Creating an Album
 
The service Slideshow allows the possibility to present a large amount of pictures in a demonstrative context. Each picture can be commented on individually. Various display options are offered (thumbnail-preview, zooming, scrolling …).

1 step – Creating a slideshow:
At first you define the title and the start picture (thumbnail) of the slideshow. The remaining pictures you will upload in step 2.
1) Click on the options area (left frame) on the link "create slideshow".
2) Fill out the fields in the Input mask. In the field "starting picture", enter the File data of the starting picture (the maximum size of the starting picture id 80x64).
3) Click on "next >>" to continue.
4) Choose the permissions for this slideshow.
5) Click, on "preview >>".

2 step – Adding pictures:
You can either upload multiple images (max 50) at the same time via a zip file, or upload them individually one by one.
