Hi everyone!
I've noticed how many people are asking about how to resize their images, and this is a perfect opportunity for me to talk about
Picture Editor.
We have released this feature of Little Reader for quite some time now, but I am sure that not many have explored what it can do. It is a very powerful basic image editing tool that enables you to - among other things - resize images. You can also draw arrows or encircle certain items on a photo to highlight them during playback.
So here's a step by step guide on
HOW TO RESIZE YOUR PICTURES:
1. Open Little Reader.
2. Click on the Picture Editor button.
3. On the Picture Editor, click on OPEN. Locate your file on your computer.
4. An Auto-Clone Confirmation dialogue will pop up, asking if you would like to clone your picture so your edits won't damage the original file.
* If your file is an only copy in your hard drive and you would like to preserve the original picture, click on YES.
* If your file is a copy that you simply just want to resize, and you don't want to keep the original unedited copy, click on NO.
5. With your picture now open, click on RESIZE. You can now specify how large or small you want the image to be.
* For Little Reader, we usually use 640x480 pixels. This allows us to have a reasonable sharpness of the image while maintaining minimum filesize.
6. When you're all done resizing, click on SAVE. You may now use the image you have just edited and attach it to your Little Reader
category and playlists!
And that's it!
We hope that you find it very easy to do; and when you do get to play around some more with Picture Editor, you'll find that there are so many other things that you can create with it, making your Little Reader presentations so much more fun and making lesson preparation so much more interesting!
Cheers,
Lappy
