Where to Get More Styles

Slide Styles can be really handy and quite addicting to use in your shows
so you’re probably going to want to get more of them.

One option is to purchase Style Packs. Photodex offers library add-ons of
nothing but high quality Slide Styles that you can purchase. These add-
ons can be downloaded or shipped to you on disc. You can find more
details about Style Packs on the Photodex website (www.photodex.com).

You can also find more styles from other vendors on the Internet. Try some
web searches for terms like “ProShow styles” or something similar to find
other packs available online.

Photodex Style Packs come with their own built-in installation process, but
for third party styles, use the Add button found in the Effects (FX) window
to add the style to your library. You can also double-click on a PXS file (.pxs
is the file extension for slide styles in Windows) to have ProShow
automatically install it for you. Adding styles is covered in more detail a
little later in this chapter.

Making Changes after Applying a Style

Applying a style isn’t necessarily the end of your work on that slide. It’s very
possible that the style you picked doesn’t do exactly what you want to see
on that slide. If that’s the case you can always make changes.

The best thing about a slide style beyond the fact that it does most of the
heavy lifting for you, is that it’s completely flexible. You can change
whatever you want after you’ve applied the style.

Is there a layer that moves from right to left and you’d rather see it move
from left to right? Select the layer, go to the Effects tab, and change the
way it moves.
