The Select Edge / Style Color tool allows you to customize the color of your applied Gallery Wrap Edge or Virtual Style.  A Virtual Style or Gallery Wrap Edge must be applied first before using this tool.

1. Click on the Select Edge / Style Color tool.
2. Select which layer of the style you wish to customize. (Gallery Wrap edge treatments work in the same way.)
3. Use the red color guide circle to navigate around your image.  As you navigate, the color of your selected layer will change.
4. Once you have navigated over a color you want to choose, click the mouse.  The color is then applied to the selected layer.
5. Repeat the process for all layers.
6. To exit, click anywhere outside the product.

Saving a Custom Color

After creating a custom-colored Virtual Style or Edge, you can save it for future use.  

1. For Virtual Stryles, go to the top menu, Products > Traditional Mats & Virtual Styles > Save Virtual Styles to Designer.  Alternatively, right-click on the product and select "Save Virtual Styles to Designer."
2. For Gallery Wrap Edge Treatments, go to the top menu, Products > Gallery Wraps > Save Edge Treatments to Designer.  Alternatively, right-click on the product and select "Save Edge Treatments to Designer."
   
   
   
   
3. Create a name for the custom-colored item.
4. Choose which folder to save it into within the designer.  We recommend creating a Custom Color folder.
5. Click the Save button.

You can apply a gallery wrap edge to your product when in any View mode, but we recommend using Cropping view.  In other View modes, only the face of the gallery wrap is visible.  When working in Cropping view, the edges are visible as well. 

Click on the Select Gallery Wrap Edge tool in the toolbar to see the drop-down menu of available edges.  Gallery Wraps must have an edge applied.  By default, Gallery Wrap Edges are set to "full."  Open the Gallery Wrap Edges dialog by going to the top menu, Products > Gallery Wraps > Edge Treatments to add or edit your edges.

The currently applied Gallery Wrap Edge is shown in the left column of the Info Bar.
