Quicker way for sending images to slide background?

Hi Alex:

There are a number of ways you can approach this requirement, however, I would suggest using one of the following approaches:

1. Create a number of layers to serve as the "pseudo-background" for when you click on an image or a slide object on the Base Layer.

2. Use a trigger to show/display the desired layer for the image(s) in question.

As to how you transition from a regular image to a background, you can change the size and/or coordinates of the image (I'd suggest making it full-screen size, at coordinates 0,0), plus considering the use of fade-out effects in Photoshop to make things look like they are somewhat deprecated relative to other primary image(s) or object(s) you may wish to focus on.

1a. Instead of layers, you could also potentially connect the triggers to different states for each image, so that when they are clicked, they transition to their new appearance.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,

-Mark

PS: Sorry if this isn't as quick as you might like, but you can always use the keyboard shortcuts of CTRL+C and CTRL+V, plus also the CTRL+ENTER and CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER shortcuts to make the process of building these elements easier.
