Creating full-screen photo slide shows with music
I'm looking for software package for Windows XP that will allow me to
create a photo-show with music. Recommendations? I've tried a couple of different image programs (Microsoft, HP) but none creates what I want. I really like the way my images look with Micosoft's Windows Picture and Fax Viewer because it shows images in full-screen mode at the best image density possible, but doesn't offer anything in the way of helping you tell a story. I'd like to be able to create a high-resoultion full-screen photo-show that also coordinates subsets of slides with tracks of music, that lets you build a story by setting the order in which images display and by showing captions and text balloon overlays. The programs that create VCDs seem to only want to use a lower resolution image of the original photo, probably for purpose of displaying on the TV screen. I don't care about creating a VCD, but I do care about sharing with other Windows users, and maybe Mac users. Thanks, Tom Doster |

I use MS PowerPoint for just this purpose. I'm sure there is software out there specifically for this but I've found PowerPoint more then adequate. I can resize images, control transitions, create affects, add in music, work with transition timing and slide timing, add text and titles, create just about any overlay I want, add animations, and lots more. PP also has a packager and a free viewer (downloadable from MS website) so you can distribute you slide show on DVD or CD. It also has a translate to web feature that will create a web based version of you slide show. The only draw back? It's MS software. ;-) -- Rob |
