Basics
Smart Object
You can create the QR code as a smart object or as a regular pixel layer. The smart object consists of the background layer and the actual QR code.
QR Code
Before you can use the preset, you must first create a QR Code. For the QR Code you have seven types to choose from. You should always test the code preventively by scanning it with your phone.
| Link | HTML link to a website. |
|---|---|
| Text | Simple text. |
| Email with predefined recipient, subject and/or a message. | |
| Business Card | Business card with last name, first name, title, phone number, mobile phone, email, website, organization, address, city, zip code, state, and country. |
| Phone | Call a phone number. |
| SMS | SMS to a predefined number with predefined text. |
| WhatsApp message to a predefined number with predefined text. |
QR Code Examples
Scan the QR codes with your phone to see what they are doing.
Origin
You can set the position for the origin. Use the graphic with the corresponding anchor points. By default, the origin is in the middle of the document.
Horizontal and vertical gap
With the two sliders for the horizontal and vertical distance, you can move the QR code from its starting point defined by the graphic.
Size (with Logo)
With the slider, you can define the size of the QR Code. The slider refers to the pixel or percent value active in the unit. Percent refers to the long edge of the current document.
Appearance Code & Background
Both the actual QR code and the background (which ensures that the code remains legible) can be designed. For the QR code, you can define either a color or a gradient.
You can also color or completely deactivate the background. Make sure that the contrast between background and QR code is always high and check the graphics before you use them. You can also set the padding between code and background and code (10% is minimum) and use round corners for the background frame.
Layer Settings
You can define the name for the layer. Click on the layer icon and set a color for the layer.
