Opening Doors...

I would use the picture of elevator as an image rather than the background. Cut out the space for the doors and then layer it correctly so that when you push the open button the doors go behind the image of the room. Can you send me your background. I will see if I get this to to work

Hmm... I don't know how to do cutouts in an image... please share your secrets! I'm attaching image file here.

THANKS!

Gina,

I don't believe the slide background fill can be used in that way.

Here is what I suggest:

1. Create a transparent cutout where the doors are (edit in photoshop or something similar) and then place it on the slide itself instead of in the background. 
2. Place metal doors you created behind this image.

I've attached a presentation with this idea as the second slide.

If you dont have Photoshop you can create the transparency by creating a shape with a solid colour over the doors, then group the image and save out as an image, bring in the new image and set the transparent colour to that of the shape.

I think i got it working somewhat like you want. Make sure you cut out the doors and make that space transparent. Then layer each item based on what should be in front and what should be in back. Dont have the room as the slide background. It needs to be up close to the front of the canvas. Have the doors behind that so they slide behind the room. On the layer duplicate the room.

Josh we were thinking along the same lines!

Great ideas! Thanks guys!
