Maybe I misunderstand layers. What I want to do is have the user click on a thumbnail and show a layer with a larger version of the image. However, when I create a new layer, the background does not look like my master template.
So basically I get the trigger right and it displays the layer, but it looks weird to have a background that will not look like the rest of the course.
do you mean you want the whole background of the layer to have the image on it? If so, layers are controlled by the View > Feedback Masters not View > Slide Masters.
See this quick example Peek. If I've misunderstood let me know.
My awesome hero. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Okay, so what I'm trying to do is:
User clicks on image (labeled #1) and #2 will display over background
Label 3 is the whole slide (background template, etc).
Basically, the user should be able to click on the object, show the second object.
I tried using states, but I did not like it. I have a small thumbnail image, my boss wanted to zoom in on, however, when I tried the zoom state the image was pixelated because it was small. I am using the cut out person as the 'large clear' image because everything has to be confidential.
I thought maybe layers would be a good use here. What perplexes me is when I duplicate the layer why won't it truly duplicate the layer, all I get is a gray background.

Or do you mean this?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Mimi
the grey is coming from the layout master background which is grey.
So you want this background to be behind the cutout? like this?
I did this by going to View > Feedback Master and creating a whole new master and duplicating the background from the View > Slide Master.
