"Hey everybody! My name is Matt. I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. In order to change the attributes of a picture, make sure you have that picture. If it's inside of a panel, you're going to need to double click that panel. I'm going to double click that picture right there and come over to details. If you uncheck where it says maintain aspect ratio, you can then squish and stretch your picture. In some instances, you may need to do that, but I'm going to go ahead and undo that and reselect my picture and recheck that. You can also flip your pictures along the horizontal or the vertical axis by clicking horizontal and vertical there. If you come down, underneath style attributes, you can change a lot of different things here. You can add frames to your pictures and adjust the width and the shadow of that as well. Underneath where it says filter, you can come in and do some cool effects there. Where it says style up here, there's some pretty cool presets here. If I click there and come down. I'm going to see what 70s rag newspaper does. Like I said, these are presets and that's going to change the filter as well as the colors and some other options there. You can get some pretty cool looking effects by doing this. If you know which ones to select, you can actually make your pictures look kind of like they're actual comic books. You can play around with these and create some pretty interesting effects with your pictures this way. "
