Controlling the Slideshow

While the program is displaying images in slideshow mode you can perform the following actions with the keyboard and the mouse:

The Space bar will open the Lab window where you can capture the image shown saving it for later use and it also allows managing the effect active at the moment.

The Enter key will open the settings window where you can configure details of the operation of the program

The keys ← → (left right arrow) will stop the animation. A slider will be shown at the top allowing to forward or rewind the animation of the image. It can be moved either with the mouse or with the left/right arrow keys. This can be useful when the image is transitioning from one effect to another. With the slider or the arrow keys you can fine tune the exact moment you like of the mix of the two effects and then capture the image.

The keys Control Alt or Shift combined with the arrow keys will also produce movements in the animation:

• Control + ← → will move to the start or the end of the current segment.
• Alt + ← → moves the animation in steps of one second.
• Shift + ← → moves the animation in small increments (smaller than the ones with the arrow keys alone so you can finely select the exact moment)

You can go backwards to previous images: Press Control+← so the animation goes to the beginning of the current photo. The press the left arrow key and this will move to the previous image. From here you can go back and or resume the animation.

Pressing R while paused will resume the animation at full speed.

When using the arrow keys to stop the animation the program shows a slider. The keys Control+P will pause the animation but not showing the slider. While the program is paused the arrow keys combined with Control, Alt or Shift will move through the animation as described above. Pressing Control+P again (or R) will resume the animation

V: Will display the current image without the effect.

Pressing the right mouse button while the program is running will open a popup menu that has the most usual options and that is a good reminder of the corresponding keyboard shortcuts.

The Settings window has several tabs, each can be accessed directly by pressing the initial letter of each tab: General, Effects, Image selection, Music, Buy and About

F1 will open the help

The Esc key or Control+W will stop the program.
