Text intro

[Marion]

I can add text to a picture but how would I make a black background with text for an intro to my slideshow.

Thanks in advance,

Marion

I always prepare my titles in Photoshop, then they are not affected by any differences in computers on which they are shown. However I am presuming that you wish to do this within PTE.

First of all you need to load any image as your first slide. Then just below the Slide List box where it says "Show Image" delete the small arrow in the box on the left by clicking on it. If you now click on the image for a preview you find you now have a black image. You can now enter your title information using the Comment facility immediately below "Show Image" and clicking on the icon at the end of the line. Then finally refine it in Project Options>Comments

Ronwill,

Thank you, that is just what I needed. I also use photoshop but wanted a way to put some quick text in a slideshow.

Thanks again for the help,

Marion,

The key to doing this is to make sure you use a common font. That way, your text doesn't come out looking real strange on a system that doesn't have a unique font that might be used.

I too use Photoshop for most slides, but sometimes do this for a real quicky slideshow.

Good luck.
