Screenbook Maker has another viewing mode besides showing screenbooks in the browser window (in the right pane of the main window). You can choose to view the screenshots one by one, with the associated text in a floating window. This mode is useful for classroom presentations, where you are using large screenshots.

This is screenshot slide view. This screenshot was taken at 1020 x 768 and then resized to the standard tutorial image size of 640 x 480, so the image is not as sharp as other images in this bookshelf. You can seen that in screenshot slide view, the screenshot appears on a black background, and then below it, in a separate floating window, the associated text appears. You can use the arrows in the floating window to navigate from page to page. Also, left clicking on the image advances the page by one, and right clicking goes back one page.

Having a screenshot appear with a lot of black space around it may not be terribly useful. However, if your screenshot takes up the whole screen, screenshot slide view can allow you to show the entire screenshot and the text without scrolling.
Since Screenbook Maker automatically reduces all screenshots to 640 x 480, this would still not seem to be a useful feature. However, you can tell Screenbook Maker to save a second, unreduced image. Screenbook Maker will still create a reduced image for the standard screenbooks, so that they can be easily viewed on the web. But it will use the unreduced image for the screenshot slideview and for printing. The next pages in this tutorial show how to tell Screenbook Maker to save a high resolution (unreduced) image.

Saving a high resolution image is a Bookshelf option. It must be selected or deselected for all of the screenbooks in a particular bookshelf. If you want only some screenbooks in a given bookshelf to have high resolution images saved, create a second bookshelf and move the screenbooks into it. (Bookshelves are explained later in this tutorial series).

Check the indicated box to cause Screenbook Maker to save an extra high resolution image. This image will be used for printing and for screenshot slide view. It will not be sent to the web when uploading a screenbook.

Any screenshots you add to the bookshelf which you just modified will now be saved both in reduced and unreduced form. The full size screenshots will take up the whole screen in screeshot slide view, and you can use the floating text box to navigate from one page to another.
