In-Depth Information
The easiest slideshow of all, though, is the kind you can make in the Organizer's Full Screen
view, where it's a snap to create a full-featured slideshow with just a couple of quick settings
adjustments. You can create this kind of slideshow in Windows and on Macs, but you can
only
show
it to people who can see your computer monitor—you can't save it, email it, or
post it on the Web.
Elements also lets you upload your photos directly to a number of popular sharing sites, like
Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. This chapter covers all your options.
TIP
For the new type of Elements slideshow, you need to do all your photo editing before you
start your slideshow. Full Screen view, on the other hand, lets you edit as much as you
like, using the Organizer's quick editing tools.
Full Screen View
Elements gives you a really easy way to create impressive slideshows to play on your com-
puter, which could come in handy if, say, you want to play a retrospective of Mom and Dad's
life together during their 50th wedding anniversary party. Whether you're using a Mac or a
PC, you do this via the Organizer's Full Screen view, which gives you all kinds of options
for music and fancy transitions between the images. To get started:
1.
In the Organizer, select the photos and videos you want to use in the slideshow,
and then switch to Full Screen view
.
If you want the photos displayed in a particular order, put them into an album (
Al-
View→Full Screen or press F11/
⌘
-F11 to enter Full Screen View. (If you have a Mac
with a short keyboard without the 10-key pad on the right—like on a laptop or the
current Apple Bluetooth keyboard—you need to add the fn key to most keystroke
combos that use the F-keys on the top row of the keyboard.)
