Painted Images and Drawn Images
Wimba Create automatically converts Painted images, but not Drawn images.
Painted image
A Painted image is made up of a series of small dots like a mosaic. This type of image is used for photographs and scanned graphics. They are often saved with a .bmp, .jpg or .gif extension.
Drawn image
A Drawn image is constructed from a collection of lines, curves, rectangles and other shapes. The shapes that make up the image can be grouped and ungrouped. Autoshapes and images that you make from lines and boxes in Word are drawn images.
If you have a Drawn image in your document, you must convert it to a Painted image in order for Wimba Create to recognise it.
A simple way to do this is to:
- select the Drawn image (making sure you select all the component shapes if they are not grouped)
- from the Edit menu choose Cut
- from the Edit menu choose Paste Special...
- choose Picture (GIF) then press OK
