Changing a Slideshow’s Theme
The rst step in creating a slideshow is to choose its theme. Aperture provides a set of
professionally designed themes that present your photos with background images, graphic
elements, and animation.
Aperture asks you to choose a theme when you rst create a slideshow album, and it’s a good
idea to explore the slideshow themes before you get started. Some themes may lend themselves
better to the subject matter of your photos than others. However, you can change the theme of
a slideshow at any time.
Note: Additional slideshow themes appear in the Slideshow Themes dialog for use in
Aperture when iPhoto ’11 is installed. Aperture slideshow themes automatically scale to t
panoramic photos.
For more information about creating slideshow albums, see Creating Slideshow Albums on
page 465.
To change the theme for a slideshow
1 In the Slideshow Editor, click the Theme button.
Click the Theme
button to change
a slideshow’s theme.
2 In the dialog that appears, select a theme from the list, then click Choose Theme.
Aperture applies the selected theme to the slideshow.
Important: Aperture provides a set of professionally designed themes you can use to present
slideshows of your photos. However, the Classic and Ken Burns slideshow themes are the most
customizable. Use the dialog that appears when you create a new slideshow album or when you
click the Theme button in the Slideshow Editor to preview the slideshow themes that come with
Aperture. If you want to signicantly modify a slideshow theme, choose Classic or Ken Burns.
