Moving

Any object (image or text) can be moved around by dragging and dropping.

Resizing

You can also resize things by holding and dragging the points around the outside of a selected object.


Moving in front or behind

If a design is made up of several objects, you can move one in front of the other by clicking on the left hand side of the layer and dragging it up and down.

Selecting Multiple Objects

Hold down the 'Ctrl' key and click on each object (either in the design window on the left, or the layers on the right) to select several objects at once.

Changing Optional Extras (eye color, bows etc)

Some Pets have extra options, like choosing between a selection of eye or bow colors. The methods for selecting them are slightly different, depending on whether you have entered the Design Tool or not:


Before Entering the Design Tool

The choices will be displayed to the right of the product in the 'Personalize it' box. All you need to do is press 'Clear' on the options you don't want.

So in this example, clearing the red and pink bows will give this Maltese a blue bow. If you'd like to choose a different color, just press reload/refresh on your browser to restore all the bows and choose again.



While in the Design Tool

You'll notice that all the options are on different layers. All you need to do is delete the ones you don't want.

If you'd like to choose again just reload/refresh the page (be warned though, you will unfortunately lose any other customization you have done!)

Tip: If you would like to move/resize a pet with addional color options, make sure you select it and the optional extras (eg eyes) by clicking on the layers one at a time while pressing Ctrl.
