How to Scroll Large Image

Apr 19, 2017

Hello guys,

My problem is I have a large, portrait sized image in a slide, with small text that needs to be legible to the user. I put a zoom button on the base layer, that opens a second layer.
However, the image, even occupying the whole layer, is still too small because of the portrait orientation. I can´t figure out how to scroll the page up and down, so it could occupy the whole width of the slide. Tried the scroll panel, but it seems it only works with text.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Marcos, the scroll panel will work with images as well as text. It can be tricky to get it to work correctly sometimes. And you can't make it scroll both up and down and left and right. I've attached an example a large image in a scroll panel.

Daniel, thank you.
But how were you able to insert the picture?
All I get is a frame and there is no command or button to add an image to it.

After you set up your scrolling area box, drag & drop your picture on top of it. You should have already put the picture in the stage space before you drop it in. You can then select the part of the image you see that's inside of the scrolling area. Then use the arrow keys to move it around while inside of it.
