Hi Marty,

You certainly can use PNG's with an alpha channel in RR with no problem. While you can't shift-drag to constrain, you can write a simple handler to resize an image proportionally...or even easier is

create a button and name it "Proportionally Fit the Height to the Current Width" (I know kinda long, but that's what it does;-)

Then put the following script into the button:

on mouseUp
  put the formattedWidth of img "myImage" into tFW
  put the formattedHeight of img "myImage" into tFH
  put the width of img "myImage" into tW
  set the height of img "myImage" to tW/tFW*tFH
end mouseUp


Next resize image "myImage" to roughly the size you want and then press the button. It will automatically set the height based upon the width proportionally.


Don't forget to

set the lockLoc of img "myImage" to true

when you're done so it won't 'revert back to it's original size' on openCard.

best,

Chipp

I have an Apple Keynote presentation that I'm thinking of recreating in
Revolution so that I can customize the slide-to-slide timing and do a few
other things that keynote can't do. Can Revolution recognize a graphic image
that has an alpha mask-- to make part of an image transparent? If so, then I
could mimic the cutouts in Keynote.

Also, when you place a graphic image in Revolution is there a way to
constrain the proportions as you size the image?
