It’s All In The Lines
We put together some tips to help you get the most out of Shape Maker. It’s simple and fun to use, but using easy-to-capture images makes Shape Maker even simpler.
-Thick black lines on a white background work best. We suggest using a black felt marker. Pictures or designs saved to your iPad’s camera roll should have a similar contrast.
-When taking a photo of your design, reduce shadows as much as possible to help ensure a usable capture.
-You can also use illustration software to make a black on white graphic, save it as an image file, and then save the image to your camera roll. Once you’re in PrintShop 1.5, you can upload the image directly from your iPad’s camera roll.
