180 8. Layers

Layer Settings

When you add a new layer, you should always start with the Layer Settings
and define the basic information about your layer. Let's take a look at the
available options.

Layer Name and Notes

In Slide Options, to the right of the Preview you'll see the information
about the selected layer. Here you find a thumbnail preview to help you
quickly identify which layer is which.

Above the thumbnail preview you'll
see the Layer Name displayed along
with the file name and type used in
the layer.

The Layer Name can be changed at
any time to help you organize the
slide. To change the name of your
layer, click Rename located just
below the slide name.

Beneath the thumbnail preview you'll also see three additional options,
browse, editor and info. Use these tools to change the content that
appears in the layer, open an external editing program to modify the
content, or click info to view the content properties (resolution, size, type,
location etc.).

Just below the Preview, you find the Notes area. Use this area to help stay
organized while making your show. Any notes you type to yourself about
the layer will not be seen by anyone watching your show. The Notes are
there simply to give you a place to type any information about the layer
that may help you while you’re making the slide. If you need to take a
break or revisit a show later on, Notes are also a great way to mark any
layers in your show that still need work or require special care.
