There are several ways to alter the size and position of the foreground image:
• Drag the image within the Viewer Window — When using Resize or Key
Shape, the mouse cursor changes to a hand. Holding the left mouse button
down grabs the image and allows you to move it left, right, up, or down. You
can also change its position on the Z-Axis by holding down the
Ctrl key
while dragging up and down. Finally, holding down the Alt key locks the
mouse movement to the X-Axis or the Y-Axis, depending on the direction
you move the mouse was after pressing the Alt key.
• Use the joystick — From the Effects and Options tabs, you can move the
foreground image along the X- and Y-Axes by clicking the joystick and
moving it in any direction. The joystick’s primary purpose is to position the
foreground image outside the viewing area.
• Move the resize slider — You can change the image size (the Z-Axis) by
moving the resize slider up to enlarge the image and down to make it smaller.
• Adjust the dials — You can use the resize and key shape parameter dials to
change for X-, Y-, and Z-Axis positions, and X- and Y-Aspect changes.
To adjust a dial, click the dial and drag right to increase the value or drag left
to decrease the value. Double-click a dial to reset it to 0.
