Edit Tiger's slideshow transitions

qtz_composerHere's a cool trick from Hardmac. Tiger allows you to view a slideshow of images directly from the Finder. Just select the images you'd like to view, control click (or right click) on them and choose "Slideshow" from the contextual menu. A slideshow begins, with a cross dissolve transition. Wouldn't it be fun to change that transition? Now you can.

Using Quartz Composer, you can edit the transitions that Tiger uses when you launch a slideshow in the Finder. First, make a copy of SlideshowTransition.qtz (but you knew that, right?) which lives in /System /Library /PrivateFrameworks /Slideshow.framework /Versions /A /Resources. Open that file with Quartz Composer and get to it. Let us know what you come up with.

Hardmac also notes that you can do the same with Photo Booth by modifying Photo Booth.app/Contents/Resources/Video.qtz.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
