Inserting images into existing slides is one of the many possibilities offered by Captivate. Another nice feature is the ability to create a new slide with an image as the background. In this project, you don't need to use this feature because all the slide layouts you need are included in the theme that you applied to your project earlier in this chapter.
But if you want to use an image as the background of a slide, here is the general process:
- Use an external image editing application (such as Adobe Photoshop) to prepare an image with the same size as your project.
- Use the Insert | Image Slide menu item and select an image on your computer.
- A new slide is inserted after the selected slide. This new slide uses your picture as its background.
Even though the use of themes and Master Slides is a much better way of creating reusable slide layouts, the ability to create a new slide based on an image is a nice little feature of Captivate that is worth mentioning...
