Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manual

Slideshows

• Transition. How Elements should move from one slide to the next. If you

choose a different transition from the pop-out menu, you can audition it in the

little preview area at the right of the window, as explained in Figure 18-6.

• Transition Duration. How fast you want the transition to happen.

• Background Color. Click the color square for the Elements Color Picker (see

page 196) if you want a different background color.

• Apply Pan and Zoom to All Slides. If you set up the Pan and Zoom feature

(explained below) for one slide, turn this on and the camera swoops around

every slide.

• Include Photo Captions as Text. If you want to see whatever is in the Caption

field for your photo on the screen with the image, turn on this checkbox. (Ele-

ments 3 slideshow veterans will appreciate that this works in reverse, too—you

can hide your captions by just turning off this checkbox.)

• Include Audio Captions as Narration. If you’ve recorded audio captions for

your slides, leave this checkbox turned on if you want your audience to hear

them.

• Repeat Soundtrack Until Last Slide. Leave this checkbox turned on, and if you

run out of music on your soundtrack, Elements fixes things for you by repeat-

ing your song as many times as necessary.

for all your slideshows in the Slide Show ...
