9. Click the Horizontal Align Center and Vertical Align Center buttons in the
Control panel.

Because you selected the rounded rectangle as the key object, the placed template image
moves to the horizontal and vertical center of the rounded rectangle; the rectangle —
the key object — remains in the same place.

10. In the Layers panel, click the empty space to the left of the Template picnic.jpg
layer to relock that layer.

Now that the template object is in place, it’s a good idea to lock it again so you don’t
accidentally move the object.

11. Double-click the layer thumbnail of the Template picnic.jpg layer.

Double-clicking a layer thumbnail opens the Layer Options dialog box for that layer,
where you can change a number of attributes for the selected layer.

12. Change the Dim Images To field to 30, and then click OK to close the Layer
Options dialog box.
Dimming the template image will make it easier to see your artwork when you draw.

13. Repeat Steps 3–12 to position the other three template images in the first-
row rectangles (as shown in the following image). Note:
The Color menu in the
Layer Options dialog
box determines the
color of bounding box
handles and other visual
indicators for objects on
a layer.
