We're actually going to do that, not by changing the duration. It's moving really quickly though, you don't really have time to see the photos. If we view this in the preview panel, you'll see that we go right through the photos. I don't want to animate photo five because I want it to sit there at the end of the slideshow. Photo two will fade out and then you'll see photo three and so forth. What's going to happen is photo one will be sitting there and it's going to fade out and go away. I'm going to select the first four photos not the last one, and I'm going to apply the animation fade out to those. We're going to basically go through the stack from top to bottom. Then that displays photo two and so forth. That's going to make it a lot easier to animate them, make it easier to select them, and then an apply an animation to them that will create our slideshow. The important thing is that your photos are all in one layer. There are a couple of different ways you can approach this. I'll close the animation panel and we'll turn to the next page where the photos aren't animated. Let me show you the way that I set that up. You can see that the photos are cycling through one by one until we get to the last photo which now sits on the page. These are some photos I took to a recent trip to Turkey. I'll show you this slide show in the preview panel. One of the things that people ask me about InDesign animations most frequently is can you make a slideshow? The answer is yes, you can and it's really pretty simple to do.
