Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Does what it says. Note that it does not perform the "Pan and Zoom", "Ken Burns Effect", "Screen Effects", or whatever you want to call it thing. I would really like to have a slideshow screensaver module that would have the following:

- Choose any image folder on my system (Apple's can do it but it's buggy). I don't like being restricted to iPhoto groups becaue I don't use iPhoto.
- Pan & Zoom like Apple's.
- Be able to set the min/max zoom level as a percentage of image size (on large images Apple's module sometimes zooms in to a ridiculous level).
- Choose whether to zoom in only, out only, or either at random.
- Set image change interval.
- Set zoom & pan min/max speeds.
- Have the ability to pause, skip back, or skip forward without waking the computer.

If someone were to offer such a program I would gladly pay $20 for it.

totally agree w/ Julia above - rob194

simpleSlideShow is a very nice find, as I have literally thousands of good pictures from my first-generation digital camera that I want in my slideshow but look awful stretched beyond their original 640x480.

Something with all (or even just some) of the features Julia lists above would get me reaching straight for my wallet.
