Under the Loupe leveraging slideshows BY ROB SYLVAN A slideshow can be a simple yet powerful means to display a collection of photos in a variety of ways. Lightroom CC/6 introduced some welcome new tools to the Slideshow module that really improve the final product.
› › lightroom magazine › › A well-done slideshow has the power to emotionally engage your audience beyond what’s possible by viewing static still photos alone. While Lightroom’s Slideshow module is by no means the most full-featured product for creating a slideshow, the fact that it’s integrated into the Lightroom workflow does give it a major advantage over competing products. With the introduction of Lightroom CC/6 we gained the ability to add multiple music tracks, a way to sync slideshow transitions to the beats in the music, a method to preview the slideshow at different aspect ratios, an automated pan-and-zoom effect to liven up the display of still photos, and a number of smaller tweaks to improve the experience. My family recently said a sad farewell to our beloved dog of (almost) 16 years. Sixteen years that spanned a significant part of my marriage and the entirety of my 14-year-old son’s life to date. As you can guess, our dog’s life was well documented, and these photos told not only his story, but the story of our growing family from our first home to our first move, to our son’s arrival, to his growth as a young man, and every trip, snowstorm, naptime, and playtime along the way. I gathered up a collection of these photos and decided to create a slideshow to share with family and friends who knew and loved him, and in so doing gained a new appreciation for this part of Lightroom. If you’ve written off the Slideshow module or simply not used it at all, you might want to give it another chance. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of the experience. start with a collection While not required, it can make the start of the process a lot simpler. I created a collection for this project and then set it as the Target Collection by Right-clicking the collection and choosing that option from the contextual menu. From there, you can go through your Library and add photos (and videos) to the collection by selecting them and pressing the B key (shortcut to add to Target Collection). I set the sort order of this collection to Capture Time, which made sense for this project, but you can change the sort order via the View>Sort menu (or use the Sort menu in the Library Toolbar). You can even drag-and-drop photos while in Grid view or the Filmstrip to create a custom sort. This can always be changed later, if needed. From there, click the Slideshow button in the Module picker to start creating the slideshow. › › kelbyone.com 099
