STEP 2: Locate 6 images which corresponds to your 6 words. Possible sources include images from a digital camera or the internet. (The file format must be jpg.) Below is an en example of searching for an image using Google.

STEP 3: Change the file names of your images/save the image, giving each image a new name that corresponds to its position in the list of words. If for example your first word is carrot, your first image might be a picture of a carrot. In this example the image of a carrot would be renamed and become item_1.

 

STEP 4: Replace the existing images in the image_word folder with your new images. The program rescales your images to fit but it is good practice to use images that are 320 by 300 pixels.

 

Images come in different formats, On the internet and from digital cameras Jpg is the most common however other formats exist such as gif and png. The e-template will only display jpg files and the extension must be jpg (not jpeg)

When you overwrite one image with another image you will be asked to confirm this. Click yes. If you haven't seen this dialog box you may be using the wrong type of image files.
