7.2. Option-Click SlideshowsThere's mercifully little to learn about instantaneous slideshowsthe ones that begin when you Option-click the Play button beneath the Source list. The slideshow begins automatically and instantaneously, leaving nothing for you to do but sit back and enjoy the show. (All right, truth be told, you can have some involvement, as described later in this chapter.) Finish the show by clicking the mouse. 7.2.1. Which PhotosAmong the virtues of this slideshow type is the freedom you have to choose which pictures you want to see. For example:
Tip: If a slideshow icon (described momentarily) is highlighted in the Source list, you don't need the Option key to begin a slideshow immediately. Use the Option key only if an album or a batch of photos are selected. 7.2.2. Photo OrderiPhoto displays your pictures in the same order you see them in the photo-viewing area. In other words, to rearrange your slides, drag the thumbnails around within their album. Just remember that you can't drag pictures around in the Photo Library, a smart album, the Last 12 Months collection, or the Last Roll folderonly within a photo album. Note: If iPhoto appears to be shamelessly disregarding the order of your photos when running a slideshow, it's probably because you've got the "Present slides in random order" option turned on in the Slideshow dialog box, as described in the following section. |
