Click the Save Tool if you want to save the new album. Archive your files by copying them to a different location The "Copy Image(s) To" command lets you easily make backups of your files on floppy disk or removable media, without changing the thumbnails or original locations of the files.

Open the album containing the files you want to present in a slide show. Tip: To select more than one image for your slide show, hold down your control key while clicking different images. Note: When adding audio to your slide show, you will need to choose one of the following options: · Play Single Audio File - includes a selected WAV audio file and synchronizes the slide show to match the length of the audio. This is best for adding background music or narration that doesn't need to match exactly to any particular slide. · Play Attached Audio Files - includes any WAV files attached to images. · No Audio - ignores any attached audio files and includes only the pictures. Once you see the Select Destination window, specify where you want to save your slide show - either to a disk, blank writeable CD-ROM or another directory. Your slide show will be saved to the specified location as an EXE file. Copies of the slide show contents (the image files) will also be created and saved to the same directory. Tip: PhotoBase will save one slide show and its contents per directory. Therefore, to create multiple slide shows, you should make separate directories for each show and name them accordingly. Tip: Add each slide show to your "Hotlink" bar for quick access to all your presentations. Create a Video Postcard Design digital "postcards" containing video, audio, images and text. Follow the instructions on selecting a template, writing a postcard message and selecting your video (AVI, MPEG or MOV) file.
