Photo SlideShow Maker 3.5.0.0

Just in case you do not know what a slideshow is, we’ve called upon the wisdom of Wikipedia to lend a helping hand. According to the popular online encyclopedia, a slideshow is a “display of a series of chosen pictures, which is done for artistic or instructional purposes.” Get it? A bunch of pictures presented in sequence – that’s what a slideshow is.

If you want to create a slideshow of your own, you need to get the right piece of software for the task. You could for example get the NeSoft-developed Photo SlideShow Maker. The application weighs in at little over 3MB, so downloading it onto your Windows-powered computer in no time at all (especially if you’re one a high-speed internet connection).

I say “Windows-powered computer” because Photo SlideShow Maker is meant to be used on the Microsoft-developed operating system. In this regard the application will work (or should work) just fine on all Windows versions.

With Photo SlideShow Maker you can create your own photo slideshows. The application provides support for a variety of image formats - jpeg, .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, .pcx, .psd, .tif, .tiff, .tga. You can use the application to add a soundtrack to the slideshow. In this regard Photo SlideShow Maker provides support for various audio formats - .mp3, .wma, .wav, .wave, .midi, .mid, .snd, .au. The slideshow will not simply jump from one image to another. You can use various transition effects to make your slideshow interesting to the audience.

Once you are done creating your slideshow, you can save your project in a special format that you can open and edit at a later time. Or you can create compact standalone executable file that you can take with you.

Photo SlideShow Maker is an easy to use, powerful tool to create nice looking slideshows. The only downside is that it is not freeware.
