It does exactly what it says, good quality slideshows in a matter of minutes, its easy to use and produces satisfactory results. Their quick start movie launches as soon as you have opened the application and it is well worth looking at before you start to create a slide show.
One nice little touch we liked was the ability to customise the transitions in a variety of ways, the reflection feature is also nice and definitely looks better with a black background, which can be changed in the settings pop out panel of the user interface.
However I find these days that a lot of slideshow applications, have the very basics which include transitions, but it would be nice to see some more innovative ideas that would make this stand out from the rest, For example some slideshow templates like what used to be featured in Apple’s iMovie 06, I find that when you chose a transition or customized the transition the image and the background transitioned instead of just the image, with a surrounding template this would look a lot nicer, also some image enhancement tools would also be helpful, photo clip art to apply to a certain area of the image would be nice, Inclusion titling and text narration would also be good to see included.
All in all this is an excellent application that will get your images on the web for people to view, it has some nice features embedded in a well thought out interface, but unfortunately for me not enough to set the world on fire.
