Create a slide show of your photos. Once you have the photos placed in the slide show, add transitions between the slides for interesting effects. You can assign a sound file to play during the slide show. Each slide and transition can be assigned its own sound file.
To create a slide show:
|
|
1. |
Click the New tool on the Command bar. Or, on the File menu, select New.... The New dialog will appear. |
|
2. |
Click the Slide Show icon in the dialog. |
|
|
3. |
If you wish, type a name for your slide show in the Name text field. |
|
|
4. |
In the Slide Show Options section of the dialog, you can choose to scale the photos to fit your current preview area or your monitor if you are running in full-screen mode. Choosing the full-screen option works well for large photos, but it may make smaller photos look grainy. With the option disabled, the slides will appear in the Work area. Set the Slide and Transition Duration (the time the slide remains on screen, and the transition time between slides). Lastly, select a Background Color for the slides. The background color will act as a filler around sildes that are smaller than the work area. |
