This seems like a pretty basic feature but it occurred I’m not sure how to do it. Didn’t a stack like Foundry come with a rollover feature?
Hey @KipV,
Foundry 2 comes with the Hover Image stack, which allows you to super impose marked up text over an image, which only shows when a visitor moves his mouse over an image.
Is that what you mean?

It is not exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to find more of a basic image swap stack. So instead of having an overlay coming over the image and a bar of text at the bottom the whole image would leave when you roll over it and a completely different image would come in to replace it.
Hello @KipV ,
When I read it at noon today, I immediately thought of the simply and cleverly designed F2 stack > hoover. Now that you’ve described it in more detail, try the SectionPro stack from BWD.
Within the historical F2 cosmos, you will not find the “image against image” function without CSS.

Ah, ok.
You could do that with Overlap and Reveal Pro if you have the Foundry expansion pack it came in.
Put the base image at the bottom of Overlap, and drag Reveal Pro on top of that. Set Reveal Pro to trigger on “Hover” and drop in an image stack containing the other image.
This is a rather clunky solution, with quite a lot of code generated for this simple trick, but it does work.
Cheers,
Erwin
It looks like the closest thing to what I’m trying to do is the “Custom Hover Captions” that is mentioned at the bottom of the page. It goes from the zoomed out picture to a tight crop of the same photo. In my case it would be the exact same image at the same zoom level except be in a slightly different color to keep the effect really subtle. If it can do that that would be worth checking out.
Yeah that is a lot to do! I probably want to keep the code pretty clean. It will be a very short page so maybe it doesn’t matter all that much. Maybe I’ll try Sections Pro first and if that doesn’t work I’ll use this strategy.

…same image, just a different color…? There must be another trick – with a tint overlay…? I’m not sure if it was F2 or F3 – I’ll check this afternoon.
Thanks for doing that. This is a functionality that goes back to really early web design. Dreamweaver had it, Flash, Director. It almost seems like it would just be a standard feature in Foundry?
…as often - very easy;-) Give »Backdrop« a chance!

Backdrop from Foundry or 1LD? I wasn’t aware those tools had rollover capability.
Hi Kip - yes, it is F2 and the operation is quite simple;-) As ever from Adrian…
Good luck.

I think you mean Alex, who built Foundry (under the name Elixir Graphics).
Adrian is the person behind Vibralogix.

haha - we both were wrong - his name is Adam;-)

I knew that, I was just testing you.
(no, I admit it - I was wrong. ;))
