[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 815885, member: 50197"] I got the idea to try my hand at a slideshow today. Doesn't look like the web based LR will do it. I looked up a video to show how to do it in PS. Not terribly intuitive, but once you know the secret handshake, the basics aren't difficult. Having said that, it should not be a surprise, but there is a lot more to it than just throwing a handful of photos together and slapping a music track on it. Choice of music, transitions, length of display of an individual photo, pan/zoom/rotate, matching the different parts of the song to the right photo. The list goes on. There is also the issue of where and how to share them, copyright issues with the music. I choose a handful of my macro and flower pictures and grabbed what seemed a fitting song I had handy and tried one out. I'll inflict it on the Pup and see what she has to say. I realize that I've got a long way to go to produce something I can be proud of, but nothing worthwhile is easy. Also, this may be one of those things I get excited about, and once I've made a reasonable amount of progress, lose interest. Every now and then I latch on to something that really clicks for me.
