Newbie question!

[Photosbyjamie]

I just put together a very quick slideshow just for fun. I'd like to add a title...is there a tutorial or somewhere I could look to find instructions on how to add a title screen?

Thanks!

Jamie:

Most of us do the title in PhotoShop and use it as one of the slides

A quick way to get a title is to add a second copy of your first image, select it then click the Object Editor button that appears under the preview.

In the window that opens, choose the third button from the left (at the top of the screen - text).

A box appears with the word text repeated several times in it. Double-click this and a dialogue box appears in which you can type and format your title. When you leave this box, you can drag your text into position. A double-click on this, reopens the text box for further editing.

A click on the preview button will confirm that the text is there.

Should you prefer the text by itself, simply untick the box under the larger preview image - labelled show image.

A nice effect is to duplicate the title frame you've made, turning off the picture for the first one.

In the long run, you'll find that a separate image editor like photoshop offers many more options, though.

Jamie,

Some titles are just basic and some are very sophisticated! I make CD tutorials and have one for making a 'title sequence' using Photoshop. You might be interested. email me at the following:-
