We know the feeling – you know there must be a way to do something, but you just can't figure it out.    Here's an example: there's no standard "title" aperture in PJ Remix, so how do you add a title? There are actually two ways to do it.
The easier way (but maybe also easier to get wrong) is simply this:
  1. Add a blank aperture to the layout using the Add button (left image, above)
  2. Change the aperture to Customise (right image, above)
  3. Uncheck the Constrain Proportions box and enter the values directly.
Easy as long as you remember the values: 112 wide by 200 high, as above. Whether you use this direct method, or templates, as explained below, you should right-click on the aperture to add a Note so we know this is where your title goes. Remember the actual text for your title goes in the window that pops up when you select your title option, as above. To use the second method you'll need to download the QBY Titles template collection. Once you've done that, here's how to set them up...
Click the More button on the Event window and select Import Templates.
Then select the Import Folder option and drag the QBY Title collection into the box, as above. Click Import and they will appear under Template Collections in the Navigation panel. You'll find just two templates in it, one for overlay pages and one for pagemount. You can use them on any format 9x9 or larger. When you want to add a title, SHIFT-DRAG the appropriate template on to the layout. (Remember Shift-dragging adds just aperture(s) rather than the whole "layout".) Be sure to use the overlay one on overlay layouts etc or the apertures will be the wrong size. Smooth sailing, Ian

yes but you need to make it a certain size for a title aperture, no?why not just add "title" as a size in the aperture list like it was in Retro?

Hi, I know this is an old (ish) post, but what about that last comment from Darlene? Is there a reason why there isn't a 'title' aperture in the list? I've just sent a bit of a rant (tongue in check and I hope light-heartedly) through to the PJ guys about this very issue. Thanks Mark

Good question. A Title aperture is just like any other. You can add apertures (for photos) and arrange them on the layout as you would on any page.
