 ...The
LogoStudio in PagePlus X6
Producing marketing materials for a range of media is what PagePlus was
made for. You can even design your own logo from scratch within the program! Here's
an overview of PagePlus X6's LogoStudio...
 With
your document open (we're creating a business card), go to Insert>Logo
and drag a frame onto the document, or use a pre-designed logo by clicking Browse in the Assets tab and selecting a logo under Pack Files.
Either of these methods will automatically open the LogoStudio (left) where you can craft your
design.
Here you can customize your chosen pre-designed logo or create a logo completely from scratch.
|
 Focus
on every aspect of the logo with a range of tools and features in the
studio.
For example, use the QuickShape tool to quickly create memorable
graphics and the Swatches tab to build a color palette that suits your
brand.
Once
you've finished designing, click Close LogoStudio
(below) to return to your
document.
|
 You
can now resize and position your newly-designed logo in your PagePlus
document. It's as simple as that!
You can access more support, resources, and Serif forums on the
Serif website.

 MoviePlus
X6
Rewind or fast forward your movie with controls in the Video Preview
window.
The slider to the right of the play and stop buttons enables you to track
forwards and backwards in your clip.
The further you slide it to the left or right, the quicker it will
rewind or fast forward.
PhotoPlus X5
Cloning is a quick and accurate way to remove objects from your photos.
Select the Clone tool ( ) and, while holding shift, click the section of a photo you
want to use to clone over a problem area. Then click
on that problem area.
This technique is brilliant for removing objects on busy backgrounds.

More Serif reviews
"I enjoy PagePlus X6 as an all-in-one problem solver. Having excellent PDF import
and editing, a capable set of graphics and photo editing tools, and a versatile text editor housed in one logical and consistent interface really speeds up my work." Mr D. Ticheler
"I was floored at {CraftArtist's} high-quality tools that make other software
look like paper and glue sticks. I work in New York as a designer for a
top fashion retailer and... CraftArtist
Platinum is so specific to a crafter's needs that you will not need anything else outside of this program." Krazylion
