Using Images from a CD

Using Images from a CD

• Great images,
• But some potential pitfalls!

This is a photograph from a CD
3
This is a photo of a typical CD-ROM user.
Notice his high forehead (a sign of
intelligence), the anti-glare paint under his
eyes, his disdain for conventional things, and
his gaze fixed so intently on his computer.
This could be you!

This woman from the Nacirema tribe is also a
typical CD-Rom user.
Notice how she basks in the warm glow of her
computer screen on a cold winter night, draped in
her ornamented leather version of a hospital
gown (open back).

When using photographs or files from a CD-ROM
disk, be certain that the image selected is saved
with the file rather than only linked to the
file. If you do not do so, your photo/image may
not be found unless the disk is physically in
your computer.
Photo saved with file
Linked with file (no photo displayed because

You may create thumb-mail displays of images
from your CD-ROM as well as images from your
digital camera and your scanner.
However, if you overload your slide with
pictures, the program is likely to have
difficulties in presentations--it will be too
large to be transportable on standard disks, and
may take too long to load.

Special Considerations

• When adding text to a photo, there are several
  major concerns. These include
• Order (layering of images and text)
• Font color
• Text Placement

Ordering or Layering
Both images below bear the same message, but the
order differs.

Font Color
Font color is black. Font color is blue. Font
color is white. Font color is yellow. Font color
is green. Font color is red.
Note that some font colors show up better than
others, depending upon the background.
Generally, the bold text will be easier to see,
no matter what the color.

Text Placement and Color
Whats wrong (or right) about each line placed on
the image at the left? 1 is hard to read 2 is
easier to read but bi-color text takes
longer. 3 why bother with an image? 4 out of
the way but also unnoticed.
