Slideshows overview
With Aperture, you can easily create and present slideshows of your photos. You can use two
main methods to create slideshows in Aperture:
•
Create a slideshow quickly: You can quickly create a slideshow from a selection of photos using
a slideshow preset. Slideshow presets are collections of predefined slideshow settings that
determine the overall look of your slideshow and how your photos appear on the screen.
Aperture provides a number of slideshow presets, and you can also create your own custom
presets. Slideshow presets are convenient when you’re sitting with a client or friend and you
want to give a basic presentation of your photos on your computer, but you don’t need to
save the slideshow. For more information, see
on page 376.
•
Create a full-featured slideshow: To create a more elaborate multimedia presentation or to
export your slideshow as a movie for others to view, you create a slideshow album and use
the Slideshow Editor to edit the slideshow. Aperture provides themes that you can apply to
your slideshow to give it a professional look, and you can also include video clips, create a
layered soundtrack, and customize elements such as titles, borders, transitions, and effects.
You can play the slideshow on your computer, or you can export the slideshow as a movie to
share with others via email or the web. You can also send your slideshow directly to iTunes
for syncing with iPhone, iPod, iPod touch, iPad, or Apple TV. For information, see
on page 381.
Important:
Aperture slideshows cannot be edited in iPhoto. To modify an Aperture slideshow,
you must open your Aperture library in Aperture and then edit the slideshow.

Slideshow presets overview
Slideshow presets are groups of predefined settings for playing a slideshow. For example, you
can choose a slideshow preset to change the theme or apply transitions and timing to your
onscreen presentation. You choose presets in the Play Slideshow dialog. When you choose a
preset, a preview of the preset plays in the dialog.
