Preserve every special moment of the Spring 2009

Nowadays in the digital world, we all have zillions of digital photos on our harddisk. Most of us will never use them after taken these photos. So why not collecting some favourite ones and make a photo slideshow with your own creativity? You needn't bunchs of software to make a photo slideshow, just use some photo slideshow software. I'll recommend you three software I've used before in the following article for you to choose the best slideshow software.

 

Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder          $69.95

Intro:
This is a powerful yet easy-to-use photo slideshow software to create stunning dvd slideshow and home movies with photos, video clips and music. I like the transition effects very much and always use the effects to make hollywood-style movies.

Target Users:
Beginners, photography amateurs, all family users

Pros:
1. 200+ eye-catching 2D/3D transition effects and Ken-Burn effects.
2. 160+ free DVD menu templates comes with Full registered version to match any occasions.
3. All-in-one burning tool to generate high-quality DVDs for watching on TV.

4. Quick and helpful customer service.

Cons:

1.Can't burn more than 1 DVD one time. But it's ok because this is a DVD authoring software not a burning software. Besides it allows you to save the DVD files on your computer, then you can burn any copies you like using burning tool.

2. The 160 DVD menu templates are not enough for me. I like spending a little more time to customize a personalized menu in the software.

Proshow Gold         $89.95

Intro:
I must say this software is kind of hard for me. It's too professional to use. With tons of feature options can be used to make a professional slideshow but you should spend days on it.

Target Users:

Photography enthusiasm

Pros:

1. Customization for motion effect. Worth a try.
2. Offer nearly every feature but some of them we won't use.
3. Share online by uploading to the program’s sharing site.

Cons:

1. Single-screen approach and unique terminology make it hard to learn, at least for me.
2. Lack of tutorials and help manuals.

Google’s Picasa

Intro:
Picasa is a free software download from Google that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. But it lacks most of features that you need to use for making photo slideshow.

Target Users:
Teenage Beginners

Pros:

1. Locate and organise all the photos on your computer.
2. Make photo slideshow and collage with a few simple clicks.
3. Share your photos with others through email.

Cons:

1. Can't burn photo slideshows to DVD
2. Only one effect to make photo slideshow and collage. No creativity and personality. Everyone make nearly the same photo slideshows and collages.

Summary:

In short, I feel Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder is the best slideshow software if you’re looking to make simple, good-looking slideshows. With additional features, quick and useful help support and results that are more professional and more ways to share its slideshows, Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder would be a nice choice to reckon with.
