Creating Projects

Create a project from images
Projects created from images can be viewed as a slideshow. Each image is imported into a separate slide.
1 Select File > New Project > Image Slideshow.
2 In the New Image Slideshow dialog box, set the dimensions of the project.
3 Click OK, and select the images that you want to add to your project.
4 If the Resize/Crop image dialog box appears, set the following options:
Note: You see the Crop/Resize dialog box only when an image exceeds the height or width limits of the project. If you
are inserting more than one slide, only those images that exceed the dimension limits are displayed in the dialog box.
Fit To Stage Resizes the image to fit the dimensions of the slide.
Crop Displays a bounding box with dimensions corresponding to that of the project. Resize the handles of the box
to select the area that you want displayed on the slide. If you selected Constrain Proportions, Adobe Captivate
maintains the height-to-width ratio of the bounding box.
Zoom You can zoom in and zoom out of the image by moving the slider. Alternatively, you can choose from a list
of standard zoom sizes from the menu.
Constrain Proportions Maintains the height-to-width ratio of the bounding box used to crop the image. This
option is enabled only when you choose to crop the image. When you disable this option, resize the bounding box,
and enable the option again; the new dimensions are used thereafter to calculate the ratio.
In addition to the above options, you can also set tone controls (brightness, sharpness, and contrast) and adjust
color ranges (alpha, hue, and saturation). You can also flip or rotate the image.

Create a project starting with blank slides
You can start with a blank project, and then import slides or images from PowerPoint presentations, images, or other
Adobe Captivate projects. You can also add a software demonstration, or interactive simulation by recording
additional slides.
1 Select File > New Project > Blank Project.
2 Select a preset size in the Select list, or specify a custom width and height for the project.
3 Click OK.

Create template-based projects
Adobe Captivate templates allow you to improve consistency across similar projects or modules of a project and
reduce the effort required to create new projects.
