Use the Previous/Next Size tools to change the size of a product.

• When first shown in Room view or Actual Size view, prints are sized at the "Starting Product Size" as specified in your Settings.
• Products using a product template will initially be shown at the template’s Design Size.  Use the tools to size up or down.
• If you are using a fixed-sized template, the Previous/Next Size tools are inapplicable.

Right-Click Feature - For Prints and Gallery Wraps

There is a gray triangle in the corner of the Previous/Next Size tools.  This indicates you have the option to right-click.  When you right-click on either tool, a popup menu appears with a list of all the product sizes available.  You can directly choose a size here.

• The sizes shown are based on the available product sizes within the assigned presentation option.  This is also known as Product Filtering.
• Alternate sizes (based on Paper Sizes) can be displayed by holding the OptionAlt key and right-clicking on the tool.  Sizes shown without a $ would require ordering as a Custom Product.

• A checkmark appears next to the currently selected paper size.

  • The Product Type is listed at the top, followed by the Product Template Name.
  • All paper sizes with the same aspect ratio will be listed.  Those without a $ will need to be ordered as a Custom Product.
