11. 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.
12. In the Layers panel, click the empty space to the left of the Template cold.tif
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.
13. Double-click the thumbnail of the Template cold.tif 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.
14. Change the Dim Images To fi eld 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 start drawing.
