Slideshow Key Commands

The slideshow key commands work during the operation of a slideshow, as long as the slideshow window is the frontmost window.

? displays help. Each keyword is a parameter name and can be selected with the first letter. Then use - and = for increment and decrement, or _ and + for larger increment and decrement.

Select a parameter by typing it's first letter, then change the value of the parameter with the - = _ + keys. Below are the parameters.

interval dissolve overlap scale zoom effect black filename title pause random loop volume

Some of these parameters can be changed in the Slideshow Setup dialog.

Some parameters, such as pause or title, change automatically when you hit the first letter. Others require that you press additional keys to change the value.

To switch in and out of full screen mode for the slideshow window, use Command-Option-F, even while the slideshow is running, or use Command + or Command - to make it larger or smaller.

To save a slideshow to a file on your computer with all of its parameters, use Save As in the File menu. The slideshow file stores only the folder location of the images, not the list of images or the images themselves.
