Title: Fun Mac-Tiger slide show thing
Post by: jcarter on October 11, 2006, 06:57:50 PM
Found this here, among a lot of other goodies, but Ive fallen in love with this one,
http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/instantslideshow.html

"Let’s say you open a window and there are 20 photos in that window. Want to see a quick slide show of those photos? Just press Command-A to select all the photos, then Control-click on any photo and from the contextual menu that appears, choose slideshow. A full-screen slide show of those photos (complete with a nice smooth dissolve transition) will appear onscreen.

If you want to see only some of the photos in a slide show, instead of selecting all the images, just Command-click on the photos you want in your slide show before Control-clicking on one and choosing slideshow. To quit the slide show in progress, just press the escape key on your keyboard."

Jane, I hope your 'find' is not a statement about your lack of attention to postings at TS...Thinking.gif

Bill (bil207) mentioned this same technique in answer to a slideshow need a few weeks ago ( Sep 23 2006, 05:38 PM ).

As I stated back then, I am making a contest out of it at our MUG meeting next week. smile.gif

Now, get back to reading absolutely every post that shows new entries since you read them! rant.gif

Whoops, sorry, there are so many goodies posted here, that I do forget about them from time to time, and repeat by mistake.
I'm not getting any younger,,,,,,,,,my kids call it a 'brain stall'.

OK, you'll just have to get up earlier and read everything every day! And you'll get the extra benefit of exercizing your brain! smile.gif

And two slaps with the wet noodle for kimmer, also. the date of that post is only about three weeks ago! You should have been reading any and all threads that might have touched on Tiger, since you knew you would soon be using it!

Come on people, just because we may be older than some, we simply must keep up! Time and computers wait for Noe Wone ( whoever that is wallbash.gif )!

There is so much wonderful info here!  Tis sometimes hard to keep up, but I do try.
Kayaking and biking in October is super here, so please forgive my brainstalls.
Yes, the leaves are beginning to turn too, so kayaking along the shore of the lakes and ponds where the Red Maples are, is just lovely.
Biking on private roads and all over this area is great,,,,,,yes, Im tired at the end of a day.  
How wonderful the weather has been here is just amazing!
