Digital Tool Tuesday: Juxtapose

What is it? JS JuxtaposeWhat does it do? Creates an embeddable “before and after” photo slider using similar pieces of mediaHow does it work? Through the website, https://juxtapose.knightlab.com/, you can create a slide following the simple instructions.Photos must already be published to a website, since you must paste in the URL.First, paste in the URL where the first image resides. Add a date (useful to the reader) and a caption.Add the “after” photo’s URL, type in the date and a caption.Click on preview to make sure your slider works.Then, click on publish.That action will get you an embed code that you can use in your story. Tips

• The photos cannot be re-cropped in this tool. You must use whatever tool to crop the image before it publishes.
• A common workaround for news websites is to publish a photo gallery with all the images before you create your sliders.
• Create rich captions to guide your readers through the process.
• Can you use this strictly for a makeover home design story? How about a standing history story or series?
