Lightroom 3 of ers some signii cant improvements in the creation of slideshows.
h at said, Lightroom really can't compete with dedicated slideshow programs. I
hope this chapter will show you all that's possible within Lightroom slideshows and
help you see where Lightroom's slideshows i t in the larger landscape of on-screen

Lightroom for most of your slideshows.
