Design a Simple Presentation

  1. Create a new image group or open an existing Image Group.

  2. Select Group from the main menu options in the Group Workspace and then select Create Presentation.

The Image Workspace window will open with the Presentation Editor open in the left side of the Image Workspace. All of the images in the Group will appear in the Presentation Editor window.  The number in the lower left corner of each image indicates the display order of the images in the presentation.

3. Arrange an order for the images in the presentation.

 

a)   Select the image to move by clicking on it in the Presentation Editor (when an image is selected, it will highlight with a white border).

Note:  Positioning of images on the screen may vary slightly if the display resolution used for creating a presentation is different than the display resolution used for showing a presentation.  Insight will dynamically resize images to approximate a different display resolution screen used for playback.  But if the resolution of a projector or screen for playback is known, it is best to create the presentation at the same resolution at which it will be shown.
