change.
- If a photograph contains text, always read it after flipping.
Page background
| Option | Use |
|---|---|
| Photograph as background | The photograph fills the page and may be cropped. |
| Colour as background | Select a colour and the available opacity. |
| Template background | Use a prepared image supplied by the template. |
Photographic background
Check the crop and quality even when a photograph is used as a background.
Adding and editing text
V sekcii Texty sa zobrazujú ukážky písiem povolených aktuálnou šablónou. Každá ukážka je napísaná písmom, ktoré po vložení použije nový textový objekt.
| Spôsob vloženia | Postup |
|---|---|
| Dvojklik | Dvakrát kliknite na ukážku požadovaného písma. Text sa pridá do stredu aktuálnej strany. |
| Presunutie | Uchopte ukážku písma a presuňte ju priamo na požadované miesto na plátne. |
- Otvorte sekciu Texty a vložte text dvojklikom alebo presunutím.
- Kliknite priamo do textového rámčeka a píšte na plátne.
- Rámček presuňte v bezpečnej zóne, prípadne ho roztiahnite uchopením rohov.
- Samostatným ovládačom môžete text otočiť.
- V ľavom paneli môžete nastaviť presnú šírku a výšku, písmo, veľkosť, farbu a zarovnanie doľava, na stred alebo doprava.
- Text sa na konci rámčeka automaticky zalomí na ďalší riadok. Pri pribúdajúcich riadkoch sa rámček podľa dostupného miesta rozšíri nadol; ak sa už rozšíriť nemôže, editor primerane zmenší písmo, nie však pod čitateľné minimum.
Bezpečná zóna
Textový rámček nemožno presunúť mimo bezpečnej oblasti. Pri kalendároch je horný bezpečný odstup väčší kvôli väzbe.
Písma určuje šablóna
Zobrazuje sa iba výber písiem povolených autorom aktuálnej šablóny. Ak sa neukáže žiadna ukážka, daná šablóna neponúka samostatné pridávanie textu.
Obsah je na zákazníkovi
Editor automaticky neopravuje mená, dátumy, telefónne čísla ani pravopis.
Checking text before printing
- Read every text at a sufficient zoom level.
- Check accents, capital letters and special characters.
- Verify dates, years, names and contact details.
- For a gift, ask someone to confirm the dedication.
- If the text is long, make sure it is fully visible and readable.
Automatic protection
Text objects cannot leave the safe area and other objects cannot cover them. The customer must still check the accuracy of the content.
Protected design elements
The editor automatically protects important parts of the template.
- Photo containers remain inside the permitted safe area.
- Texts remain inside the safe area.
- Layer controls prevent another object from covering text.
- The calendar grid always remains on top and cannot be covered.
- You do not need to check these protections manually on every page.
What to focus on
Check the text content, photograph crops, quality, calendar year and personal dates.
Managing and checking pages
- Click a thumbnail to open a specific page.
- Review every page without skipping any.
- Check the order and orientation.
- The cover or title page may use a different layout.
- The page count may be fixed by the product.
Page templates

Číslovanie šablón
Poradové číslo sa zobrazuje iba v zozname šablón a nemení názov ani obsah výsledného projektu.
Po zmene šablóny
Automatické prenesenie fotografií nenahrádza kontrolu kompozície.
Changing the project format
Nový formát môže mať iný pomer strán.
- Otvorte kartu Formáty a vyberte nový formát.
- Editor zobrazí výber šablóny pre nový formát; najprv vyberte kategóriu a potom konkrétnu šablónu.
- Formát sa zmení až po výbere šablóny a zvolená šablóna sa použije v editore.
- Editor upozorní, že fotografie môžu vyzerať inak.
- Možnosť Ponechať fotografie ich zachová na plátne.
- Možnosť Odstrániť z plátna ich odstráni zo strán, nie z knižnice.
- Po zmene prejdite všetky strany, znovu nastavte výrezy a spustite Kontrolu návrhu.
Pred zmenou
Najprv projekt uložte.

Súkromie
Nevkladajte citlivé údaje, ktoré nechcete mať vytlačené.
Names, holidays and a personal event
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Keep | Standard names or the holiday remain together with the personal event. |
| Hide | The standard content for that day is not displayed. |
| Replace | The personal text replaces the standard content when the option is available. |
| Check the result | After saving, open the relevant month and verify that the day looks as expected. |
Highlighting a personal date
- Select an available symbol or shape.
- Choose a filled or outline style when available.
- Select a colour that remains visible against the background.
- Do not use too many different styles without a reason.
- Make sure the highlight belongs to the correct day.
Checking every month
- Verify the calendar year.
- Review every month from January to December.
- Check month names and weekdays.
- Verify personal dates and recurrence.
- Check the highlight text and colour.
- Finally, run Design Check.
Calendar grid
It is protected and always remains on top. The customer checks the accuracy of the information.
What happens during Design Check
When you proceed to the cart, the editor checks all pages.
- Issues are grouped by page and object.
- The editor opens the relevant page and focuses on the issue.
- You can move to the previous or next issue.
- After correcting it, select Check again.
- You can continue after correcting or knowingly accepting all blocking issues.
What low resolution means
- The photograph has fewer pixels than its printed size requires.
- The result may be blurred or pixelated.
- The risk increases with a large format and strong zoom.
- The on-screen preview may not reveal the problem.
- The best solution is an original file with higher quality.
This is not a monitor problem
Printing requires more detail than ordinary on-screen display.
Current and required dimensions
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current | The available photograph dimensions in pixels. |
| Required | The estimated pixels required for the current printed size and zoom. |
If the current width or height is below the requirement, the editor displays a warning.
After changing the crop
Run the check again; the required dimensions may have changed.
How to resolve low quality
| Option | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Replace photograph | Use this when you have a higher-quality original or another image. |
| Reduce dimensions | Use this when the photograph is an independent object and can be printed smaller. |
| Reduce zoom | Use this when only a small portion of the source photograph is being used. |
| Accept low quality | Use this only when no better source exists and you knowingly accept the risk. |
Recommended order
Try the original first, then reduce the size or zoom; accept the warning only as a last resort.
Accepting low quality
The Accept low quality button acknowledges the warning but does not repair the photograph.
- The file resolution does not increase.
- Blur or pixelation may remain visible in print.
- Acceptance applies to the specific object and its current settings.
- A new check may be required after changing the photograph or crop.
- Accept all should be used only after reviewing every item.
An informed decision
Continue only when you understand the risk and have no better photograph.
Empty photo container
- Add photograph - fills the missing image.
- Delete container - removes an unnecessary empty object when permitted.
- Accept empty container - intentionally leaves it empty.
- Accept all empty containers - confirms all currently empty positions.
- Run the check again after making a change.
Bulk acceptance
Use it only after visually checking every empty container.
Checking again and continuing
- Correct or accept the current issue.
- Move to the next issue.
- When finished, click Check again.
- If a new warning appears, resolve it.
- When no blocking issues remain, click Continue to cart.
Visual review is still required
Design Check cannot judge whether a face is aesthetically cropped or whether personal text is correct.
Saving the project and its final version
- Click Save.
- Wait for saving to finish.
- Check the project name.
