After you have created the bulk of your characters and added text or thought and speech bubbles, you can move on to manipulate your cartoon or add extra things like props. The props tab contains random items like a stool, a pizza, a barn, or a mushroom cloud. These props can be added to move your story along. Props are added just like the characters and actions, by simply dragging and dropping a desired prop onto your slide. You can resize the prop just like the other elements by dragging the handles inward or outward. You may notice that your slide is getting rather crowded and you might wish to rearrange your elements in layers. You can do this by clicking on your item so it is selected and then going to the arrange tool in the tool bar. When you click on arrange an drop down list of options appears and you can choose to move your item to the back or the front of the layers of items on your slide. Another feature effect you can use is to change your slide from a day scene into a night scene by clicking on the background mood tab in the tool bar. You can also change the mood of your character by selecting the character and then choosing from the character moods tool out of a list of happy, sad, normal, or angry. You can also change the opacity of any object or character by selecting that object and clicking on the opacity tool in the objects palette. You can set the opacity to various levels ranging from ten percent to one hundred percent.
