You can also play an "impromptu" slideshow in any module by choosing Window > ImpromptuSlideshow. An
impromptu slideshow uses the current template and settings in the Slideshow module. Playing an impromptu slideshow
in the Library module is a convenient way to quickly view images in a folder at full-screen size and rate, rotate, or delete
photos using keyboard shortcuts.
To create a slideshow in Lightroom, follow these basic steps:
1. Select the photos you want to include in your slideshow.
In the Library module, select photos in the Grid view or Filmstrip. Or use the Folders or Collections panel to select an
entire folder or a collection of photos to use for the slideshow. See
Select photos in the Grid view and the Filmstrip.
2. Arrange the slide order.
Switch to the Slideshow module. If your source photos are in a collection or in a folder that doesn't contain any
subfolders, drag the photos in the Filmstrip to arrange them in the desired order. See
Rearrange slide order.
Alternatively, let Lightroom choose the order in which the slides play: In the Playback panel on the right side of the
Slideshow module, select Random Order. See
Randomize the slide order.
3. Choose a template for the slideshow.
A template provides a basic layout for your slides.
On the left side of the Slideshow module, move the pointer over a name in the Template Browser; a preview of the
template appears in the Preview panel above the Template Browser. Click a template name to select it for your slideshow.

Choose a slideshow template.
4. (Optional) Customize the template.
