Let's look now at how to build a Slideshow and we go to Create under Projects and click on Slideshow and then we'll get the Dialog Box that comes up with a number of options available to you. The duration for each image to be visible is set right here, let's call it five seconds and the kind of transition that you want between images can be chosen here, you can do a clock wipe or random, barn doors and its demonstrated here for you as you choose each one. There's a center shape and so on. So let's just say we're going to do a dissolve and the Transition Duration can be 4 seconds or whatever you want it to be. Let's call it 2, our background color is set to blue, but if you want to change it you just click on the little box and you can change it to any color you want. But I'm going to go ahead and change this to orange and if you want pan and zoomed all slides and a number of other options are available to you down here. The Preview Quality is high, show this dialog each time a new slideshow is created, completely your option if that's what you want to do. Then you click OK and your slideshow is created. Number of options still available to you are to put these little animals in there, little clipart doodads and you can just throw that right in there like that. You can use the Slider to make them larger. You can make these black and white or sepia or full color, however you want. You can come up and add Text to it. Choose the Font that you want and let's say we want to choose this one to begin with, type your text and this is a Santa Barbara Sunset. Hit OK and then we want to position this here and let's say we want to change the color to something that more represents the sunset and what we're looking at. Say OK, change the size, go over here to say 14 that looks a little small so we'll go to 24. Put this right here, of course you can stretch it out if you want to; change it to anything you want, a lot of flexibility here. You can Edit the text if you want once its in there by just simply click on the Edit Text Box. You can change the Font Style and I have a lot of fonts installed on my computer so you're going to see quite a list here and if you want that to go as a single line then just pull that over. I think that looks very, very good. So don't be afraid to change, to play with some of the options in here, it's a lot of fun, all kinds of different things. Now, what you're going to do with your slideshow once you get it made? Here are your choices to either save the projects a Photoshop Elements Project which is done here which means you can re-open it and further Edit what it is you've created or if you decided that you're happy with what's here, hit Output and then you can save this as a File, either as a movie file which will be played in Windows Media Player or as a PDF or you can burn to disk which means it will play automatically on a DVD on a computer or you can send it to your TV which means you can put it on a DVD and then put it into any DVD Player and it will play on the television. So it's completely up to you how you want to output it. Now you can also add narration and you click on the little microphone and assuming you have a microphone hooked up which I obviously do, you click on the Red Record Button and then you can click on the next Slide button as you narrate each individual image and it's as simply as that and that is how you build a slideshow in Photoshop Elements 7.
