Preview and select a slide show template

• To preview a template, position the pointer over the template name. The template preview displays the currently
selected slide with the template options applied.

Specify how photos fill a slide's image cell
By default, slide show templates (except Crop To Fill) scale photos so that the entire image fits within the slide's image
cell. The slide background shows in the spaces where the aspect ratio of the photos and the image cells don't match.
You can set an option so that all photos completely fill the space in the image cells. When this option is selected,
portions of the photos (especially vertical images) might be cropped to fill the image cell's aspect ratio.
❖
In the Options panel of the Slideshow module, select Zoom To Fill Frame.
Add a border or cast shadow to the image
To make your photos stand out from the slide background, add a border or a cast shadow to each photo. Your
adjustments are displayed in the Slide Editor view.
