Description

Creating computer slide shows is very easy with MySlideShow. This simple and straightforward software application offers its users a comprehensive toolkit for making bright, memorable and esthetically pleasing slide shows and photo albums. The program is quite elementary - select pictures, indicate the desired sequence (or choose random order), apply special transition effects, and you get a professionally looking slide show with one button click. Conveniently, photo albums, thumbnail web galleries, screensavers, video CDs and DVDs can be created with the same program!

MySlideShow is jam-packed with helpful features, meaning you will never have to buy any additional software. For example, MySlideShow is capable of adding and editing slide captions (it's possible to use EXIF and IPTC tags), changing picture orientation, synchronizing slide shows with music and sound effects. All options can be applied to individual images or entire sets of pictures; the slide show can go on in automatic and manual modes, making it possible to use MySlideShow for creating presentations. The Slide Editor in the MySlideShow Gold allows you to place additional text boxes, web links, small images, Flash animations and video clips on slides.

Importantly, the program is capable of packing slide shows into standalone executable and screensaver files (.exe and .scr respectively), thus making it very easy to distribute them. The Video Generator plug-in allows you to burn VCD, SVCD, DVD video discs and create VCD, SVCD, DVD, WMV and DivX video files from your slide show projects. These features are just a small fraction of what the software has to offer its buyers. And best of all, anyone can try MySlideShow free of charge.

The program offers unique features for photographers who want to distribute their executable slide show files to end users. You can create trial slide shows which expire after N days, X tries or on a specific date. Then your customers can order the fully-functional slide show and/or unlock the trial slide show with a password you send.

Registered users can distribute MySlideShow presentations (slide shows, albums, web galleries or video files) for free. No royalty fee is required. The Business License is required if you want to create and distribute MySlideShow presentations for commercial purposes.

What users are saying

Congratulations.
 
I am a photographer and produce portfolio CDs for my clients. On part of the CD I include a slide show of the portfolio including music (copyright to me of course) and this is the best slide show generator I have come across. It is intuitive and versatile - the Help file was hardly needed at all.
 
My Slide Show does everything anyone would ever need in a slide show.
 
Congratulations again,
