Composites

Use the composite feature to create digital products such as multi-image wall portraits, custom album pages, holiday cards, sports cards, or image effects. Quickly and easily drop your client’s images into the composite, instantly creating a custom digital product.

Please note: Because we are continually updating our library of training videos as new versions of our software are released, this video will likely show an older or newer version of StudioPlus Spectra/myStratus than you have installed. Don't worry! The video will still give you a great overview of this feature.
