Shift the image precisely to create binding space or correct the layout

Introduction

If you want to create space for staples or punch holes, for example, you can use the [Align] function. However, when the [Align] function is not precise enough, you can use the [Margin shift] and [Image shift] functions. These functions allow you to shift the image more precisely. The preview in the right-hand pane of the control panel displays the consequences of your changes. If you shift the margin too much, you may loose part of the image.

The [Shift] function has two options.

  • [Margin shift] allows you to increase or decrease the margin horizontally to create more binding space, for example. With [Margin shift], you can shift an image relative to the binding edge.

  • [Image shift] allows you to move the image horizontally and vertically. This gives you more freedom in moving the image exactly to the desired position.
