About Editing Slideshow Transitions and Applying Eects
Aperture provides two methods for applying transitions and eects to the slides in your
slideshow. The rst method applies the changes uniformly to every slide and transition in the
slideshow using the Default Settings controls. The second method applies changes to individual
slides and transitions using the Selected Slides controls. You use the second method when you
want to emphasize a specic photo, change the length or type of a particular transition, or
apply text to an individual slide. The settings made for selected photos using the Selected Slides
controls override the settings made to the entire slideshow using the Default Settings controls.
When you make changes to the entire slideshow using the Default Settings controls, the settings
made using the Selected Slides controls are unchanged.
Although the Default Settings and Selected Slides controls are not visible by default, you can
access them by clicking the Slideshow Settings button in the Slideshow Editor.
For more information about working with the Default Settings controls, see An Overview of
Modifying the Entire Slideshow on page 469. For more information about working with the
Selected Slides controls, see An Overview of Modifying Individual Slides and Transitions on
page 475.
