Photo Template Question

Hi! I used the photo template to create my iweb web site. In doing so, I placed my own pictures on top of the template photos in some cases. Then I hyperlinked my pictures to files. Click the picture and a file downloads. This is good, but when I access my web site and while my pictures are downloading, the template photos are displayed until my pictures cover them when downloads are done. Question - How can I remove the template photos? Please advise, and thanks.

Is downloading a file hyperlinked to a photo your intended purpose? If so, then you might be better off not using the photo template. But I understand if you like the look of the photo template. If you want to continue using the template, then instead of using your photo to "cover" the template photo, go ahead and drag your photo over the template photo and hover until you see your cursor turn to a "+" sign. Then let go and your photo will replace the template photo. Since you cannot apply a hyperlink to a file download to the template, you will then need to insert a rectangle shape...make it the same size as the photo...and then lay it on top of the photo. Open up the Inspector and use the Hyperlink tab to attach the hyperlink to file to this shape. Then click over to the graphics tab and adjust the opacity of the rectangle shape to 1% to let your template photo show through. This should replicate the function that you currently have but replace the template photos with your own.
