Tips
When duplicating, adjust the image size before duplicating the element so that both elements will be the same size.
When using “Clear Whitespace” tool, it is best used with flat graphics or vectorized images. With a photograph, it is a lot more difficult to remove the background.
Make sure to change the color of uploaded images before uploading into CreativeStudio.
Unlocking the aspect ratio will help changing an image from a square to a rectangle. This helps a lot with backgrounds!
