00:00:14:20 - 00:00:15:20
In this tutorial,
00:00:15:20 - 00:00:18:14
we'll learn how to specify
background resources
00:00:19:16 - 00:00:22:15
such as solid colors or static imagery
00:00:22:15 - 00:00:25:06
for use in our Invent templates
within MegaEdit.
00:00:26:12 - 00:00:29:17
This consists of generating one
or more resource sets
00:00:29:28 - 00:00:33:06
which are then directly selectable
from within the MegaEdit editor
00:00:33:16 - 00:00:37:28
with little additional setup required.
00:00:40:09 - 00:00:43:04
So we'll begin in Adobe InDesign
00:00:43:16 - 00:00:46:12
and make sure that we have the Infigo
Invent tab
00:00:46:12 - 00:00:48:15
available.
00:00:49:18 - 00:00:51:16
We're going to go to the Resources Tab.
00:00:51:16 - 00:00:54:23
This is where we can add
multiple different types of resource sets
00:00:55:06 - 00:00:58:27
and click on add resource set.
00:01:00:28 - 00:01:03:03
This loads up a separate pop up.
00:01:03:03 - 00:01:06:19
You presented with a range of resource
sets that you can create.
00:01:06:27 - 00:01:09:18
In this example,
we're creating a background set
00:01:09:29 - 00:01:14:25
and the other sets will be covered
in additional tutorials.
00:01:15:03 - 00:01:20:00
Backgrounds can be used on the product
as the decoration behind the main design.
00:01:20:12 - 00:01:23:17
This would sit behind everything
and provide the background
00:01:23:17 - 00:01:27:18
for the product.
00:01:27:18 - 00:01:29:02
So we'll select background set
00:01:30:09 - 00:01:30:21
and enter
00:01:30:21 - 00:01:38:25
a name.
00:01:42:04 - 00:01:42:21
We can set
00:01:42:21 - 00:01:46:19
the accessibility level
so if we want it available to both admins
00:01:46:19 - 00:01:51:06
and users or administrators, only,
and then we can define
00:01:51:06 - 00:01:55:07
some potential images to use
as backgrounds and some colors.
00:01:56:25 - 00:01:59:27
So starting off with some colors,
00:01:59:27 - 00:02:01:27
we simply need
to input a name for the color
00:02:04:28 - 00:02:08:16
and then click on Select Color.
00:02:09:01 - 00:02:13:00
We can input RGB Values, CMYK values,
00:02:13:11 - 00:02:23:16
or we can use the actual color
picker itself.
00:02:24:29 - 00:02:27:10
So I'm just going to, in my case,
put in the RGB
00:02:27:10 - 00:02:31:13
values and click select.
00:02:31:13 - 00:02:36:10
The color that has been selected will be
shown as the backdrop for the box here
00:02:37:29 - 00:02:40:16
and then set add color.
00:02:40:27 - 00:02:45:07
Numerous codes can be added into one
resource sets or create a few additional.
00:02:45:08 - 00:02:49:03
Now, so we've added a few colors
to our background set
00:02:49:23 - 00:02:54:09
and now we might want to add a few images.
00:02:56:27 - 00:02:57:12
So I'm just going
00:02:57:12 - 00:03:00:05
to go ahead and click
this add images or PDF.
00:03:01:27 - 00:03:03:05
so I can select the potential
00:03:03:05 - 00:03:06:08
background images that I want to use.
00:03:06:08 - 00:03:08:24
Click on Open and then they are added
00:03:08:24 - 00:03:12:05
to our resource set.
00:03:15:02 - 00:03:17:15
save on that resource set.
00:03:17:15 - 00:03:20:22
And then we just need
to reexport the MEX file.
00:03:22:08 - 00:03:25:26
So I'll go to export,
00:03:25:26 - 00:03:29:17
make sure there's a export
file location specified
00:03:30:21 - 00:03:33:20
and then I'll hit start validations.
00:03:33:20 - 00:03:35:17
It will perform some background checks.
00:03:35:17 - 00:03:38:16
In this case, it's
just saying I need to save the document
00:03:41:20 - 00:03:47:13
and then export.
00:03:48:02 - 00:03:48:14
Now I'm
00:03:48:14 - 00:03:51:14
going to navigate to my Infigo admin area
00:03:52:07 - 00:03:55:23
and modify one of my MegaEdit products.
00:03:56:07 - 00:04:00:28
So the easiest way to get to this screen
is to go to your MegaEdit products list
00:04:02:06 - 00:04:09:02
and then click on Edit
next to your relevant product.
00:04:09:02 - 00:04:12:01
On the top right hand side,
we have the MEX import,
00:04:12:02 - 00:04:16:19
so if we want to actually link this
or replace the currently used
00:04:16:28 - 00:04:20:01
MEX file down, we click this button.
00:04:21:01 - 00:04:23:27
All of the
MEX details will be shown on this screen.
00:04:24:08 - 00:04:28:23
In this case, there isn't one yet
uploaded on this product.
00:04:29:02 - 00:04:33:18
I can go to choose a file,
00:04:33:18 - 00:04:36:25
select the relevant file and open
00:04:36:25 - 00:04:38:23
and then import.
00:04:39:06 - 00:04:41:02
Once it's imported, all of the relevant
00:04:41:02 - 00:04:46:02
details will be shown on this screen,
including things such as the canvas
00:04:46:02 - 00:04:49:27
that's being created,
stock outputs, fonts,
00:04:49:27 - 00:04:53:20
clip arts and so on.
00:04:53:21 - 00:04:56:14
Now we can go ahead and launch
the MegaEdit editor
00:04:57:03 - 00:04:58:25
for this product.
00:04:59:09 - 00:05:01:13
So there's our simple product
all loaded up now,
00:05:02:09 - 00:05:06:00
We also have this background
selection option over on the left.
00:05:07:17 - 00:05:10:03
So we can choose the relevant category
00:05:10:03 - 00:05:12:03
and then just drag and drop the options
00:05:13:12 - 00:05:14:18
onto our product.
00:05:23:07 - 00:05:27:07
If we want to remove the selected
background, go to the background
00:05:27:07 - 00:05:32:06
selection area
and just click and drag the removal tool
00:05:32:07 - 00:05:34:00
onto the main canvas.
