You can also create your own custom presets. For example, to prepare for a presentation, you
could create two new slideshow presets: one for your presentation and the other for your
question-and-answer period. The presentation slideshow can be manually controlled, allowing
you to move through the photos at your own pace. Your second slideshow preset, to be used
during the question-and-answer period of your presentation, can display the same photos using
the Sliding Panels theme set to show each photo for 15 seconds, with music and looping applied.
You create or modify a slideshow preset in the Slideshow dialog. For more information, see
Create and modify slideshow presets
on page 379.
The Slideshow dialog
lets you create or modify
slideshow presets.
Play a slideshow using a preset
You can easily set up a slideshow by selecting the photos you want and then choosing a
slideshow preset, which is a group of predefined settings that determines the style of your
slideshow. Once you start the slideshow on your computer, you can control the slideshow
using keyboard shortcuts.
Important:
To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-
resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also
use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available,
photos in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information
about creating high-resolution previews, see
on page 494.
