It’s easy to print your own calendar at home. Start by picking a calendar project.
And load some photos. I’ve got a bunch of ski photos on my computer. I’ll grab them
all. They’re in. Hit continue. Here I’ll confirm those photos and choose how many months
I want to frame. Notice as I increase the number of months, the number of photos per
month goes down. Let’s make about three months of calendars.
Smart arrangement lays them out and now we can set some of the features of the calendar
like the starting month or the set of international holidays or even the size of the dates on
the grid. Down in the advanced controls are a bunch of other cool things we’ll check
out later. For now let’s continue on here and add a personal touch. We’ll try a different
theme. In the basics category we’ve got circles
which is kind of cool. I like the bright paper scene because it copies the main photo to
the background. Let’s move those up out of the way so we can see the face. And for
our final touch, we’ll head back to the settings panel, hit those advanced controls
that we saw before, and here’s a little designer tip. You can grab a color that’s
in one of your photos and apply it to the calendar.
So here we’ll make the weekends and the title purple to match the clothing that the
skiers are wearing, kind of ties it all together. Preview again. Looks great. As a final check
we’ll do the full screen preview so you can see it in high res. This is great to let
you know you’re on right track and that you’re ready to print. Here we go.
