New in Rise 360: More Course Customization with Themes

Again have i missed something? The images that i add to the placeholders doesnt resize. or offer me an option to do so..
If this is the case, the placeholders have less functions then powerpoint...image placeholders...

To work with this new feature it would then be great to provide a list of image sizes and ratios that will work in the various image placeholders. That way we can prepare the images before uploading and maybe just do some minor adjustments. Also if you could provide PSD templates for this that would be good.

Even better / obvious would be to have the options of resizing in the placeholder edit.. in the image handing in rise. Cropping only goes so far..
It would be great if the placeholders could shift background color so that images that are created for the purpose of being used in these placeholders can either use transparency or the preset background color of choice.

But all this currently missing? functionality, boil down to that the whole point of Rise ease of use went out the window with this release. Much more image preparation to do on desktop/adobe photoshop etc..  to get it right, for each template!. And as i see it, there is really no need to have that issue with todays modern web image editing basic toolbox that could be integrated. i was really happy when cropping was introduced. I expected that image editing trend to continue.

Maybe these world class designers didn't think this far in the first release, but i sure hope they rethink a lot of things for version2.

Im not sure i can motivate to stick by to see this topic progress over the course of years like in many other e-learning hygienic factor topics in the forum.

But i look forward to the next update what ever it might be, Whenever it might be.
Articulate decision making process have proven their releases can surprise even someone with 25+ years in the e-learning consultant and corporate training business. That in it self is not easy.
