# New Features

The following is an overview of all the great new features of this software:

## Spellchecker

The spellchecker helps you avoid typos in your texts. Typographic errors are underlined in red. A context menu pops up with suggested corrections which you can insert simply by clicking on them.

You can add your own corrections and thus extend your spellchecker dictionary’s vocabulary as you use it.

## Calendar Assistant

Just like for photo books, there is now a calendar design assistant which can handle part of the creative process for you.

## Adding Shadows

You can now add a shadow to your images using the frame function. The distance between the image and the shadow as well as the shadow's direction and level of transparency can all be easy customized. | Example:

## Image Masks

You can now add image masks to shape or fade your photos. There are lots to choose from and even more available to download.

A few examples:

Image masks are available under the ‘Layout tab’. Simply drag your chosen mask onto the image you want it to affect.

## Using Clipart

The term clipart refers to vector graphics which you can use to customize some photo products.
Simply drag them out of the object browser into the product editor workspace, where you can scale them without impacting quality.

Baby | Corners and ornaments | Weddings | Holidays | Animals

## Page numbers

You can now number the pages in your photo book with sequential numbers.

You can set the alignment (top or bottom, inside, outside, and centered), the gap to the edge of the page as well as the type format.. You can also add an outline in a different colour to letters for easier reading against coloured or picture backgrounds.

## New Align Functions in the Layout Tool

The new frame functions support right, left, top and bottom justification, centering, and let you rotate and scale the frame.

Numeric input is now supported for the frame size and rotation.

The Jacobs software gives you even more precise control on the way your images and texts are organized in your layout.

## New Single Colour Backgrounds

There are now lots of single colour backgrounds to choose from so you can pick the right one to compliment your images.

## Uploading Images to locr.com

If you are a member of the "locr.com" Internet photo community, you can automatically upload any images that you add to a photo product to your locr web album when you place an order.
