DrawPlus Version 7
To make your 35mm slides from DrawPlus Version 7, create a new file, then go to "Page Setup" in the drop-down menus. Choose "Regular Document Type", then choose "Custom Document Size". Set the orientation to Landscape and give it a width of 11.000 in. and a height of 7.330 in. Remember not to put anything too close to the edges and risk it being covered by the slide mount. Things too close to the edges will be cut off when the slides are mounted, and the design usually looks better with text and graphics not going right to the edges. When designing your 35mm slides, make a full frame background with a dark fill, as slides always begin with a black background rather than the default white that paper usually has. If you really want to have a white background, please draw a filled white rectangle for the background. If you would like to use a free template we have made using the correct size, download our file dpptemplate.zip
When you save your file, go to the drop-down menu in the upper left of your screen; choose "File," then "Save As," and save the file as a .dpp file.
