PLACEHOLDER_ALT Ken Burns Focal Point View

This view is only used when employing the Ken Burns effects, such as "Cropped to fill screen" or "Random sizing," in your slideshows. It allows you to designate focal points within your images or layouts—like a person's eyes or head—to ensure they remain the main feature when these effects are applied.

  • In the Focal Point view, all items in the slideshow, including those in Album Sets, are displayed with a target box marking the current focal point. You can freely adjust this focal point within any image’s boundaries by dragging it.
  • For room views, the focal point is automatically aligned with the default image location you've set for each room, and for book layouts, it defaults to the center of the spread.
  • All focal point settings are stored within your Album file, preserving your adjustments for future use.

You can adjust the focal point simultaneously across multiple similar images.

  1. Select the images using the Shift key or CmdCtrl + Click to select multiple images.
  2. While holding down the Shift key, drag the target on one thumbnail; this will move the focal point on all selected thumbnails in unison.
