Chapter 3. making a slideshow

One of the great promises of digital photography is that you can save a fortune by only printing the good ones. iPhoto makes it so that you don't even have to print those: you can make spectacular slideshows out of your digital still shots.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to select a group of photos for a slideshow, crop them to fit the screen on which you'll show them, zoom in and pan from one point to another à la Ken Burns, link them together with stunning transitions, and lastly, add music as a final touch. You can then view your slideshow right on your Mac's screen, watch them on television, or export them to a DVD.
