Lastly, one of many features that iPhoto 5 prides itself of is intelligent and advanced slideshow feature. First off, slideshows are separate from albums. Therefore, you can modify contents of one slideshow, like maybe add a few images from another album, without affecting albums themselves. And since iPhoto 5 supports MPEG-4, you can create slideshows consisting of both still images and video clips. It also has a lot of fantastic transitions, which you can control speed and direction of, and even allows you to adjust slide duration on a per-image basis. You might be thinking, a good soundtrack would be lovely too – but setting perfect timing may be difficult to achieve. With iPhoto 5, you wouldn’t have to worry about that as it has a tight integration with iTunes. Simply select a song or an entire playlist from your iTunes library and iPhoto will do math for you and synchronize your music with your slideshow! Now how’s that for a total viewing experience? Your family and friends might think that you had a professional do all these creative work for you!
