Changing a Slideshow’s Theme
The first step in creating a slideshow is to choose its theme. Aperture provides a set of
professionally designed themes that present your images with background images,
graphic elements, and animation.
Aperture asks you to choose a theme when you first create a slideshow album, and it’s
a good idea to explore the slideshow themes before you get started. Some themes may
lend themselves better to the subject matter of your images than others. However, you
can change the theme of a slideshow at any time.
Note: Additional slideshow themes appear in the Slideshow Themes dialog for use in
Aperture when iPhoto ’11 is installed.
For more information about creating slideshow albums, see Creating Slideshow Albums.

Click the Theme button
to change a slideshow’s
theme.
2 In the dialog that appears, select a theme from the list, then click Choose Theme.
