I downloaded the Showcase Extras Action and dragged it onto my freeway pro 5.5 icon and I cannot see where you can access changing the look of the controls or adding watermarks.
Also, I need more flexibility to position the controls off of the photo, to the side, below, above, but not on the image itself. any ideas?

Showcase Extras is a Page action so with nothing selected on the Page go to Page>Page Actions and SE is down near the bottom of the list.
As far as positioning the controls goes - that may be possible with some custom CSS but not sure what at this stage.

OK - here is an example http://www.deltadesign.co/odds/showcase4.html
This has the following code added via Page>HTML Markup in the before end head slot.
<style type="text/css">
.fwShowcase_controls a {
position: absolute;
bottom: -50px !important;
}
</style>
The negative value positions the controls outwith the box.

Thank you David your help.
I looked at the link, and the first time I entered the page I saw the controls and them they disappeared, I was able to navigate by just clicking on the photo but even hovering over where the navigation was did not bring it back. I assume that the code would work with a slideshow too.
Any Idea when they are going to make another version of Showcase? This is one of my favorite freeway actions and I need more control over the look and feel as well as caption position and size because I build sites for artists and photographers.
It would also be nice to have the option to have a cropped thumbnail and a non cropped large image. I guess I would have to build it the pre-showcase way.

What you should see is no navigation on the opening page but when you click on an image then the image expands with the controls underneath.
If that is not what you are seeing can you let me know what OS and what Browser(s) you are using.
As to Softpress updating showcase - I cannot answer that as I am not affiliated with them at all.

Thanks for all your help. things seem to be appearing properly now, but I had to eliminate captions on the large image because they interfered with the buttons. Now if I could only have the images on the left with the large on the right rather than over the page. I know the the slideshow works similar to what I am describing but I do not like to scroll through thumbnails.
Overall I am happy with the improved look of the buttons that are no longer on the image.

I could probably move the buttons to the top so as not to interfere with the captions. Just not sure how consistent this would be on different sized images.

Alternatively move the controls further down (by the height of the caption)
So in my example if your caption was 50px the the new markup would be
<style type="text/css">
.fwShowcase_controls a {
position: absolute;
bottom: -100px !important;
}
</style>
ie -50 plus 50 more down = -100px

I had entered -100 before and it seemed to disappear off the page. and I see how you did it on the link, but what is weird is that when I enter your link, the controls are there, close out of the popup and reenter and they are no longer there???

Works fine for me in both Safari and Firefox 4.
