Operation in Playback Screen

When enjoying an album, you can not only view the photos in the album but also listen to any background music or recorded narration attached to the album, pages and photos.

The control bar will be displayed when you move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.

Click on the Preferences button to arouse a dialog box for setting the playback options.

The page control buttons can locate the page you want. If you press and hold the left mouse button on the Previous Page or Next Page button for a while, the page number field at the right will keep on counting until you have reached the page you want and released the mouse button. Therefore you can select to display a specific page immediately without displaying the pages in-between. Click on the Play/Stop button to start or stop playing the pages.

The Print button allows you to print the current page immediately with normal resolution. Clicking the Set Wall Paper button sets the current page as Windows desktop background.

The Quit button allows you to exit the playback program.

When you place the mouse pointer on a photo in the album page, if the pointer changes to the shape of a speaker, it means there is a sound file attached to the photo. Click the right mouse button to play it. If the pointer changes to the shape of linking rings, that means the photo is linked to a specific page. Click the left mouse button to go to the specific page. If the pointer contains both the speaker and the linking rings, you may select to click the left or right mouse button as desired.

The annotation for each photo will be displayed in a pop-up balloon if you move the mouse pointer into the photo and stay awhile.
