MAKING A FLYER – PLACING IMAGES
Placing an image is the best way. You can use File -> Place to put an image in the document, this will
place the image as a Smart Object and you will be able to resize
it without losing quality.
You can put images in three ways.- Copy and paste the image from
online into the document.- Open the document and drag it in.
- Place it in the document.

time, location, and any other specifics.

COMMON PROBLEMS- Object won't move.• Make sure the "Move" tool is selected.- Picture is on top of text.• Make sure the layers are in the correct order.- Custom shapes are just one layer.• Make sure you click out of the shape before you make a new
one.- Can't edit Smart Objects.• They are not supposed to be directly edited. But if you need
to, you must first "Rasterize" the layer.
