Enable us to move images to the location of our choice on the slide. Also, allow us to stack or overlap images on top of one another.
Currently, you have limited control over where an image is placed on the screen. For example, I was attempting to place our company logo in the lower right side of the screen, but could not do this. I would also like to be able to add an image on top of another image. For example, I might like to have a check mark appear over another image at a certain point during the narration.

Make image and text placement more like the old Adobe Pagemaker (now Adobe InDesign), where you draw a placeholder and then insert content and adjust parameters. Starting with all the restrictions, then having to try to make it work with your layout is very time consuming to get the desired results. That way we can overlap, adjust size or proportions, etc. easily. I understand you want to use a built in dynamic layout grid but that approach is tedious to get the results we are trying to achieve.

I agree that the image placement is very restrictive. It actually sucks. Not only that why do we have to adjust our image to the size of the placeholder. It would be nice the other way around. Adjust the placeholder to fit the image. The way it is now sometimes you get a lot of white space in the placeholder which you do not want, but because you cannot adjust the height or width of the placeholder the white space will always be there. Padding does not work to get rid of the white space.

The option to add company logo in the Header/Footer and adjusting image padding are now available with Captivate 12.5, which shall be tentatively released by the end of this month. If you’re interested in early access, you may download the setup from below URL and see if this version meets your requirements:

The overlap workflow can possibly be achieved by utilizing the image state option. About the option to freely adjust the image position, could you please share more use cases for a better understanding? The use case about moving the company logo in the lower right side of the screen can be achieved by inserting an image block, and adjusting the padding options under "Alignment and Spacing". It would help if you could share a screen capture of the final results you're expecting.

I agree with the placement of the location! If you are looking for a way for a check mark to appear, you can work around this by creating the image in something like canva for photoshop, and then creating it as an image state.
