View Photos & Home Movies

   The Apple TV is a great way to show off your favorite photos in the
   living room. With iCloud Photos, you can see photos and videos on the
   big screen as soon as you take them. [4]The Flickr App lets you browse
   any Flickr user's photos. Of course, the Apple TV can also display
   photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library, or from any folder on your
   computer. Then, you can use photos from any of these sources to
   [5]Customize the Screen Saver or to [6]Make Slideshows.

   Note: Since the current versions of iPhoto and Aperture can share the
   same library, everything I say about iPhoto in this chapter also
   applies to Aperture.

   Home movies are equally great on the Apple TV. I'll show you how to
   [7]AirPlay Photos & Videos directly from your iOS devices and even view
   iMovie projects in [8]The iMovie Theater App.
