# Inserting images as slides

You can insert existing images (BMP, GIF, or JPEG format) as slides in Captivate movies. Image slides can be useful in many types of movies, especially in overviews of a product or website. Image slides can also come in handy when you want to use an image, such as a company logo, as an introductory slide for a movie. (Example)

#### To insert an image as a slide:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Select the slide directly after the location where the new slide should appear. (For example, if you want to insert the blank slide as Slide 6 of your movie, click the slide currently labeled Slide 6.)

3. From the Insert menu, select Image Slide.

The Open dialog box appears.

4. Select an image from the list or browse to a new location for a different image. Click Open.

5. (Optional) You might be asked if you want to crop or rescale the image.

6. Crop: This option centers the image and crops the edges of the image that do not fit into the capture size area.

7. Rescale: This option resizes the image to provide a good-quality resized image that fits the capture size area.

The image slide is added to the movie.

Tip: You can also create multiple image slides at one time by holding the Shift or Control key while selecting images in the Open dialog box.
