3b How do templates work and how to edit them?

How do the Fotillo templates work and how can you edit individual template elements to customise them?

Each original Fotillo template consists of the following elements:

  • Collage.xml – the place where the basic/uniform background colours, the dimensions of the individual frames, the software-defined texts and how the other template components are interpreted are set.
  • Background.png – the background of the template.
  • Collage.png – the software displays this image as a preview of what the layout of a given template and selection button looks like in the software.
  • Frame.png – the frame is applied in standard mode (if someone purchases a single Fotillo Vending and PosctCard image or each Fotillo Photobooth image). The Frame file is placed with single photos in each software.
  • FrameG.png – the frame is printed in service mode after inserting a special Gold token (only in Fotillo Vending and PostCard). 
  • FrameS.png – frame is applied after purchasing a package (Promotion button in Fotillo Vending and PostCard), can also be activated after throwing in the special Silver token.
  • FrameL.png – the frame is placed on the print, the photo is saved without the frame on disk. This can be used to print the photo with the logo and save without it, allowing the photo to be used later for other purposes.

    Each Frame file can be edited, and thus the photos can be edited. You can add your own or your client’s logos in them, add your own text or even change the frame completely. 
  • The Overlay and CutOut.png files – are overlays for the live preview and matrices for cutting out the photo.
