In [the previous news](https://www.mergado.com/better-image-advertising-with-feed-image-editor-1) from [Feed Image Editor](https://store.mergado.com/detail/feedimageeditor) app, we’ve introduced some handy **features**. But that’s not all. In recent months, its developers have added a few more **upgrades** to make the image advertising management more enjoyable.
## Offer products in stock
Customer decision making is significantly influenced by the fact that the goods are **in** **stock**. Create a stock query in Mergado and apply a template to it.
**Instructions:**
1\. On the *Products* page in Mergado, make **a** **query** of the products you have in stock. Just enter the **DELIVERY\_DATE** condition **is 0**.
2\. Name the query, for example, **Stock** **Products** and **save**.
3\. In the Feed Image Editor, create a New Template and **select** a product query that is created for it.
• Set the resulting product photo **format**.

## Preview sub-page
You **do not need to delete** templates created in the Feed Image Editor that you are not currently using. In order to **use them in the future**, the *Preview* sub-page is available in the application.
On the *Preview* sub-page, you’ll see how your ad **really** **looks** and find possible **errors**.
## Use the Overlap function
There are many ways to edit product photos in FIE. The new *Overlap* feature will help you create **space for additional graphics or crop the manufacturer’s logo**.
**How to crop a product photo:**
1\. In Mergado, choose the **query** of products you want to crop. **Name it and save it**.
2\. In the Feed Image Editor, create **a new template** and select the products you need.
3\. On the Format sub-page, select the resulting ad **size** and **customize** the image to the resulting format.
• To crop photos, you will work in the *Overlap* field. You specify the crop size in **pixels**.
**How to reduce your product photo:**
1\. Enter **minus** **values** to reduce your images.
2\. All your photos will be the same size and space for **graphic** **elements** will be created.

## Stand out with your own background
For advertising on comparison engines or Google Shopping, you need to have **a white background** for your photos. Facebook and Instagram allow you to **use photos with a colorful background** to distinguish yourself from the competition.
**Add custom background to product images:**
1\. In the Feed Image Editor, in the *Format* tab, select **Background** **Color**.
2\. Choose from preset colors, or enter your own code (RGB hexadecimal without #, or RGBA).
3\. You can also use your **own** **image** as your background — on the *Layers* tab, select **Image** and paste .png in the size of the resulting ad.

## Eliminate 404 error forever
404 error message means the target image **was not found**. In that case, Feed Image Editor won’t find the image — it won’t appear in your ad. If such URLs are in your feed, they need to be **rewritten as soon as possible**.
**Intructions:**
1\. In the Feed Image Editor, go to the *Products* page.
2\. Click the **Status** **Code** window.
- If you **don’t see 404: Page not found** in this window, your feed **doesn’t contain** such pages.
3\. The app will list your 404 URLs and you will know which to **change**.
## Use Custom Image Set
The functionality Custom Image Set is useful when you **repeatedly** **insert** the same themes (logo, mascot, etc.) into your photos. Uploaded graphics will be available **for each template** for that export without having to reload it.
**Instructions:**
1\. In the app, go to creating **a new template**.
2\. On the *Layers* tab, select **New** and choose **Custom** **Set** from the options.
3\. **Name** **it** and open a menu for **inserting** new images.
4\. **Upload** the selected images and save the layer.

If you give it a chance for a few days, you will learn how **useful** it is **for creating an image advertisement**.
