You may even have a title in mind for your project. You can actually start this process anywhere in your project. All of the balloons and boxes you will be using to do this will be identified in the first image above, the The Main PhotoToonToolbar. * Making and placing your Title: If you know what you would like your title to be, you can start with that. It can always be changed later. When you start a project in FotoToon there will already be a tiny box for the title in a narrow band across the top of the project window. You can drag the upper left corner of the box to enlarge it (look for the cursor arrow to change to a thinner double headed arrow). You can also move it around in the band across the top. Click on the box and type all or part of your title. Then you can change the type style and size using the pull downs in the Text Pulldown menu (see 11e and 11f in the picture above). Experiment until you find a style and size you like. You can also change the color of the type. Don't worry if it isn't perfect, you can always come back later and change it. Notice that you can erase part of the text by backspacing over it. @@ -130,16 +130,16 @@ If you have planned well with your storyboard, you will have a pretty good idea In this image you can see that we selected bold, a red color from the color palette, a type size of 48, and the Font "Georgia". -* Adding Text Balloons: You can place the text balloons wherever you like within a pane.
