Notice which tool drawer opens on the left hand side as you try to click on the photo box. If the embellishment drawer opens, you will know there is an element sitting on top of the photo box. You can simply move the item off to the side or send it down a layer(s) to have access to the photo box.

Can I give Photo Jurni free content or Freebies to others? Unfortunately, no. Just because Photo Jurni has the right to give its content away free, doesn’t mean it’s OK for you to give it away free – sorry. The reason is, we provide free content to have new Members register (for free) on Photo Jurni and to ensure the Designer is recognized in the process. It is OK for you to post links to our download page or the page of a specific designer on Photo Jurni, and for others to Register and download the designs direct from us.
