You can adjust the pictures and text boxes’ order by moving them up and down or even removing them by clicking inside the check box and clicking the Up, Down, and Remove buttons below the Pictures in Album display box. Under the Preview box, you can alter the Angle of Rotation, Contrast, and Brightness of the displayed picture.

In the Picture Options area, you can choose if you want the picture to have Captions below all pictures or All pictures black and white.
