created templates. Just click the arrow to the left of each to
expand the selection and mouse-over each to see the result in
the Preview window above.8 Last in the Slideshow options pane are the Preview and
Play buttons. The Preview button will run through the
slideshow, including the music and any graphical additions and
intro panes you’ve added, within the main Lightroom interface.
