fading in photos

[rikkoshea]

Hi, I haven't tried to fade in (or out) photos before but I'm sure that it's a common and basic technique? Am using WD11P and looking for a simple method of fading in photos (jpg files), not necessarily a slide show but single images, thanks, Rikko

Rikko, I don't have pro but I did this for you in version 11
I think you need to do the fading as an animation, swf if you want it to fade gradually.
Am enclosing a sef as well as the xar so you can see what I did.
Hope this helps.

I use DPX11 but the reveal options should be available in WD11P too. (Right click, Web Animation, Reveal tab).

Oops, I missed the fact that he was using web designer. Sorry.

Many thanks for the suggestions, Siran's idea to use the Reveal tab seems ok, after I work out the finer adjustments...

To fade out, add a rectangle the same size as the photo and the same color as the background and have it fade on after say 3-6 seconds.
