You can use your pictures for a variety of projects, including books, calendars, and greeting cards. In this video, Derrick explains how to start a project in Photos for macOS.
- [Instructor] Photos has always been…pretty strong with projects…and this version of Photos,…Photos for MacOS High Sierra,…even adds a new wrinkle to this capability.…So first let's take a look at what we have within the app.…And so I have a bunch of images here of Dibs.…I'm in the Dibs the Cat album.…(laughs)…And let's say I want to do a slide show.…So I'll just choose the first shot there…and we'll go, oh lets say, all the way to here.…So I'm going to hold down the shift key.…
Now I go up to file, create,…and then I pick which project I want to create.…In this case, let's do a slide show,…but you have all the different projects here.…We'll do slideshow.…Now it picks up the name of the album,…or you can change the name or add a name.…And in this case, we're going to go with a new slideshow,…because that is our only option.…(laughs)…And we'll click okay.…
Now I'm going to go back down here to my projects…and you see that we've added a project,…now we have Dibs the Cat.…(laughs)…That's a pretty funny opening slide there.…
