how do i create a slideshow out of a photo book? It's easy in iPhoto, how does it work in aperture?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
In Aperture how did you create book? Project, Album etc. Regardless, go to File new and open slideshow. The rest is pretty straight forward. You could use the help window select aperture help and type in slideshow. Have your source for book open. Good luck.
That will create a regular Aperture slideshow, Win355.
What surge is probably looking for, is a slideshow exactly like in iPhoto. In iPhoto, while browsing a book, you can simply press the slideshow button and see the pages of your book as a slideshow. I do not know of any method in Aperture do achieve the same. The closest would be to create a PDF preview of the book and to view this preview in full screen mode in Preview. (iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture)
Thanks for info really haven't used iPhoto in years. Only have done books in Aperture.
Taking what Léonie stated I noticed my books created in Aperture will open as created and play in iPhoto slideshow for Books. iPhoto version 9.5.1 may be a easy solution for you. No conversion etc. needed in fact my complete Aperture Lib opened right in iPhoto. Nice to know, I feel somewhat foolish not having used iPhoto in so long.
@win355: this is interesting, it doesn't work with me, i mean, the books i have created in aperture will not be shown in iPhoto. how do you manage to see them in iPhoto? where do they show up? The other way round works well: iphoto book are seen in aperture.
Well, as I mentioned I haven't used iPhoto in years. So I have a new 27" iMac with Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and Upgraded to Aperture 3.5.1 and had to convert Libraries for Aperture 3.5.1. So after reading your question and Léonie info. I opened iPhoto and there was the Library I was using in Aperture now in iPhoto a little different, projects were now events. I did nothing but open iPhoto. So I open the book I had made in Aperture, it was under Projects in iPhoto as a book. Hit slideshow button and it played. They slideshow is a nice feature. In Aperture the book comes up in a new category iPhoto print projects the original is still where it was but you are you can not edit an iPhoto print project in Aperture no big deal. This was by accident. Could this be a look a Photos of the future? The original book is fine in Aperture.
