# Create a slide show

You use the Slide Show dialog box to create slide shows. At any time, you can see a preview of the slide show by clicking Full Screen Preview in the top bar of the screen. You can also click Play to preview the slide show.

1. In the Photo Browser, select the photos you’d like to use in the slide show.
2. Select Slide Show on the Create tab.
3. When the Slide Show Preferences dialog box appears, you can either accept the default settings (you can change most options later) or customize the options. Then click OK to open the Slide Show dialog box.

   All the tools for creating your slide show are in the Slide Show dialog box. The photos you chose to use in the slide show appear at the bottom of the screen.
