Chapter 6. iPhoto Slideshows
iPhoto’s slideshow feature offers one of the world’s best ways to show off your digital photos (and videos, for that matter). Slideshows are incredibly easy to set up, they’re free, and they make your photos look fantastic.
In the current version of iPhoto, you’ll find six slideshow themes that include flying, animated visual effects, and one that uses Places tags (Chapter 4) to make your photos emerge from different spots on a spinning globe. Several themes come with their own soundtracks, so the animations and music match, while others merely feature semi-recognizable tunes. And all the themes also take advantage of iPhoto’s face-recognition smarts—they try to center your subjects’ faces onscreen during the slideshow.
Note
You can also send your slideshows over to iTunes in order to sync them with your iPhone or iPad. Skip ahead to Using iTunes File Sharing to learn how.
This chapter details not only how to put together an iPhoto slideshow, but also how to create presentations that make you and your photos look their absolute best.
Note
In the past, instead of running a slideshow directly from iPhoto, you could send it—music and all—from iPhoto to iDVD, Apple’s DVD-authoring program. But Apple has discontinued iDVD; you can’t get it anymore. If you happen to still have a copy, you can download the PDF “iDVD Slideshows” from this book’s Missing CD page at www.missingmanuals.com/cds.
