Zooming in Other Themes

The remaining slide show themes don’t provide for Ken Burns moves, but you can still zoom a photo to have just part of it appear—it’s like cropping the photo without having to actually crop it in edit view.

To do it, display that photo in the slide show editor, drag the Zoom slider to zoom in, and then drag within the photo to position it as desired.

If you’re working with a theme that displays multiple photos at once, be sure to select the photo you want to adjust before hitting that size slider. To select the photo, click it in the thumbnail photos browser.
