To create and play a slideshow:

 Select individual images or image stacks in the Browser.

Choose File > Slideshow (or press Shift-S).

The Run Slideshow dialog appears.

Choose a type of slideshow presentation from the Slideshow Preset pop-up menu.

The slideshow presets include:

 Dissolve: Displays each image for 3 seconds, with a 2-second cross fade.
 Fade through Black: Displays each image on a black background for 3 seconds, with a

2-second cross fade.

 Manual: You control this slideshow’s progression with the Right and Left Arrow keys.
 Slow Dissolve: Displays each image for 5.1 seconds, with a 5-second cross fade.
 4-Up Slow: Successively displays four images one at a time, showing each image for

3 seconds and then transitioning with a 2-second cross fade. The first image is
replaced with the fifth, and so on.
