Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.

faqs

1. Can I fade in a picture for example and zoom to it at the same time (so I dont have to “click” twice)?

* I’m afraid currently it is not possible to play two different types of animations at once.You can fade in multiple objects simultaneously but you either have to fade in and zoom to a picture (or the other way around) in two separate steps.

2. Is it possible to get a discount or free account if I have a student email (also known as .edu email) ?

*Absolutely, with a .edu email address you can sign up for the free Edu Standard license or get the Edu Plus license for the price of the normal Standard license.

3. Am ı be able to use, individual plus program on several devices simultaneously? Be glad if you can inform me, thanks in advance.

* You can install and use the desktop application on three separate devices with a Plus subscription, but you are able to log in and edit online from anywhere and from any computer.
