Getting Started

The Photos

The first key of any slide show is the quality of the photos. 
Take your time and find the best photos that you have. 
Also, make sure all the photos fit together in the theme
of the show, especially if it's a gift.  Once you've selected
all your photos, put them in the order that you want them
in for the slideshow.  You may want to mark them on the
back with the order number, using a dull grease pencil
or crayon or post-it note.

The Music

Yes, the photos are the key, but the music can top it off and bring the emotion of the photos out during the show.  Pick a song to set the mood and with lyrics that help support the overall show.  If you're stumped on a song, we have can recommend one.

Titles & Credits

Titles and credits are the finishing, and very personal touches for your slide show.  Tell the recipients what you think of them.  Add that special saying that only they may know.  Say what you've been meaning to say.  

Special Effects

Optional effects can add great impact for one or several photos in a show.  Zooming in or out, as well as panning across an important photo will ensure full impact of a special photo.
