__**Introduction to Mac Applications**__ Integrated with several apps. Can share to Twitter, flicker, Facebook, etc. Can send photos directly from photos. You do not have to export and mail them through email. To send a slideshow--choose your photos, click create, and then select slideshow (other choices are book, card, calendar). Since I created something, you can put a text slide in. Click on a photo and then text slide will be inserted on a slide before that picture. Then you can export that slide show and choose which device you want to share it too. Remember to save.
