PhotoFun Quick Start

It's easy to do fun things quickly with PhotoFun. If you need help, double-click Leo the Firefly at any time!

Here's how to get started:

After you sign in, click the OK checkmark. You'll be taken to The Rabbit Hole!

Once inside, there are two ways to start having fun with PhotoFun:

  1. You can pick a ready-made template in the Fun Projects screen and then customize it by inserting your photo.

  2. Or, you can pick a photo in The Photo Room, and then make changes or insert it into a ready-made template.

Starting with a ready-made template:

In the Rabbit Hole, click the crank until you find the activity you want, and then click on the activity once. (You can also click and drag your mouse to explore everywhere)

You'll be taken to the Fun Projects screen where you can choose from gazillions of ready-made templates. Start by choosing the kind of project you want to make. Use the right and left arrows to scroll through the albums, and then click once on the one you like.

Once you click on an album, you can see all the projects in that album. Thumbnails (small pictures of the templates) are displayed inside the filmstrips. Click once on a thumbnail in the filmstrip. The full size template will appear on the right side.

Then, click the green arrow to go to the Fun Lab. If you want to select a different kind of project, click the red arrow to go back to the Rabbit Hole.

You will be taken to The Fun Lab where you can edit your Fun Project by adding fun props to it, painting on it, and much much more!

In The Fun Lab, you can insert your own photo into the template by clicking on the button leading to The Photo Room.

When you are done with your Fun Project, click the green arrow to go to The Message Center. Then you can share your project with your friends!

Starting with a photo:

Click the crank until you find the The Photo Room button. (You can also click and drag your mouse)

This is The Photo Room button. Click it once to go inside.

Inside the Photo room, you can choose where to find the photo you want to use. Click once on the Library Books, Camera, Internet Globe, Computer, Scanner, or PhotoFun CD. Follow the instructions for the device you choose to load a photo.

Click once on a photo in the filmstrip, and then click the OK checkmark.

You will be taken to The Fun Lab where you can edit your photo by changing its colors, adding wacky cartoon props to it, painting on it, distorting it, and much much more!

Inside the Fun lab, you can insert your photo in a ready-made template by clicking the Fun Projects button.
