Give a digital slideshow just like you did with your film projector (and even do things your old projector could never do!)

More and more professional photographers are "going digital" now that camera standards are close to, or even better than, traditional film.  One of the few remaining issues however is for those of us who give slideshows.

There is already a wide range of digital projectors and prices are coming down, but software for controlling slideshows is still mostly aimed at holiday snaps watched on a PC or television.

That's where Slideshow Manager comes in.  Firstly it is aimed at producing the best quality images possible.  Secondly, instead of gimmicky ways to change between images, it concentrates on smooth fades with images gradually blending together.  And thirdly not only can you zoom in on images, but panoramas can be integrated into the show.

Fades Slideshow Manager shows pictures in sequence, just like a slideshow given with slides and a slide projector.  However unlike a slide projector you don't have to have two projectors in order to fade between pictures.

Panoramas Not only can you fade between pictures, you can fade into and out of panoramic photos, which scroll smoothly across the screen.

Zoom You can zoom in on any picture.  Just click your chosen point and Slideshow Manager will zoom in on this.

Scaling There's no need to edit your original pictures if they are larger than the current screen size as Slideshow Manager will automatically scale each image.

Setting up Selecting and arranging the pictures for your slideshow is easy as you drag and drop pictures where you want them in the show.

Automatic operation Having chosen the pictures, and arranged them in the order you want them to appear in your slideshow, you can save the setup and replay the slideshow, this time running entirely automatically.  Each picture can have its own transition type and display time.

Sound Music or any soundtrack can easily be synchronised to the slideshow 

Monitor resolution  Slideshow Manager is designed for monitors set to either SVGA or XGA resolution - the two standards for generally available digital projectors, but will operate also at higher resolutions

Release 2 adds support for tif and png files, a cache for thumbnail images to make loading even faster, plus directional and dynamic speed control  of panoramas as well as even smoother scrolling.
