How can we use the ReadKidz image editor to create an exciting illustrated picture book?
Step 1 : Image editing
After entering the image editing page, we can right-click on the image, select "Image is suitable for background", so that the image covers the canvas, which is more convenient for creation!
Of course, you can also create by using other features of the image editing, such as: zoom in and out, rotate, etc!
If you think the layout of the image is still not creative enough, you can use the cropping tool in the editor! The cropping tool contains different masks, and you can choose different shaped cropping masks according to your needs to adjust the illustration shape, making your picture book more creative!
The cropping area can be rotated, adjusting the rotation angle can change the shape of the crop, making your illustration's shape more creative! (Please note: After the crop is completed, please remember to click "confirm", otherwise the crop is invalid!)
After cropping, adjust the position of the cropped image to make the scene more harmonious!
The editor also supports the image upload feature, just click "upload image" on the right side of the editing page to upload the image you need!
Image editing tips :
If the generated image is not conducive to subtitle layout, we can move the image to a reasonable position according to the composition of the picture, then copy the image and align the edges of the two images, make the two images more matched by flipping the image, and then adjust the subtitles to a suitable position, which can better carry out picture book layout design!
Step 2 : Adjust subtitles
After editing the image, you can proceed with subtitle layout design. Click on the subtitle, and the corresponding font settings will appear at the top! Choose a suitable font style, adjust the appropriate size, and then place it in the right position to make the entire scene look more harmonious!
If you want to add new subtitles, you can click on the text library in the right-hand toolbar, add subtitles, and the text library contains various styles of font effects, which you can choose according to your needs! (Please note: To make the whole picture book look more consistent, it is recommended to set the subtitles to a unified font effect!)
Subtitle Tips :
After designing the font style for a subtitle, right-click the subtitle and select "Copy Style" to unify the styles of all subtitles, but this will not unify the positions of all subtitles, and manual adjustment of each page's subtitle position is still needed! (Note: This operation does not apply to the font styles of the cover and end pages.)
If you think the font on the picture is too monotonous, you can also open the material library in the right toolbar, select a suitable bubble, and make your picture look more creative!
When using bubbles, pay attention to the layer position of the bubble and text. Remember to right-click the text or right-click the bubble to place the text on top of the bubble!
Of course, when using the material library, you can also select appropriate stickers according to categories and add them to the canvas to make the entire picture more harmonious and interesting!
Sticker tips :
When the overall composition of the generated image is good but slightly flawed, stickers can be used to cover up parts that are not satisfactory!
Step 3 : Voiceover
After we complete the layout design of all pages of the picture book, we can proceed with the voiceover for the subtitles!
Click on the voice library in the right-hand toolbar, click the "change voice actor" button to enter the voice library, listen to the voice actors' voices, choose your favorite voice actor to voice your story, and different subtitles can also choose different voice actors.
Voice acting tips :
â‘ You can click "change voice actor" without checking the subtitles to directly enter the voice actor list, confirm the voice actor, and then you can unify all subtitles to use that voice actor!
â‘¡ You can also check the subtitle, enter the voiceover list, and voiceover the subtitle separately!
â‘¢ Subtitle addition can also be voice narrated, and you can drag the subtitle order in the voice narration list to adjust the reading order of subtitles on the page!
Step 4: Background Music
After we have dubbed all the subtitles, we can add interesting background music. The background music library contains various types of music. Click the + button to add background music! Click the play icon to pause or play the music! Choose the appropriate background music according to the story content to make the whole picture book story more vivid and interesting!
Step 5: Background wall
The final step in making picture books is to add a suitable background wall. We can click on the background wall library in the right toolbar and select the background image that best matches the illustration style of the picture book, making the preview of the picture book more visually appealing!
