Annotation Dialog
The annotation dialog is a very complicated but powerful
dialog. It can output simple text, paragraphs of text, thought
bubbles, and place random images.
The annotation dialog is shown below. The first thing
you must do is decide if you want to add text or images.
Selecting the add text button will cause the following
dialog to pop up:
This is the dialog for creating complex text. It allows
you to specify just about every font option including font type,
color, size, bold, and italic. It also supports three effects:
outline, drop shadow, and glow.
The edit text control lets you enter multiple lines
of text that can be justified using the Justify Text selector.
Once you have entered text in the text window you
may preview the effect of the various dialog boxes in the preview
window. For example if we wanted red text with a black outline
and a gold glow, all? in a Calligrapher font, these would be
the settings
Often text is displayed in a box, or in what is called
a thought bubble. Green Screen Wizard Pro allows you to enter
any kind of background for the text. If the background is neutral
in color, then Green Screen Wizard Pro can change the color of
that background to any color you like. You can also apply effects
like drop shadow and glowing to the background. Because backgrounds
can have irregular shapes, Green Screen Wizard Pro does not automatically
place the text in the background for you. It has to be dragged
to the correct location in the background. This dialog shows
speech bubble and the text that should be displayed in it. As
you can see the speech bubble is too small for the text. We can
fix that by using the sliders to change the size of the speech
bubble. Once we have the bubble the proper size, we can use the
mouse to drag the text into the proper position.
We then leave this dialog and return to the main text
window. As you can see a large blue square indicates where the
text will be placed in the image. We can move the text by dragging
the square with the mouse. The first picture shows the original
position of the text and the second, after we’ve dragged
it to where we want it.

Let’s add another text item, the text “Pro
Version 4.0.” When we return
to the dialog we see that we still only have one blue box. The
blue box that is showing is the selected text in the select text
control. If we use our mouse to select the other line, then the
blue box will indicate the position of that text. To edit the
text simply click the edit button and the text that is highlighted
will be placed back into the text dialog. We can then change
the text or text properties. We may also delete the text by clicking
the delete button.
The image button is a simplified version of the text
dialog. It allows you to place an image randomly on the page.
You may place a few flowers in strategic positions or perhaps
a little hat on a baby. There is no limit to what you can do
using this feature.
Notice how the image is placed in front of the girl.
If we change the layer to be placed on the background the image
will go behind the girl.
