Voodoo Announces New Built-in Image Editing Functionality

7. July 2015
We've rolled out another powerful new feature—image editing functionality within Voodoo. You can now upload and instantly edit your images without leaving the Voodoo interface. Crop, resize and add text...even add effects and frames. 

 

This QuickTip explains how to use the new Image Editor to edit images you'll embed in your email templates and the photo used in your Digital Business Card. 

Voodoo QuickTip #211 - New Image Editing Feature

Editing an Image in your Image Library 

1.  Upload your image to the Image Library

2. Click the pencil icon to edit the image. Note:  When you edit an image and save the changes, you are updating the existing image. To keep the original image, make a copy (using the copy icon) first, then make edits to the copy.

4. When making changes to your Digital Business Card photo, it's important to note that in order for the image to be displayed properly in your video frame, we recommend a size of 135:160 pixels. To make this easy for you we have added a crop preset called DBC Photo (4:5) to the Crop toolbar. Just click the Crop button on the toolbar.
