Adding Episode Artwork
You can add episode artwork to the podcast track. When you play the podcast in
iTunes or view it in iWeb, the episode artwork is visible whenever there is no marker
region with its own artwork.
To add episode artwork:
1 In the Media Browser, locate the artwork you want to add.
2 Drag the artwork from the Media Browser to the Episode Artwork well in the editor.
The episode artwork appears in the Episode Artwork well. When you play the podcast,
the episode artwork appears when there is no marker region with artwork.
Editing Artwork
You can resize and crop both marker region and episode artwork. In the image editor,
you can resize and crop your artwork to show all or part of the original image.
To edit artwork:
1 Double-click artwork in either the Episode Artwork well or the marker list.
The image editor opens, showing the artwork.
2 Drag the size slider to resize the artwork as large or small as you want. The black square
shows what part of the artwork will be displayed when you play the podcast.
3 Drag the artwork so that the part you want to display is within the borders of the
square.
4 You can replace the artwork by dragging a new image to the image editor.
5 When you are finished, click Set.
