Text to images

In the "Object settings" of an image there is a "Text" -tab. The "Object settings" will be displayed when you select an image in the "Image list/Storyboard/Timeline" via mouse click.

If you don't see "Object settings" in your current view you can open it via right-click on the image. Alternatively you can reach the "Object settings" under "View" -> "Controls".

Here you can enter text to an image and assign formatting like font, font size and font color.

The available formatting options are almost self-explaining due to their icons, and you probably know them already from word processing applications.

	Positions the text at the lower edge of the screen.
	The text will be displayed in the center of the screen.
	Positions the text at the upper edge of the screen.
	Detaches the text to be able to customize its position.
	The text will be displayed underneath the image. This also applies when the image is scaled smaller.

Enter the desired image caption into the text field. Specify font and font size. If you want colored text you can change the font color. Select the position of the text. If you want a customized text position click the

-button under "Alignment". All changes are immediately visible in "Layout designer". In the customized position the texts gets its own position frame. This way you can freely place the text anywhere on the screen.

In AquaSoft ® SlideShow you can decide if you want the text to be separately animated or to be part of the transition effect of the image it accompanies .

If you don't want a separate text animation please activate the option "Show text with image".

For text that you want to be animated you can choose from a list of pre-defined animations. Click the "Edit" -button to adjust the settings for the animation. You can also see a preview of the animation in this dialog.

You can also open this dialog by clicking on an image in the "Image list" or "Timeline" and then on "Select text animation".

Under "Fade out" you can specify if you want the text to stay visible until the end of the image duration and to be included into the transition to the next image or if the text fades out at the end of the image. The duration of the animation specifies when the fade-out is to be started.

If you set 3 seconds then the fade-out starts 3 seconds before the end of the image display.

By clicking the

-button you can save the text effect settings you just selected. They will then be stored in the "Toolbox" under "Text effects" and can be reused at any time. Saving text effects is only possible with AquaSoft SlideShow Studio.

After you finished all the adjustments you can then replay the image together with the text by clicking on

You can find all pre-defined "Text effects" in the "Toolbox" as well. Sie können diese einfach per Drag&Drop, als durch Ziehen mit gedrückter Maustaste, auf ein Bild anwenden.

As described above, you can enter and format text on the "Text" -tab in the "Object settings".
