A screen shot of the focus tool in the alt text editor, you can only clearly see a single frame of a 6 panel comic because the rest is behind a grey fog of war

A screen shot of the previous image in the alt-text editor, showing how even less of image is visible a second time

So the #mastodon #altText tool doesn't let you view the image without the focal point editor enabled ...

So you have to caption a whole image just dragging around a little circle to make the text in the speech boxes readable

@EndlessMason Tip:

Open the image in an image viewer.
Write the image description in a plain-text editor.
Then upload the image.
Lastly, copy-paste the image description from the text editor into the alt-text field.
