Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

   Make sure you are dragging the image directly over the frame and not next to it. Wait for it to "snap" before releasing.

2. Accidentally Moving the Frame Instead of Image
   Be careful when adjusting. Double-click to move the image inside the frame rather than dragging the entire frame.

3. Using Incorrect Frame Size for Layout
   Choose frame sizes that match your overall layout. Oversized or small frames can disrupt your design flow.

4. Applying Filters to the Whole Design Instead of Image
   Select only the image inside the frame before adding filters or adjustments.

5. Overcrowding With Too Many Frames
   Too many different frames can make your design look cluttered. Keep it minimal for a clean appearance.
