Customizing Your Slide Show
The image show program always starts with the thumbnail viewer panel closed. To slide it open, you must have chosen a
Shoot-Out year 200 or later. You can click the “Edit” button or choose a slide layout from the “Load Slides” menu. To add
a new slide, choose the slide from the menu on the large slide in the upper left. Holding down the left mouse button while
over the large slide in the upper left corner will display the list of included images. Move up and down the list to stop on
and select the desired image. You will see the slide change to display the slide you have chosen. You may then grab the
slide and drag it to the layout. Place the slide in an empty slot, or place it over an existing slide, and the slides will move
over to make room. You may add any number of the same image to the slide layout any number of times.
You can drag a slide or a group of slides within the layout. To select a slide, click on it. Click on the same slide to deselect.
Hold down the shift key and click to select a group of slides. Control-A (Command-A for Mac) will select all slides in the
layout. You may then move any selected slides by clicking and dragging in the layout. Releasing dragged slides outside
of the layout will delete them from your intended show routine, not from your computer hard drive. You may also delete
selected slides from the layout by pressing the Delete or Backspace key, or pressing the “Delete” button below the layout.
The remaining slides will shift to fill the empty space. You may undo any changes by either using Control-Z (Command-Z
for Mac) or clicking the “Undo” button below the layout. To save the current layout, click the “Save List” button at the top
of the layout. You may then delete old saves, or type in a unique name for a new save.
Here within the slide show editor you may insert your “business card” slide by locating it at the bottom of the image list
while holding down the mouse button over the large slide in the upper left corner of the interface. Your slide will occur at
the bottom of the list. Move down to it and release the mouse button. It should then appear as the large slide if you have
created a business card slide. For details on how to create your business card slide, see that section a little farther down
in this User Guide.
Pop-Up Text
The “Pop-Up” is a feature created and operational in the 200 Shoot-Out release, Volume .0, and .5 software releases.
This Volume 2.0 release does NOT make use of the feature. The original intent of the pop-up feature was to provide
tutorial support for use of selected images…particularly the test patterns. For in-depth help with using the test
patterns, refer to the test patterns section later in this User Guide and in the Tutorials embedded within the computer-based
Shoot-Out image show.
Operation of the Pop-Up overlay for Volume 1.0 and 1.5 is as follows:
The Pop-Up provides tutorial text upon selected images in the Shoot-Out imagery group. This text highlights
special features and/or points of interest for use of the image in the display evaluation process. This text may be
enabled for all images or for selected images. To use the pop-up text, you must click on the “Edit” button in the
main screen menu. This will open the image editor. At the top of the image editor is the button “All Pop-ups”. If
you wish to enable all the pop-ups available for the slide show, click this button. You will immediately see that it
