Claim Text:
1. A method performed by a processing system, the method comprising: generating a between-slide transition between a first slide including a first region of interest in a first digital image and a second slide including a second region of interest in a second digital image, the first and the second regions of interest including similar content, and the between-slide transition including at least one intermediate slide formed from one of the first and the second digital images with a corresponding one of the first and the second regions of interest, which includes the similar content, being a focal point and a transition effect being applied to a remainder of the one of the first and the second digital images; generating the between-slide transition with an amount of distortion of the transition effect, as applied to the remainder of the one of the first and the second digital images, varying with time during display of the first slide, the at least one intermediate slide, and the second slide as part of a slideshow; and generating the between-slide transition such that a strength of the transition effect between pixels in the first and the second digital images depends on the distance of the pixels to the first and the second regions of interest, wherein the at least one intermediate slide includes at least a first intermediate slide formed from the first digital image and a second intermediate slide formed from the second digital image, wherein the transition effect, as applied to the remainder of the one of the first and the second digital images, is first applied in an increasing manner to the first intermediate slide and thereafter applied in a decreasing manner to the second intermediate slide.
