4 Tips
n You can choose to always include high-
resolution slideshow photos on the DVD-
ROM portion of your disc. Open iDVD’s
preferences, click the Slideshow icon, and
enable Always add original slideshow
photos to DVD-ROM contents.
n Does a thick black band appear around
your photos when you preview the slide-
show? iDVD shrinks the images to fit
within the TV Safe Area. To turn off this
feature (if you’re going to view the DVD
on a computer, for example), open iDVD’s
preferences and click the Slideshow icon.
Then, disable the option marked Always
scale slides to TV Safe Area (Figure 4.12).
n Click the list style buttons at the upper-
right corner of the Slideshow editor to
switch between viewing just thumbnails
of your images and viewing them in a list
with filenames and comments displayed
(Figure 4.13).
A Pointer about Pointers
When you add a photo from the Media
pane, iDVD creates a pointer to the photo’s
original image file; it doesn’t store a new
copy. So, if you add a photo to your slide-
show, and then edit it in iPhoto later (such
as cropping it or converting it to black and
white), the edited version appears in your
slideshow.
This also explains why, if you edit a photo
in iPhoto, that picture’s thumbnail image
isn’t updated in your slideshow, even if the
correct version appears when you preview
the slideshow. iDVD creates a thumbnail
image of the photo when it’s added to the
slideshow.
Figure 4.12 Images are usually scaled to fit within the
TV Safe Area, but you can turn off this option. Compare
this example with the same slide on the previous page.
Figure 4.13 Photos can be viewed in a list, too.
