Title: Sorting photos for slideshow-help!
Post by: stevestrickman on April 24, 2007, 10:40:24 pm

I am making my first slideshow in LR and want to change the order of the photos.  I looked for help and it said to click and drag to sort.  I cannot get that to work. Can anyone help?

Another question I have regarding slide shows is the setting of default or wide screen.  Can I set some photos to wide screen and some with margins in the same slideshow? Or do they all have to be the same?  Thanks for any suggestions.

Make a "Collection" and drag sort the images in the order you want them. Then go to Slideshow.

No...it's one template/show.

Thank you Jeff.  I tried it by putting them in a quick collection, but the order is determined by the sorting tab.  I cannot find a way to put them in the order I want.

If I export them to Bridge and sort them in Bridge, can I then export them back to LR in the new order and play them in the slideshow module? I have CS3, but it is not installed.  Will it work in CS2?

Thanks again.  I need to have this slideshow finished by Thursday night. Carol Strickman

No...not a Quick Collection. . .a named real collection. Then you can order the images in any order.
