I rather like a couple of the new Slideshow styles but can't quite work out where to Click Finish ...
The User Guide states:

Advanced Editing: click this option if you'd like to perform some more
advanced editing on your slideshow in the Edit window.
Note: if you select the Advanced Editing option, the Slideshow Creator adds
your created slideshow to the timeline in the Edit window as a combined video file.
If you would like to view each individual slide/photo in the slideshow for advanced
editing, just right-click on the file in the timeline and then select Show
Individual Photos.
11. Click Finish.

However, when I Rt Click on the created slideshow file in the timeline to view individual photo's, it seems to revert right back to where I started (before creating a Slideshow) and after any Advanced Editing I can't find any 'Finish' to click.
Anyone know the answer/ is my sight getting that bad

Hi Ron -

After the slideshow is built & you click "Advanced Editing" you're returned to slideshow the timeline. With it selected, you have a couple of options:

► Right click "Show Individual Photos" undoes the slideshow... useful if you want to add or remove images.
► Click "Slideshow" & you can start again
► Click "Customise" & the same template is retained but you can tweak whatever's tweakable.

Cheers - Tony

That's what I concluded Tony ... thanks.
Seems the 'instructions' are somewhat 'slack' as it suggests that you can do Advanced Editing and not 'loose your place in the book'.

Sometimes the instructions take a bit of "reading into".

What I take "Advanced Editing" to mean is that once the slideshow is built & back in the timeline, it can be modified in some of the same ways as other media - split - move - copy - paste etc

Hei Tony,
That's the way I Edited in PD10. Reading the PD11 book made me think that they had introduced new possibilities in Advanced Slideshow Editing. No problem ... will continue to enjoy.
