Photo Templates and Template Editor
Queso’s Template Editor allows you to build a photo template for your event. There are three components in a Photo Templates:
Layout
Background
Overlay
A Photo Template is a single image that has one or more photo captures arranged by a selected layout that places them in specific locations on top of a background.
Though not required, Photo Templates can also include an overlay, which is placed on top of both the background and photo captures.
Photo Templates – also known as Print Templates – can be printed or sent digitally through email or text.
