In-Depth Information
the Crop pop-up menu is set to Fill Frame, then your image will be scaled up and cropped to avoid
black bars. Choosing Ken Burns Effect from the Crop pop-up menu causes Aperture to pan and
zoom your image so that you eventually see the whole image, but there's never any black area
showing in Viewer.
One slightly unintuitive control is the set of arrows next to the Transition pop-up menu. This con-
trol lets you set the direction from which a transition happens (for example, left to right or right to
left) by clicking the appropriate arrow if the transition has a direction. Some transitions, such as
dissolve, do not have an associated direction.
Adjusting individual slide
settings
To adjust an individual slide or group of slides,
select the appropriate images, click the
Slideshow Settings button, and click Selected
Slides. This set of options, shown in Figure
8.12, is very similar to the default settings, but
it lets you override each setting for a specific
slide. There are three main differences: Photo
effect, Crop settings, and Text.
Photo effect.
Selecting this check box
automatically applies an effect that you
pick from the pop-up menu (black and
white, sepia, or antique) to this slide.
Crop settings.
Clicking Edit next to the
Crop pop-up menu causes Viewer to
change to look like Figure 8.13. In this
mode, if you choose Fill Frame, Aperture
overlays a green crop rectangle, fixed to
the show's aspect ratio, to let you con-
trol how your image is cropped. Click
and drag this rectangle to move it
around or drag the edges to adjust the crop region. Finally, if you choose Ken Burns
Effect, you see two crop regions: a green one indicating the starting crop and a red one
indicating the ending crop. Adjust these as previously described, and click the Swap but-
ton on the starting crop if you want to swap the starting and ending crops.

The Selected Slides settings let you
customize settings for a particular slide or
group of slides.
