		<h1>Autoflowing Images into a Template</h1>
		<p>You can use Autoflow to quickly fill a comic with images. You can autoflow with templates or panel layouts.</p>
		<p>To autoflow images into a template:</p>
		<ol>
    		<li>Create a new comic by choosing a template.</li>
    		<li>In the Photo Browser, choose an iPhoto album (in the iPhoto tab) or folder of images (in the Finder tab) to use as a source of images.</li>
    		<li>Select File->Autoflow Images to fill the comic with the images. As pages are filled with images, new pages are randomly selected from the template (except for the first page of the template, which is typically a cover page).</li>
    		<li>Once all the images have been added, the process finishes and the new pages are revealed.</li>
        </ol>
		<p>You can now continue to add balloons and captions to complete your project.</p>
		<p>To autoflow images into using page layouts:</p>
		<ol>
		<li>Create a new blank document.</li>
		<li>Click the Panel Layout tab and choose the layout collection you'd like to use.</li>
    		<li>In the Photo Browser, choose an iPhoto album (in the iPhoto tab) or folder of images (in the Finder tab) to use as a source of images.</li>
		<li>Select File->Autoflow images to fill the comic. New pages with randomly chosen panel layouts from the collection you selected are used.</li>
    		<li>Once all the images have been added the process finishes and the new pages are revealed.</li>
		</ol>
		<p><b>Note:</b> If you choose photo source with more than 100 images you'll be asked to confirm your selection. This is to prevent accidental selection of a collection with thousands of photos!</p>
