Digital Slideshows Made Easy: Prime-Time Slideshows Skip the reruns and show your photos on TV instead  One of the most convenient ways to present a slideshow is on your television. Invite friends, gather the family around, grab some popcorn and you're ready to wow them with your best shots. There are several ways to put your slideshow on television, ranging from the very easy to more sophisticated shows that require you to do some prep work in the computer. |
Digital Slideshows Made Easy: Projecting Slideshows Get out the screen and turn down the lights—now the classic slideshow can be updated with modern digital projectors  The slideshow in a darkened room is a long tradition with photographers. Of course, slideshows range from the interminable travel shows from untalented relatives to spectacular programs using two projectors showing images that dissolve from one to another, all synced to music. |
Digital Slideshows Made Easy: Computer Slideshows The old slideshow with music and titles has been reborn in the computer—it’s easier and faster to create with more possibilities  For me, one of the greatest joys of photography is sharing my work with others, and a favorite way of doing this has long been through multimedia slideshows. For years, I've used multiple projectors and a dissolve unit to set my slideshows to music. Putting the show together and then syncing it to the music took a great deal of time and effort. |
Trade Tricks: Black-And-White From Color Shoot in color first for the best B&W image  Black-and-white photography still mostly comes from black-and-white film, and remains a viable, challenging way to photograph. For best results in the computer, scan from the black-and-white or color negative; then, depending on how your scanner works, remove the color in your image-processing program. You also can shoot black-and-white directly with many digital cameras. |

Trade Tricks: Getting Coverage Use professional motion picture techniques to improve your videos  Though it's easy to believe that a movie is totally made on a location or set, a film actually comes together in the editing room. The shoot produces the raw material needed for the final result, but it's the editor who puts the pieces together into a seamless, interesting package. Yet, no matter how talented the editor, his or her skills mean little if he or she doesn't have enough to work with, and this applies to editing your own videos, too. |

Trade Tricks: Getting It Straight Correcting distortion of architecture in the computer  Photographers know that wide-angle lenses sometimes cause distortion. Straight lines appear curved, especially if they're close to the edges of the frame. Sometimes, the effect is desirable, and other times, it's not. |
Shooting Blurs Use your digital camera to capture the power of motion  There's power in movement. While a sharp action image can be dramatic and beautiful, a blurry photograph that captures the energy of a moment can be equally as stunning. Blur softens the details of an image and, although normally we try to avoid this when creating a shot, it becomes an invaluable tool when interpreting movement. |
