Slideshow

A trip's photos on the TV, with the place and the date in the corner and music under them: chosen in four tabs, seen in the preview as it will look, started with one click.

Start it with F5 — in the viewer from the picture shown, in the manager from the folder or the pictures chosen — or set it up first: ⋯ → View → Slideshow settings… in the viewer, ☰ → Slideshow… in the manager, or right-click a folder → Slideshow…. The settings window opens free, so you can see all it does; the show itself is Pro.

On the right of every tab, the preview shows the show as it will look on the screen, with your settings, picture after picture.

Pictures

1. The tabs. Pictures, Look, Text on screen, Music.
2. Which. The ones chosen, this folder, the pictures shown (a search's results), or with the folders inside.
3. Order. As shown, by date taken, or shuffled.
4. Each picture, in seconds.
5. Panoramas longer, moving along. A wide panorama fills the screen's height and glides from one end to the other, as long as it needs.
6. Start again at the end — or close after the last picture.
7. Screen. This one, or another — a TV or a projector — by its number.
8. The preview, with its arrows to go through the pictures.
9. How many, and how long the show will take.
10. Start.

Look

1. Pictures at a time. One; two side by side; a mosaic; or prints on a table.
2. How a picture fits. Whole; filling the screen; filling it only if little is cut; or at its own size.
3. Don't enlarge small pictures. A small old photo stays sharp in the middle instead of blurry on the whole screen.
4. Around the picture. Black, graphite, white, wood, a colour of yours, the picture itself blurred, or its own colour.
5. Change between pictures. Tick the changes to use — nine to start with: crossfade, through black, push, zoom, cube, circle, blinds, card flip, film burn — and More… holds 172 more in 13 groups: 3D, light, stripes, film, zoom and the rest. They follow in turn or at random, quick, normal or slow; none ticked, the pictures change at once. Under them, Pan & zoom slowly: each picture drifts and grows a little while it is shown.

Text on screen

1. Ready-made. Clean (nothing), Travel (town, country, date), Photographer (title; camera, shot and lens), Album (title, stars, date and town), Everything — then change any of it.
2. Where. Six places round the picture: click one, then tick what goes there.
3. In this order. What the chosen place shows, top to bottom; × takes one away.
4. What. When — date, time, day of the week, how long ago; where — town, country, region, coordinates, altitude; the camera or phone, lens, shutter, aperture, ISO, focal length; the file's name, folder, size and format; yours — stars, label, title, description, tags, author; and during the show a counter, the clock and the music playing.

Further down: the text's size, on the picture with a shadow or on a glass plate, shown always, for the first seconds or only when paused, and the camera as an icon, a name or both. Places come from the photos' GPS, worked out on your PC.

Music

1. Play music. Your own files: MP3, M4A, WMA, WAV, FLAC.
2. The tracks. Add a folder… or Add files…; how many, and how long they play.
3. Shuffle the tracks.
4. Volume.
5. Fit the pictures to the music. Each picture's time chosen so the pictures end with the music.
