Adding Photos
I never seem to hit upon the right combina-
tion of photos when I create a slideshow—
there’s always one (or two, or twenty) more
that really must go in. iDVD has a limit of
9,801 photos—but it’s hard to really call that
a limit.
To add photos to the slideshow:
1. Double-click a slideshow to enter the
Slideshow editor (if it’s not already open).
2.
Drag one or more image files from
the Media pane or the Finder to the
Slideshow editor (Figure 4.14).
To rearrange photos:
u Drag one or more images to a new loca-
tion within the Slideshow editor. The
other images are re-ordered to accommo-
date the change (Figure 4.15).
4 Tips
n Don’t drag new photos to the slideshow’s
icon in the menu—they’ll change the
icon, but won’t be added to the slide-
show. (See “Using Motion” in Chapter 2.)
Make sure you’re adding them to the
Slideshow editor.
n Rearranging the order of the photos
changes the preview icon for your slide-
show in the menu (Figure 4.16). For
example, if the icon is photo number 2
and you move another picture into the
number 2 position in the Slideshow edi-
tor, the latter photo appears as the icon
when you return to the menu.
n You can add multiple copies of the same
photo to a slideshow, in the event that
you want an image to repeat later.
Figure 4.14 Add one or more photos from the Media
pane by dragging them to the Slideshow editor.
Figure 4.15 Drag one or more photos to a new
location in the Slideshow editor to rearrange them.
Adding Photos
Figure 4.16 The slideshow icon is based on the photo
positions within the slideshow. If you’ve chosen the
photo in the number 2 position as the icon (left), and
then move a different photo to that position, the new
photo becomes the icon (right).
