Finder Slideshows allow you to create and view images as a slideshow and kick them off directly from the Mac OS X Finder.  If the image size is large enough, you'll be able to see the images full-screen.
Creating a Slideshow is Easy
Use Finder to navigate to a folder that has an image or several images.

Highlight the files you would like to include in the slideshow.  To select more than one item please review the How To Select and Highlight Items guide (this guide is pending).  Once the items have been selected, press the Control key and then click on any of the selected images.

Click Slideshow from the pop-up menu, sit back and watch.  The screen will go black to start things off and then present the images one by one.

You can take charge of the Slideshow by using the various buttons that appear on the bottom of the screen to do things such as:
  • Move back to a previous image
  • Stop on an image
  • Resume the slideshow
  • Move to the next image
  • Create an Index Sheet
  • Fit the image to the screen
  • Add the image to iPhoto
  • Close the slideshow
 
You can exit at any time by pressing the Esc key and you will be taken to the Finder window from where you initiated the slideshow.
