How to Make Slide Shows

Digital cameras such as those made by Kodak offer you the chance to take a set of photographs and create a slide show using Easy Share software to send to family and friends. Social websites such as MySpace, Image Loop and Slide offer free software that you can use to create your own slide shows with the click of a button. Some of the sites require that you create a free login before you can access their software. This article will illustrate how to create a slide show using Kodak Easy Share.

Instructions

Add and Organize Photographs

1. Set up your photographs. Open Kodak Easy Share. Click "View" then "Slide Show Setup." Choose how quickly you want the show to move or slide from photograph to photograph by indicating the number of sections you want in the intervals under the section titled "Picture Interval." Select a higher number if you want the photographs to slide slowly across the screen. Indicate whether you want captions included with each photograph by checking the "Captions" button.

2. Look under "Select Transitions." Highlight the layout for your slide show. For example, if you want the photographs to slide from left to right, choose the first option at the top of the drop-down box. Consider other slide layout types including "Diagonal from top right," "Blocks top to bottom" or "Horizontal shades." Click "OK."

3. Click "Add Pictures" at the top of the toolbar. Use the drop-down box to locate the photographs you want to add to your slide show. Click "Done" when you have added all the photographs you want in your slide show. Review the slide.

4. Edit your slide show. Click "View" then "Slide Show Setup." Make changes to the layout and speed of the slide show. Click "Done" and review the new updates.

5. Store and send your slide show. Click "Burn CD/DVD" to burn your slide show to a DVD or CD. Click the "Email" icon to email your slide show to family and friends.
