Creating Photo Slideshows

To create a photo slideshow, do this:

1. In the project library, select the collection/folder/album or keyword tag that contains the photos you want to include in your slideshow.
2. Click on Slideshow to open the slideshow module.
3. In the photo browser panel, drag the photos you want to include in the slideshow to the preview window.

Note: you can rearrange the photo order by dragging each photo to a new position, as required.

1. Click the button to add text captions on photos in your slideshow. You can also combine with color boards to create titles and credits.
2. Click the button to add a color board, or blank colored slide into the slideshow. Color boards let you insert a break into your slideshow, or you can use them for titles and credits. Select the color of the color board from the color panel, and then click Add Color Board.
3. Set the slideshow Style as follows:
   • Effect: select the effect used in the slideshow. Fade adds a fade in and fade out effect between the photos in your slideshow. Wipe Left Soft uses a wipe effect between slides. Motion adds pan and zoom effects to make your slideshow more engaging with the appearance of motion.
   • Aspect ratio: select the aspect ratio of the slideshow.
   • Background music: select this option if you want to add background music to your slideshow. Click and select the music file you want to use as the background music in your slideshow.
   • Duration: select the duration you want each photo displayed, before progressing to the next photo in the slideshow. Select Fit to Music to set the length of the slideshow to match the duration of the select background music.
4. Click the play button to preview the slideshow.
