ABSTRACT:
A method and system for previewing transition effects between pairs of images is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a transition effect previewing program ("the previewing program") enables a user to preview a transition effect assigned to a pair of images within a presentation. The previewing program first displays in a display area both the source image and the target image. When the previewing program receives a previewing instruction from the user, the previewing program displays the source image in a preview position in the display area. The previewing program then applies the assigned transition effect to the source image displayed in the preview position in the preview area. In a further improved embodiment, the preview position corresponds to the position in which the target image is first displayed. In yet further preferred embodiments, the user may issue a previewing instruction by assigning a transition effect to a pair of images, or by selecting a transition effect indicator displayed in conjunction with a pair of images to which a transition effect has already been assigned.
