Graphic content objects personalize your document by displaying recipient-specific images. Regular graphic content objects allow you to display different images for different recipients. For example, in a phone upgrade campaign, each recipient may receive an image of his or her phone model.
uCreate further personalizes your document with graphic content objects that use XMPie uImage. uImage graphic content objects embed personalization into the image itself. The embedded personalization may include text, images or both. For example, the following figure shows the same base image, personalized for two recipients by embedding recipient-specific text: the recipient's first name, Ernest or Faith.
The following shows the same base image, personalized for two recipients by embedding recipient-specific images: a photo of a family or a photo of people in a boat.
Such personalization, embedded seamlessly into images, can greatly enhance your Design.
The workflow begins in Photoshop/Illustrator and continues in uCreate Print:
-
In Photoshop or Illustrator: the designer defines how the uImage tags fit into the image. This procedure is described in uImage help.
-
In uCreate Print: The designer defines the dynamic content of the uImage tags, and then places the personalized images inside the document.
To use uImage in uCreate Print, you need a uImage content object (also known as a uImage content object): a graphic content object that references the uImage template and defines the parameters required to generate personalized images.
