You add still images to your show in the same way as other media types. Drag and drop the
image from the Media library to the Action window or Timeline. You can adjust the default
length of time a still image is displayed in your show by changing the Default Picture
Duration in the Application Settings. The original default is 5 seconds.
Visual Communicator allows you to make common adjustments to images that you import
into your show. These include adjusting the image orientation, cropping, and scaling. These
adjustments make it easy to use images from a variety of sources, including your digital
camera, without needing to edit them first in a separate image-editing application.
