Creating a slideshow

Photo Explorer's Slideshow Storyboard is where you bring together images, videos and
sounds, and plan out their sequence in the slideshow.
The different multimedia files which you can play in a slideshow include the following:
• Image files -- All image file types.
• JPEG in Exif format -- These are images from digital cameras. They contain Exif data
which include details about the camera when the images were taken. Some JPEGs of
this type may also contain sound annotations.
• Video files -- Popular video file formats such as AVI, MOV, and MPEG.
• Sound files -- WAV, AU, and MP3 files.
Here's how to create a slideshow:
1. Select Tools: Slideshow to open the Slideshow Storyboard and create a new project.
2. Select and drag the thumbnails of image and video files to the storyboard. You can
drag thumbnails from different folders.
3. To change the sequence of thumbnails, just drag them to the desired position.
4. Click the Slideshow Options button to select a transition effect and other display
options. Choose whether to run the slideshow automatically or by manual control.
Tips:
• Right-click the Slideshow Storyboard to open a pop-up menu and access more
commands.
• If you have Ulead Cool 360 software installed, click the Stitch Panorama button on the
storyboard toolbar to transform a series of images into a 360 degree or wide-angle
panorama. Refer to the Cool 360 online help for more information.
