FAQ
How to transform design objects?
Objects tab in the menu on the left contains various elements for making your designs more individual. These are shapes, lines, borders, icons, etc. To add a new object to your design, please choose a suitable element on the left and click on it or drag it on the canvas. Use the Delete button in the editor or the Backspace button on your keyboard or just drag the object beyond the artboard to remove it. Note that illustrations and icons can have more than just one color, and such a feature lets you modify colors up to your needs provided that there are no more than 4 colors used.
What editing options are available in VistaCreate?
You can edit text — change fonts, text size, color, orientation, alignment, spacing. You can move objects between layers, flip, crop, copy, rotate, and change transparency. You can apply filters to images, add or remove objects and photos, as well as upload your own images and fonts to use in designs.
How do I apply a color mask/filter over a picture in VistaCreate?
Add a photo on the artboard. Apply the “Grayscale” effect and then set up the needed brightness and contrasts levels. Go to the "Objects" tab and add an object (for example, a blue square) and pull the object’s edges to fully cover the photo. Change the color of this object to whatever you like and set "Transparency" at whatever level pleases you, for example, 30%. And voilà!
