Specifying the slide layout
Choose a slideshow template
Slideshow templates provide a quick way to define the look and behavior of your presentation. They specify whether
the slides have borders, drop shadows, text, a logo, and the color or image behind each photo.
Lightroom comes with several templates you can select from the Template Browser. Moving the pointer over a template
name in the Template Browser of the Slideshow module displays a template preview at the top of the left panel.
You can customize the settings in a slideshow template using the controls in the panels on the right side of the Slideshow
module or by moving elements in the Slide Editor view. You can save your modifications as a custom template, which
appears in the Template Browser list.
Premade slideshow templates
Caption And Rating Centers the photo on a gray background with rating stars and caption metadata visible.
Crop To Fill Displays the photos full screen. Portions of the images (especially vertical images) might be cropped to fill
the screen’s aspect ratio.
Default Centers the photo on a gray background with rating stars, filename, and your identity plate visible.
EXIF Metadata Centers photos on a black background with rating stars, EXIF information, and your identity plate
visible.
Widescreen Displays the full frame of each photo, adding black bars to fill the aspect ratio of the screen.
Preview and select a slideshow template
• To preview a template, position the pointer over the template name in the Template Browser panel. The template
preview displays the currently selected slide with the template options applied.
• To select a template, click the template name in the Template Browser panel.
Specify how photos fill a slide’s image cell
By default, slideshow templates (except Crop To Fill) scale photos so that the entire image fits within the slide’s image
cell. The slide background shows in the spaces where the aspect ratio of the photos and the image cells don’t match. You
can set an option so that all photos completely fill the space in the image cells. When this option is selected, portions
of the photos (especially vertical images) might be cropped to fill the image cell’s aspect ratio.
❖ In the Options panel of the Slideshow module, select Zoom To Fill Frame.
Add a border or cast shadow to a slideshow image
To make photos in a slideshow stand out from the background, add a border or a cast shadow to each photo. Your
adjustments are displayed in the Slide Editor view.
1 In the Template Browser of the Slideshow module, select any template except Crop To Fill.
2 In the Options panel, do any of the following:
• To add a border, select Stroke Border. Click the color box on the right to open the color pop-up window and
specify a border color.
