6. Tap and hold any thumbnail image and slide your finger left or right to
quickly scroll through your pictures.
7. Lift your finger off the screen when you’ve found a picture you want to view.
Creating a Slideshow
Viewing pictures by yourself can be fun, but it may be more enjoyable to show your
pictures to others. With your iPad, you can create a slideshow to display pictures
one at a time, with various transitions between each picture or even background
music.
You can create a slideshow in two ways. First, you can create a slideshow
within the Photos app. This can be handy for showing off your latest vacation pic-
tures or pictures of your child’s birthday party.
A second way to create a slideshow is to turn your iPad into an electronic
picture frame, which can display pictures when you’re not using your iPad, such as
when you’ve put your iPad in a recharging dock.
Making a Slideshow Within the Photos App
Creating a slideshow within the Photo app can be handy for impromptu presenta-
tions. To create a slideshow, follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Photos. The Photos screen appears.
2. Tap a tab at the top of the screen, such as Photos or Albums. If you choose
the Photos tab, thumbnail images of all your pictures appear (shown earlier
in Figure22-1). Otherwise, different groups of your pictures appear, which
you’ll need to tap to display all the pictures stored inside.
3. Tap Slideshow in the upper-right corner of
the screen. A Slideshow Options window
appears, as shown in Figure 22-5.
4. (Optional) Tap the Play Music on/off switch.
If you turned the switch to read ON, tap the
Music button to choose from a list of the
songs you have stored in the Music app.
5. Tap Transitions and then tap a transition,
such as Cube or Ripple.
6. Tap Start Slideshow. Your slideshow starts
playing using all the pictures stored in the
group you selected earlier. The slideshow
automatically ends after it has displayed all
of your pictures or when you tap the screen.
Turning Your iPad into an Electronic Picture Frame
Apple sells an optional recharging dock where you can prop up your iPad in a
basethat holds it upright. If you have this optional dock or if you just like the idea
of propping your iPad up while it’s plugged in, you can turn your iPad into an elec-
tronic picture frame and display pictures stored in the Photos app.
