Back to Begin building your first album segment
FINISHING YOUR FIRST ALBUM SEGMENT
As you finish each individual album segment (the pictures/images that you want included in the style),
click on the BUILD button.
In the SELECT APPLICATION TYPE box click the radio button
"create presentation as an application".
In the OPTIONS box click the button "copy all photo images
into the application".
If you are going to combine several style segments then you can also click the
button "exclude the vaengine.dll from the package to be built".
In the APPLICATION FOLDER input field you'll name each folder sequentially, using the
subfolders that you created in step A to hold the
finished album segments (MYALBUM/WEDDING/ALBUM01, etc.). When you're finished, each individual album
segment/style will have it's own name (.../ALBUM01, .../ALBUM02, etc). Once you've finished building
all the segments (or styles), you won't need the PROJECT/PICTURES... folders any more, and you can
delete them if you want to reclaim the disc space.
BTW - when you do the BUILD, 3D-Album may give
you a message saying that the folder already exists. No big surprise, as we created the empty folders
earlier. Just go ahead and select the delete option.
If your images are not jpeg, png, gif, or bmp, and you haven't already converted them, then you may need
to have 3D-Album convert them during the build process. You do this by checking the file convert option
during the actual BUILD.
Before you BUILD each album, be sure to enable the synchronization of the animation timer.
This is the fourth icon from the right at the top (the chains). If enabled, it will have a blue outer
ring and the display text when you put your cursor over it will read "toggle to disenable…" See the
Problems, Tips, and Solutions section for a discussion on this feature.
OK, You're ready to use the MIXER to Combine your albums.
