These templates each contain a number of discrete elements like text, an image, a frame and maybe a background. These elements are referred to as objects and can be moved and modified independently. This is, of course, incredibly easy and intuitive, but you have to remember that this is a special image file format that cannot be used by other programs. When you want to save or export your projects, you will need to change the format to one that can be used by other programs (i.e. JPG, GIF or BMP). Object information will no longer be available in the new format.
