Import and Export

Sites, layout templates, pages and images may be shared between users or copied between StudioLine sites. This allows delegating work between multiple users and reusing designs for several projects.

StudioLine can also exchange text and images with third-party word processing software and graphics tools.

Sites

Choose Export or Import from the File menu to transfer an entire site, including publishing profiles, layout templates, pages and any associated images or media files.

Layout Templates

Choose Export or Import from the File menu to transfer layout templates and associated images or media files between computers.

Pages

Choose Export or Import from the File menu to transfer the current page, its layout and any associated images or media files.

Images

Images may be exported from the image archive or from the page and layout editors and later used by other applications. A variety of standard file formats is supported.

The size of the exported image in Megapixels is controlled by the Image Base Preferences.

Effects and Collages

The power of StudioLine’s image tools can also benefit other applications. Open the StudioLine page editor, compose a collage of images, apply any desired effects. Then select the entire collage and export. When prompted, choose the option to create a single collage of images.

Image Archives

Image archives are collections of images stored in a proprietary StudioLine archival format. Besides the actual image, this also retains any tool settings and descriptor values for each picture.

To create portable image archives, switch to Image Archive mode, select a folder or an image and choose Export from the File menu. The image archives may be imported by other StudioLine users.

Be mindful of copyrights and license restrictions before sharing pictures with other people.

Text

Text blocks may be dragged directly from most word processing tools to the StudioLine page editor. In cases where this may not work, create a new text object on the page, then copy and paste the text.

Text Effects

The StudioLine page editor and its image tools offer great opportunities to design interesting headlines or banner text. Once image tools are applied against a text element, it can be treated as if it were an image and exported for use by other applications.
