To edit an existing template or create a new template click the "Template" button as shown below.

The following window will appear. Here you can either select an existing template to edit or create a new template from scratch. To edit the Artfolio Creator's builtin templates, you must first make a copy of the template you want and then edit that copy. The changes you make are automatically saved as you edit a template.

The template options are as follows:
- Copy: Click this button to create a copy of the currently selected template. This is usefull if you wish to either edit a builtin template or make a new template based on an existing one.
- Delete: Click this button to delete the currently selected template.
- Edit: Click this button to show or hide the template editor.
The template editor has the following properties for the templates background:
- Background Image: You can select a JPEG, PNG, BMP or GIF image file to use as a background image. How the background image is displayed depends on the Background Style selected.
- Background Style: You can select to display the background image in several ways, either Normal, Tiled, Horizontal or Vertical. Normal will place the image at the top left corner of a portfolio page. Tiled will repeat the image in a tiled fashion across all of a portfolio page. Horizontal will repeat the image in a horizontal line across the top of a portfolio page. Vertical will repeat the image in a vertical line down the left hand side of a portfolio page.
- Background Color: You can specify a color to use as the background. This is usefull if you do not specify a background image or if you display the background image on some but not all of the page.
A template is composed of multiple Elements, such as the title, headings, text and so on. By selecting an element you can adjust its properties such as the font used, the colors used and so on.
