The picture will be inserted after the currently selected photo in the Photo Viewer. 

 

There are additional options available by click the camera dropdown button:

 

Add to Selected Photo Section -  Has same function as the 'Add Last' link button

 

Replace Currently Selected Photo - If a photo is selected and highlighted in the Photo Viewer then clicking this option will Replace the selected photo.

 

Choose Camera Photo Folder to Monitor - Click this option to select your cameras bin folder.  Photos will be added from this folder location. 

 

 

FastPhotoReports includes a great feature called 'Photo Placeholders'.   A 'Photo Placeholder' is simply a container where you plan to insert a photo later.  This is very useful when you know specifically what photo you are expecting such as the report Cover Photo.  When creating report templates Photo Placeholders can save a lot of time because you simple insert the actual photos into the placeholders and you are done.

 

To insert a 'Photo Placeholder'

 

 

 

You will be prompted to enter a 'Hint' for the placeholder.  For example: "Report Cover Photo Here".  If you leave the prompt blank the hint will become 'Place Image Here'

 

 

Click OK and the Photo Placeholder will be added:

 

You can change the Hint Text at any time by selecting the Placeholder and clicking the option on the Placeholder dropdown menu.

 

 

 

 

To insert a photo into a placeholder simply double click the placeholder and browse to the desired photo.

 

-- OR --

 

Click the   open image button in the placeholders section of the Insert toolbar

 

--  OR  --

 

Select the placeholder (click) and then double click an image in the Photo Work Bin to insert.

 

NOTE:  You can add drawings / annotations and text comments to Photo Placeholders which will remain even after a photo is inserted into the placeholder!

 

 

 

You can insert a photo from the clipboard into the report by first selecting a photo in the Photo Viewer and then selecting either 'Add new Image From Clipboard' or 'Replace Selected Image with Image from Clipboard' from the Clipboard section of the Insert Toolbar as shown below:

 

 

 

You can add a blank white photo to the report by first selecting a photo in the Photo Viewer and then selecting either Insert Before or Insert After from the Blank White Phtoo section of the Insert Toolbar as shown below:

 

 

You can use 'Blank White Photos' to serve as spacers among photos or to Create custom sketches / drawings using the Photo annotation drawing tools.  See the Image Editor section for more information about annotation and drawing tools.

 

A Comment Block is a block of text that will span from the left margin to the right margin in the midst of photos. Different than a 'Text Paragraph' subsection, the comment block will not have any titles or subtitles nor appear in the Table of Contents.  Comment blocks can be moved around by dragging just like a photo.
