Creating slide shows: Basic workflowIn the Slideshow module, you can create slide shows to present photos on screen with music and transitions. The left panels contain a list of slide show templates and a preview of their layouts. The Slide Editor view in the center of the workspace displays the photos in a slide template. The toolbar below the Slide Editor contains controls for playing a preview of the slide show, refining the selection, and adding text to the slides. The right panels contain controls for specifying how the photos appear in the template layout, modifying the template, adding text to the slide layout, and selecting playback settings.

If you want to share a slide show with others, or play it on another computer, you can export the slide show as an Adobe PDF file. Exported slide shows play without music. You can also play an impromptu slide show from the Library or Develop module. An impromptu slide show plays using the current template and settings in the Slideshow module. This is a convenient way to view images at full screen and rate, rotate, or delete images in a folder using keyboard shortcuts. To create a slide show, follow these basic steps: 1. Select images from the Library.In the Library module, select photos in the Grid view or Filmstrip. Or select a folder, collection, or keyword to display photos you want to include in the slide show. See Selecting photos in the Grid view and the Filmstrip. Use the Quick Collection to assemble photos from multiple folders or with different keywords, or make a collection from selected photos. Assembling the photos into a collection gives you more control over arranging the slide order or modifying the slide show later. See Assemble photos into the Quick Collection and Create or delete collections and collection sets.  You can filter
the photos in the Filmstrip of the Slideshow module by clicking
the Use pop-up menu in the toolbar and choosing All Photos, Selected
Photos, or Flagged Photos.2. Arrange the slide order.If you assembled your photos into a collection or if you’ve selected a folder that does not contain other folders, drag the photos in the Filmstrip to arrange them in the desired order. See Rearrange slide order and Randomize the slide order. 3. Choose a template in the Slideshow module.Move the pointer over a template name in the Template Browser on the left side of the workspace to see a preview of the template. Click a template name to select it for your slide show. See Choose a slide show template. 4. (Optional) Customize the template.Customize your slide show by modifying the Options, Layout, Overlays, and Backdrop settings. For example, add a drop shadow; specify whether to show your identity plate or a caption on the slides; and specify a color or image for the slide show background. See Adding overlays to slides and Set the slide background. Note: Save your modifications as
a custom template if you might want to use them again later. See Choose a slide show template.
5. Set playback options.Set slide duration and transition options for playing a slide show from within Lightroom. You can also specify introductory and ending slides, and select a music playlist on your computer to play during the slide show. See Set slide and transition duration. 6. Preview or play the slide show.Click the Preview Slideshow button in the toolbar to display the slide show in the Slideshow Editor view. Click the Play button to play the slide show as a full-screen presentation on your computer. See Preview a slide show and Play a slide show. 7. Export the slide show if you plan to share it.You can save your slide show as an Adobe PDF document so that others can view it. Click the Export button, name the slide show, and specify your desired size and quality settings. You can also export slides as a series of JPEG files. See Export a slide show. Important: Music cannot be
included in exported slide shows.
8. (Optional) Save the layout as a custom template or save settings with an output creation.Save your slide show layout as a custom template so you can reuse it easily. Or save the slide show settings as an output creation. An output creation lets you easily return to a specific set of output options for a collection of photos. You can also easily swap photos in the output creation while preserving specific Slideshow, Print, or Web module settings. See Create custom slide show templates and Save slide show settings as an output creation. For a video about of all the output modules, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid2212_lrm.
