 +====== Media > Morph Images ======
  
 +This [[pagetypes|page]] allows an initial image to fade out as a second image fades in.  This can be done to;
 +
 +  * create the impression of zooming in, as the demo below illustrates
 +  * or to create a kind of "before and after" effect.
 +
 +To create a zoom-in effect, you create a Zoom Region on the initial image; for the "before and after" effect the Zoom Region might be the __whole __of the initial image.
 +
 +
 +===== Example demo =====

 +
 +

 +
 +^ Property ^ Description ^ Type ^ Additional information ^
 +| Zoom Button Label | Text on the button which initiates the transition to the second image. | Text | Default - "Zoom"   You will need to change this if you want, for example, a "before and after" effect, with no zoom.  |
 +
 +==== Zoom Region ====
 +
 +If you want to create a zoom-in effect, you need to identify the region of the initial image to zoom in on.  In the Project structure click on the + icon next to your Morph Images page.
 +
 +{{ :xerte-media-morphimages-zoomregion.jpg?250 }}
 +
 +This will reveal the Zoom Region "nested page". Click on it to edit.
 +
 +{{ :xerte-media-morphimages-zoomregion2.jpg?250 }}
 +
 +^ Property ^ Description ^ Type ^ Additional information ^
 +| Zoom Region Label | This is just a label which appears in the project structure in the authoring programme. It is not visible to learners. | Text |   |
 +| Edit Hotspot. | This is used to create the zoom region. Click on the thumbnail to open the Hotspot Editor. | Link to Hotspot Editor |   |
 +
 +There is only one Optional Property, which allows you to add a Tooltip which is read aloud in screen readers.
 +
 +
 +===== Further Information =====
 +
 +If you are creating the zoom-in effect, it can be fiddly to ensure  that Image 2 and the Zoom Region match up. You will probably have to display Image 2 in another application, for comparison as you edit the Hotspot, and adjust the borders accordingly.
