Use the Settings menu to select how to apply property changes in the project. To apply all your 
changes, select Apply only changed properties. To apply all image settings, select Apply all 
properties. You can apply the image settings to the current slide only or to all slides.

Note: If you change the settings in this dialog box, they become the default settings and any new 
images you create use the new settings.

Click OK.

Tip: You can create a watermark image using a transparency trick. Just insert an image and set the 
transparency to 50%. This works very well with many company logos.

Adding rollover images

Rollover images are unique. They consist of an image and a rollover area (the “hot” area). Rollover 
images appear when the end user moves the mouse over the hot area at runtime. They are useful 
for heavily detailed slides or for slides that contain buttons or toolbars that require explanation.

You can use the same type of graphics for rollover images that you use for traditional images. You 
can also customize the location, outline, and size of the rollover area for rollover images. 

To add a rollover image:

1.

Open an Adobe Captivate project.

2.

In Storyboard view, double-click the slide to which you want to add a rollover image.

3.

From the Insert menu, select Rollover Image. 

The Open dialog box appears.

4.

Select an image from the list or browse to a new location for a different image. Click Open. 

The New Rollover Image dialog box appears. 

5.

(Optional) You might be asked if you want to crop or rescale the image.

Crop

  This option centers the image and crops the edges of the image that do not fit into the 

capture size area.

Rescale

  This option resizes the image to provide a good-quality resized image that fits the 

capture size area.

The image is added to the project.
