Image Browser

The Image Browser lets you browse and select images from various sources, like iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, or any Finder folder containing image files. Choose an image source in the popup or table view at the top of the Image Browser, then select some images and drag them to the Storyboard/Timeline or Stage to add them to your slideshow.

Click the Images icon in the Toolbar. The table at the top lists your iPhoto, Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, or any Finder folder containing image files.

iPhoto albums are a great way to organize images you might want to use for a slideshow. Choose the album from the table (or popup menu), then select all images in the browser and drag them to the Storyboard or Timeline.

Live Searching

If you want to search for specific images, type a word into the search field below the Image browser. Searching works best if your image files have been given a caption in iPhoto or Aperture, which is more descriptive than the filenames assigned by your digital camera.

Get Info

Click on the small Get Info button or choose Get Info from the context menu in the browser to get information about a selected image.

Quick Look

Select an image and press the Quick Look button or press Y or choose the Quick Look command from the context menu in the browser to open the Quick Look panel. You can then quickly preview images stepping through them with the arrow keys. Press the Quick Look button or Y again to close the Quick Look panel.
