Power Presentation
When you think of presentations, you think of Powerpoint. Well, even though Microsoft has made a great presentation application that anyone can immediately use, it may not be the best option for photographers, or just about anyone who wants to create a slideshow of his photos.
Well, Adobe has done a good (and logical) thing by integrating a bit of PDF support into Photoshop. So all you need to really work on, is getting your photos (or slides) ready. The photos could be in any image format that Photoshop supports, so you're not limited by restrictions.
Once you have your images ready, just place them in a folder for easy access. Then start Photoshop CS3 and click on File > Automate > PDF Presentation to open the Presentation config window.
Here on, it's pretty much self explanatory. Use the browse buttons to locate the files and use the check boxes below to select the information you want to display along with the images.
Since you're making a self-running presentation rather than a regular PDF document, make sure to select Presentation in Save As.
As soon as you do that, you get to use the Presentation Options below, like the time to display each frame (or image), as well as the transition effects between frames.
Now click the Save button, and select the destination of your PDF file, after which, you'll get the final window where you can fine tune your presentation's settings. For highest compatibility, I suggest you leave these settings as they are.
And there you have it, in a few seconds depending on the amount of images you selected, your presentation should be ready.
