Slide Shows
While slide shows might initially make you think of the carousels of slides that your Great Aunt
Matilda used to show for hours on end (here's Matilda waving to the north, here's Matilda waving
to the south, and for variety, here's Matilda waving to the east), digital slide shows are far more
engaging than traditional slide shows. Aperture 3 lets you create advanced slide shows with tran-
sition effects, custom timing, video, music, and more. Plus, it's easy to export your show to the
Web or to an iPad.
Creating a new slide show
There are two ways to make a slide show in Aperture. The first is more of an impromptu show,
where you just pick images, pick a preset, and give the show. The second involves creating a slide
show album, possibly adjusting specific settings on your show, and being able to quickly give this
same show again in the future or export a movie of the show.
To create an impromptu slide show, select a
group of images and choose File
Play
Slideshow. Aperture opens the Play Slideshow
dialog, as shown in Figure 8.7.
Choose your preset, described in the follow-
ing list, from the pop-up menu, and click Start
to start playing your show.
Dissolve. Fade between static images.
Fade through Black. Transition
between static images by fading out to
black and then in to the new image.
8.7 The Play Slideshow dialog lets you quickly
create and play a slide show with little
customization.
Manual. Click to advance slides with a
dissolve transition.
Slow Dissolve. Like dissolve, but shows each slide for 5 seconds with a 5-second dis-
solve instead of 3 seconds with a 2-second dissolve.
Classic. Fade between static images with a title slide.
Ken Burns. Pan and zoom across your images while they're on-screen.
