 Looks easy to use, but it's not, 2003-12-29
At first glance this software looks easy to use: drag and drop your photos, and viola, you have a slideshow. But the software is not at all user friendly so you end up spending your whole time trying to figure it out. I spent my first 15 minutes just trying to find the browser button so I could upload some photos! Turns out it was a miniscule obscure button about the size of a fingernail sliver. The manual is useless because it tells you to consult the help section, and the help section is a copy of the manual. The "Create CD/DVD" part of the software is even more confusing. You end up resorting to clicking on everything in sight to see what happens, and then you have to wait and wait because the software is so slow. I started wondering if I was having problems with my mouse or computer, but no, it was the software.If after all this work at least I had ended up with a decent slideshow, I would have given this a 3 star rating. But I wasn't able to get anything usable. There are tons of bugs in the audio, so that when you add backround music you end up erasing photos, eliminating the audio track of the videos, changing the times the photos are displayed, or the whole thing simply crashes. On top of all of this, the software doesn't do what it advertises and what I bought it specifically to do: create presentations that can be copied onto a CD-Rom and seen on a computer. Turns out that in CD-Rom format you can copy the photos, but not the videos. And the sound tracks also don't copy as backround music but as separate tracks. Or at least that's what I think. I can't be sure because the playback software which automatically copies onto the CD-Rom is so incredibly confusing that I never did figure it out. I have yet to try to make a copy of my presentation in VCD format for my DVD player. Maybe that will work out better, but I'm not holding my breathe. I really regret having bought this, especially considering all the other options there are out there. Keep looking and buy some other software for your photo slideshows!
