Builder brands: Image Editor

We all know that creating a website needs to have visually appealing images. Images can catch someone's attention, tell your story, and engage your audience. Network Solutions' website builder allows you to add, edit, and manage your images quickly, and it also comes with a library of stock images to help you get started.

Image Editor sections

The Image Editor is now a Digital Studio that is broken into two sections: 

• Project Library - The image library tab will display the images in your project library:
  • When you hover over an image, icons will appear that allow you to access various editing and management functions.
  • The images will be ordered by creation date in descending order.
    
    
     
• Project Creator - By navigating to the Project Creator tab, the user is now able to choose the size of the content they would like to create.  
  • If a user selects one of the preselected sizes, the editor MFE will generate and allow the user to start editing their new content.
  • If a user selects the custom size, they get prompted to select the size of the canvas.
