The Best Way to Make a Photo Slideshow

Making a picture slideshow is a unique way to capture memories.

Organizing and presenting pictures into a slideshow is an efficient way to display a series of moments captured on film. The best way to make a photo slideshow is by using one of many types of computer software, such as iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, or by compiling your pictures into a folder and setting them to scroll on command. With a small amount of work, a picture slideshow can be a gift for any memorable event.

Things You'll Need

• Pictures chosen for the slideshow

Instructions

1. Compile into a single folder all the pictures you would like to include into your slideshow. Save this folder to your computer desktop so that it is easily accessible.

2. Open your photo software. If you haven't installed a program such as Photoshop, Lightroom, PowerPoint or iPhoto, your computer should have an application already available.

3. In the photo-editing program of your choice, arrange and edit each picture according to your preference within the program. Frequently save your changes.

4. Choose "make slideshow" or "save as slideshow" within the menu. When prompted with a "Save As" box, choose the location to save your new slideshow. The slideshow is saved as a file independent of the photo-editing program.

Tips & Warnings

• Adding music to a picture slideshow can enhance the effect of the pictures on the viewer. Adding music can be a simple task, but depending on your computer's software, an alternate program with the audio option may be necessary.

• There are several free photo-editing programs available online.
