Making a Slide Show

PicturePerfect allows you to turn your photo album into a slide show, including audio.

To view a slide show, select Album, Play Slide Show from the menu. You can then decide whether you want the slide show to loop, or just play once.   When you run a slide show, the entire screen is used to display your pictures. As the slide show is playing, you can tap the display to make the menu bar reappear.

Setting the Playing Time for Pictures

When you first create an album, the duration for each picture during the slide show is in Album, Settings, Global Defaults as shown here:

You can change the duration frame-by-frame from the Picture, Properties, Extended menu. A zero value in the slide show time field makes the duration use the global default setting.

Playing a Soundtrack with your Slide Show

When you play a slide show, PicturePerfect looks for a .MP3 or a .WMA file with the same name as your album, and then plays it if it finds such a file. For example, if your album is \My Documents\Album.alb, if a file named \My Documents\Album.mp3 exists, it is automatically played with your slide show.

Turning Audio On and Off

Select Album, Settings, Preferences from the menu. The Preferences dialog appears:

If the Play Sounds Automatically item has a check mark next to it, then sounds associated with each picture will play. (This doesn't affect the Soundtrack, however.)

Ending a Slide Show

To end the slide show, tap the screen to make the menu bar reappear, then tap the red square on the menu bar. (The red square appears only when a slide show is playing.)
