Yes, it works. And yes, it's got one or two interesting effects. But apart from that it does exactly the same as iPhoto's Export/QuickTime feature does.
The biggest disappointment, imo, is that saved slideshows are HUGE, considering the size of the images (just like when you use iPhoto's Export/QuickTime feature). As a consequence slideshows of about 5 images or more are too large to be emailed, and require another distribution method with much more capacity (FTP, PodMailing.com, Pando.com, CD, DVD, etc. etc.).
So, imo, PhotoPresenter doesn't add anything to Mac users that they haven't got already.

Thanks for the comment! Note that the niche that PhotoPresenter is filling is the ability to display slideshows with both pictures *and* movies (what some -- if not many -- of us regularly capture with our digital cameras), something that iPhoto can't so far. The animated effects are indeed more a "just for fun" addition!Thursday, March 13 2008 @ 03:39 PM PDT
