Troubleshooting
Check your zoom level and preview at 100% for accurate representation. Consider how photos will appear in print versus on screen.
Use contrasting colours and increase line width. Consider the final print size when adding small details.
Make subtle adjustments rather than extreme changes. Start with small increments (±10-20%) for natural results.
Click Done to save your edits. Changes auto-apply as you make them, but you need to save to see them in your story.
