Use your Own Backgrounds

iMenuPro includes hundreds of ready-made backgrounds but you can also use your own image as a background or watermark. Here’s how to do it:

1. Upload your image onto your menu (if you have not already done so) with Insert > Uploaded Image

2. Once the image is on the menu, resize it to cover the background space you need. You can resize using the resize handle (lower right) that appears when you hover your mouse over the image, or you can click the image to edit its size to exact dimensions.

3. Once sized, right-click the image (or on an iPad touch-hold) and select Underneath Text. This will move the image underneath the menu text. If you have other images on your menu that are already underneath the text you can right-click the image and select Send to back or Move to front to send the image to the back of the line or the front of the line so to speak.

4. If you still need to make adjustments once the image is underneath the text use View > Disable menu text to allow access to the image without the text getting in the way. When you’re done, use View enable text to re-enable the text. You can also do this by clicking the orange shortcut menu text at the top, upper right of the status bar.

5. If your image is not already a watermark and you don’t have access to an image editor, click the image to edit it and check Lighten and select a lightness value that will allow your image to work as a background.

Tip

You can also use this trick with any image in the iMenuPro Artisan Image collection. For most Artisan images you can change the color and opacity of the image (makes them lighter) using the colorize box (the opacity slider appears at the bottom of colorize box).
