Slideshows can easily be created with Adobe Lightroom, however, you can have more options and media choices if you make your slideshows with Photoshop. I made this set of tutorials to show you how you can use Adobe Photoshop CC to make simple slideshows with just still images or mixed media slideshows that can include animation, video and text.
Here are some of the important steps in the process along with screenshots.

30 High-Quality Images for Sky Replacements in Photoshop or Luminar AI. Check the description below for information about how to use these skies to do sky replacements.
This is a digital product with over 400 high-resolution smoke images in JPG format. They can be used in any image editing program that uses blend modes on layers, such as Photoshop.
Easy to Follow Instructions:
You will need to know the basics of Adobe Photoshop and know how to use layers. If you don’t have these skills please check out my Photoshop course.
You can show or hide layers, Rotate or flip, resize, or change the transparency. Use the eraser on your overlay layer (or mask and brush) to clean something. You can mix & match additional overlays to achieve a unique result.
JPEG format:
1. Place the smoke layer over your photo and set the layer blend mode to SCREEN (after that black background will be invisible).
2. Use the eraser on your overlay layer (or mask and brush) to clean some parts etc.
3. You can mix & match additional overlays to achieve a unique result.
4. Save your photo and finish the work。

How to Use the Content Aware Move Tool in Photoshop CC
New Tool: Boundry Warp in Lightroom CC / Photoshop CC
In a recent Lightroom update, Adobe decided to make major changes to the import process, in order to appeal to a more consumer level user. However, the current Lightroom users were outraged with the performance problems, the removal of important features, and the crashing of Apple computers. Luckily Adobe listened to their customers and created an update called 1015.3 or 6.3 which returned the import process back to normal. It's now safe to update your Lightroom again. This update seems to be stable, but only time will tell since it just came out. Check out the list below to see what else is in this update.
New Camera Support
Lightroom will now import files from the following new cameras: Canon EOS M10, Canon PowerShot G5 X, Canon PowerShot G9 X, Fujifilm X-T1 IR, Leica SL (Typ 601), Sony RX1R II (DSC-RX1RM2). Click here for a list of all cameras supported in Lightroom 6 (and other Lightroom versions. The title says Camera Raw, but the righthand column shows Lightroom support.)
New Tethering Support
Lightroom will now allow you to shoot tethered with the following additional cameras: Canon EOS 5DS, Canon EOS 5DS R, Canon EOS T6i / 750D, Canon EOS T6s / 760D. With your camera connected to your computer via USB, you can automatically import photos into Lightroom as you shoot. Click here for a list of all cameras supported for tethered capture.
