Which Slideshow Theme Should You Choose?
Aperture provides a set of professionally designed themes you can use to present
slideshows of your images. However, the Classic and Ken Burns slideshow themes are
the most customizable. Use the dialog that appears when you create a new slideshow
album or when you click the Theme button in the Slideshow Editor to preview the
slideshow themes that come with Aperture. If you want to significantly modify a
slideshow theme, choose Classic or Ken Burns.
About Editing Slideshow Transitions and Applying Effects
Aperture provides two methods for applying transitions and effects to the slides in your
slideshow. The first method applies the changes uniformly to every slide and transition
in the slideshow using the Default Settings controls. The second method applies changes
to individual slides and transitions using the Selected Slides controls. You use the second
method when you want to emphasize a specific image, change the length or type of a
particular transition, or apply text to an individual slide. The settings made for selected
images using the Selected Slides controls override the settings made to the entire
slideshow using the Default Settings controls. When you make changes to the entire
slideshow using the Default Settings controls, the settings made using the Selected Slides
controls are unchanged.
Although the Default Settings and Selected Slides controls are not visible by default, you
can access them by clicking the Slideshow Settings button in the Slideshow Editor. For
more information about the Default Settings and Selected Slides controls, see Slideshow
Editor.
For more information about working with the Default Settings controls, see Modifying
Settings Applied to the Entire Slideshow. For more information about working with the
Selected Slides controls, see Modifying Individual Slides and Transitions.
