Adobe Captivate 3: Creating Image Transparencies and Watermarks

While Captivate is not an image editing program like Adobe PhotoShop, you can apply simple effects to an imported image such as a fill transparency and add a watermark effect.
 
Apply a Transparency to an Image
  1. Open or create a Captivate project and insert an image on any slide
  2. Double-click the image to display the Image Properties dialog box
  3. On the Image tab, change the Transparency to something like 50

    Image Transparency

  4. Click OK
The image appears faded. This is a great technique for creating watermarks out of any image. Perhaps you'd like a faded image to appear in the same location on every slide for an entire project. During the next steps you will learn how.
 
Reuse an Image for the Rest of the Project 
 
  1. Double-click the same image you edited a moment ago to display the Properties dialog box again
  2. Select the Options tab
  3. Select rest of project from the Display for area

    Display for Rest of Project

  4. Click OK

  5. Press [F10] on your keyboard to Preview the next few slides

    As the five slides play, notice that the image appears in the exact location on every slide.
