How do I edit/modify the background of a Master Slide?

Participant ,

Greetings,

I am working with Captivate 6. In earlier versions of Captivate I could (fairly) easily copy the background of a Master Slide, paste it in Photoshop, modify it, flatten it, then copy the image from Photoshop and paste it back into the master slide I copied it from, then merge the image into the background.

In Cap 6 the process appears to be very different. Just how do I accomplish this now? Are there any articles of "How to..." documents I can look at?

Essentially, all I want to do is correct an image on the background. I don't want to add captions or other elements, merely alter a portion of the background image.

Any ideas?

Here's the reason....

I received some Captivate content from an outside company, Captivate Project file and embedded video media files.

I am processing the files for use in an LMS using a laptop with Windows 8 and Captivate 6. When I look at certain slides (generated from one of the Content Master Slides) it appears that one of the 'branding' elements (text with my company logo) is incomplete or broken up. On the Master slides they do appear broken up. In the published files they appear broken up. Not all the files, just content from 2 of the Content Master Files, other similar files are fine.

When I take those same files, Captivate Project files and media files, and copy them over to my Mac (OS X 10.10.4 and Captivate 6) and open them up, the problem areas are fine, no broken up text or images! What's with that?!? I've never seen this problem before.

I am going to publish the files locally on my Mac, copy them over to my Windows laptop and load them into the LMS and see if that works.

Please let me know if anyone has encounters anything like this in the past and knows something about it.

Thank you,

Tim Kern
