 Animation

The way one picture changes to another:

  • Slide - a current photo will move to the side and be replaced by a new one.
  • Fade- a current photo will fade away and a new one will take its place.
  • Crossfade - a current photo will smoothly change to a new one.
  • Explosion – a current photo will be divided into many pieces, change to a new one and go back to being whole. 
  • Windmill – a current photo will be divided into four pieces, which move in different directions and reveal a new photo. 
  • Door– a current photo will be divided into four pieces, which move on sides and reveal a new photo.
  • Tils – a current photo will be divided into four pieces, which fall and reveal a new photo.

 

 Crop type

Adjust how photo fits the gallery frame:

  • Fit - a whole photo fits the gallery frame. There might be left some empty spaces in the frame.
  • Crop - a photo fits the whole gallery frame. There are no empty spaces in the frame, but some parts of the picture might get cropped.
  • Stretch - a photo gets unproporctonally streched so it fits the whole frame. There are no empty spaces in the frame and no parts of the picture get cropped.
