If you look at a old vacation images, it might look like changing the background is a big thing (mom and dad in front of famous building, mom and dad in front of famous bridge, ... ;-) but when you create a picture, I don't think it is a normal action in most cases. I think a more interesting feature would be to change which stamps are available, based on which starter image you choose. Underwater-image: fish, submarine, ... Street-picture: cars, people, bicycles, ... Space-picture: ufo, astronaut, space ships, ... Picture of your local school: teachers, pupils, ... With such a feature, it would be possible to set up projects to work with themes, whitout your theme getting drowned among all the other stamps. For instance have a picture of your local park, and stamps with local flowers with a informative text description connected to them. Kind regards, Tore |
