Products: How can I edit the photo on my product?

When creating photo products (such as photo mugs, calendars and jigsaws) you want to ensure that your photo is displayed in all its glory.

In the product designer you get an easy-to-use pverview of how your photo product will look. Adjust the photo according to how you want it - until it's just right!
