Setting Slideshow Options

Before playing a slideshow, you can specify the display duration for each slide, choose
transition effects, and add background music.

To specify the display duration:

1

Select your slideshow in the Source list. The iPhoto window changes to slideshow view.

2

Click the Settings button (in the bottom-right corner of the iPhoto window).

3

In the Settings dialog, click the arrows next to “seconds” to specify the number of
seconds you want each photo to stay on the screen.

To choose transition effects, do one of the following:
 Choose a transition from the Transition pop-up menu at the bottom of the iPhoto

window.

 Click the Adjust button (bottom-right corner of the window). In the Adjust This Slide

window, choose a transition from the Transition pop-up menu and specify the
transition duration using the Speed slider.

 Click the Settings button (bottom-right corner of the window), choose a transition

from the Transition pop-up menu, and specify the transition duration using the
Speed slider. (You can also set other options for the entire slideshow in this dialog,
including the size of the photos, the Ken Burns Effect, and whether the slideshow
repeats automatically.)

The default transition for a new slideshow is the Dissolve transition. You can choose to
have photos appear as if they are on different sides of a cube, have one fade through
black to the next, and so on.

You can also add background music to your slideshow from the Sample Music folder or
your iTunes library:
