Introduction
Have you ever spent ages creating a slideshow of images in powerpoint or any
other software programme? Here is a fast and efficient way to create a simple
slideshow for use during a presentation or classroom lesson.
Gather
together all your images in a single folder.
Locate
all of the images you wish to display in
your slideshow into a single folder. See
the example below. They do not need to be
named in any particular way unless you wish
for the images to appear in a particular
order. You will then need to rename and number
your images in numerical order.
|
|
Select all of the images
Select
all of the images in the folder. You can do
this by clicking on the folder and typing 'Command~A'.
You can also move your mouse to the Edit menu
and click on the menu item 'Select All'. See
the example below.

Once you have selected all the files they
will be highlighted as below.
|
|
Select Slideshow from the pop-up menu
Control~click
or right~mouse click on the selected files
and
select Slideshow
from the pop-up menu. See the example
below.

The
screen will darken and the first image will
appear. If you move the mouse towards the
foot of the screen the slideshow controls
will appear. See below.

The
slideshow controls will allow you to:

View
an Index Sheet of all the images
- Fit
the slide show to the screen dimensions

an image to iPhoto

the slide show

If
you click on the Index Sheet button

images will be
shown. Click on a thumbnail to jump to that
