Abstract: A system for creating and editing image and or text-based projects includes a server connected to a network and having access a processor and a data repository, and software running from a non-transitory physical medium, the software providing for establishing a client-server connection between the server and at least one user-operated computing appliance connected to the network, initiating and maintaining an active data session between one or more users involved in project creation and or in project editing through a graphics user interface (GUI), establishing a layout grid and defining gridlines as snap-to targets, establishing snap guides for specified assets to be placed on a canvass in an image and or text-based project, and establishing a distance threshold representing the distance between an asset and a gridline before snapping occurs, selectively de-activating or deleting gridlines for snap-to functionality with certain assets based on breach of an asset population threshold.

Abstract: A system for creating image and text-based projects includes a server and software running from physical medium providing a first function for establishing a client-server connection between the server and a computing appliance, a second function for initiating a data session with a user, a third function for the detecting user activity relative to uploading of, or permitting access to one or more photos to the server, a fourth function for accessing copies of the photos before or during upload and compressing them at a pre-designated resolution suitable for printing, a fifth function for transferring the photo copies in the compressed state to the server, a sixth function for decompressing and displaying the one or more photos ahead of receipt of the photos accessed, and a seventh function for replacing the displayed photo or photos with the one or more photos upon receipt thereof.
