Hi, I am a newbie at SwishMax2 so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to get a handle on how to manipulate the headers (loaded as predefined images in the contours template as well as for masks (loaded as predefined images also in the SwishMax template). They are nice but they do not flow with what I am trying to present. I have had NO luck in changing either the header or the mask. I am attaching some screen shots of the the items I do not know how to change. Please help if you have done this before. I have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance.

...what do you want to change - the image (grass) or the color of the header? - and you don't touch the mask .

i want to change the shape of the mask and the shape of the header. How do I do that?

..why?...the "header" has 4 different shaped grahics - header1, 2, 3 and 4 - and the image and it's mask (which is also a shaped graphic) is located between header 1+2 and header 3+4.
The change the shapes of the headers and the mask of the image, you either have to draw these by hand in SM2 or you have to prefab these in photoshop and then import these into SM2 and make sure that they have the same dimensions and the new shape does not interfere with the rest of the outlay and the same order is contained in the "Outline" panel etc.

That is the answer I was looking for. Thank you!! I really appreciate the input. My Client has an image that will not fit into the mask so I have to enlarge it to capture the entire image and its particular shape. They also want the mask to apply a curve to the bottom of the site. You can visit the site here: www.amtworld.com and see what I mean.

Thank you,
