Operation Manual

• Border color well: Change an individual image’s border color by clicking the color well
and then selecting a new border color from the Colors window. You can also click the
disclosure button (to the right of the color well) and select a new border color from
the pop-up color palette.
• Inset checkbox and value slider: Select the checkbox to apply padding between a specific
image and the image border, and adjust the width of the padding using the Inset value
slider. A value of 0 (zero) applies no space between the image and the border.
• Crop checkbox and pop-up menu: Select this checkbox and choose an option from the
pop-up menu to have the selected image fit within the frame of the slideshow’s aspect
ratio, have the image fill the frame of the slideshow’s aspect ratio, or apply a Ken Burns
effect. A Ken Burns effect zooms in to or out of the image and then slowly pans across
it.
• Edit button: Click this button to adjust the image based on the setting in the Crop
pop-up menu. When you click the Edit button, you can adjust how the image fits the
frame, choose the part of the image that fills the frame, or activate Start and End
wireframes for the Ken Burns effect. You use the Start and End wireframes to set where
the panning for the Ken Burns effect begins and ends in the image.
For more information about creating custom Ken Burns effects, see Applying a Ken
Burns Effect to Individual Slides.

direction, set the direction of the effect using these buttons.

size to apply to the text.
