Slide Show

Select all images to be included in your slide show and click “Slide Show” on the QuickStep Bar.

The slide show displays the first image in full-screen mode with an appropriate hint panel. The floating control bar can be moved around freely and allows you to play and configure the slide show.

Click the VCR-style “Start” button to display all selected images, one at a time. Interval and other options can be controlled by clicking “Configure Slide Show”.

You can change the settings while the slide show is in progress. This way you can instantly verify the results, e.g., if the time interval is perfect.

For captions, click the button to the left of the “Show Descriptors” field. This opens the “Text” tool to choose a descriptor and define its on-screen location and presentation. For more information, see the chapter “Image Editing – Text Filter”.

“Transition Effects” give your slide show an extra professional appearance. Choose “random” if you can’t decide on any single transition effect.

The “Content” setting lets you choose to display either the selected images only, or to include all other images in that folder and even its subfolders.

Below “Interval” setting, you can choose the option to replay the slide show continuously.

With the final setting, you control the “Order” in which images appear.

If the control bar is not visible, you may previously have deselected the option "Control Buttons in Full Screen Mode" in the "Configure Slide Show" panel. Just click the right mouse button anywhere on the full-screen image. The context menu allows you to show the control bar, exit the full-screen mode or manage the slide show without displaying the control bar at all.

You can also launch the slide show from the context menu for thumbnail images. Select the images in the image archive, click the right mouse button and choose “Slide Show (Full Screen)”.
