Copy iPhoto Library
Here are the steps to make the copy of your iPhoto library. It would be helpful if you print these instructions out since they are longer and a little more involved
 * 1) Quit iPhoto if it is running.
 * 2) Make sure your external drive is connected and turned on. In the Finder, the external drive will show as an orange drive icon in the left pane.
 * 3) Open two Finder windows and position them one on top of the other as shown in the image on the right. (click the image to see it larger.)
 * 4) In the top Finder window, start at your Home folder (the one with the icon of the house and your user name by it) and select the Pictures folder. Inside the Pictures folder you should see a folder called iPhoto Library.
 * 5) In the bottom Finder window, select your external drive. That is where we are copying the iPhoto Library to.
 * 6) Select the iPhoto Library folder from the top Finder window. Drag it to the bottom Finder window. This will start a copy process. How long the copy takes depends on how large your iPhoto library is, but it should take at least several minutes.


 * Now we need to tell iPhoto that you have moved the iPhoto library and where to look for it.**
 * 1) If iPhoto is open, quit it.
 * 2) Go to the Pictures folder of your Home folder.
 * 3) Rename "iPhoto Library" to "iPhoto Library.old". (To rename a file, click the file name once. Pause a second, then click the file name again. The file name will be highlighted in light blue and you can type to rename the file.)
 * 4) Open iPhoto. You will see a dialog box like the one on the right. If you don't see the dialog box, click the iPhoto icon on your Dock. This dialog box likes to hide behind other windows for some reason.
 * 5) There will be two items listed in the scroll box, one called "iPhoto Library" and one called "iPhoto Library.old". Select "iPhoto Library". (This is the one that you moved to the external hard drive.)
 * 6) Click the Choose button.
 * 7) iPhoto will open and you should see your photos.

Ken Burns Effect in Slideshow
To adjust the Ken Burns effect for individual photos in a slideshow:
 * 1) Select the photo you want to adjust.
 * 2) Click the Settings button (looks like a gear) under the photo.
 * 3) Click "This Slide" at the top of the bezel that appears.
 * 4) First you are going to set the Start point for the KB effect. Use the Zoom slider at the bottom right of the iPhoto window to zoom in and out of the photo. Then move the mouse pointer over the image. The mouse pointer changes to a hand. Click and hold the mouse button and pan around the photo around to the desired location. This combination of Zoom and Pan sets the Start Point.
 * 5) Now set the End point of the KB effect. At the bottom of the bezel is a switch that says Start and End. Click on the End side. Now do the same Zoom and Pan technique as described above. When you are finished, you have set the End Point.
