Slide show which?
To share pictures with other I am looking for a slideshow creator, where the
result can be deployed. I want to deploy the slide show with the individual pictures and give the enduser some control over speed and pause and things like that. So I do not want to make a DVD as a movie with the pictures on it. But something like Windows Fotogalery, with the pictures which I can send to somebody with a windows computer. I like the presentation of Windows Fotogalery, but want more influence on that. (Android and iPad would deployment would be nice as wel). This is to share my picture with others like fellow travelers or from a reception or a party. I want to put some effort in the presentation, but for the receiver the slideshow should be very accesseble. I am open to other solutions as wel, whereby the sharing of the pictures is put in a 'nice' wrapper. Thanks, Ben Brugman |

To share pictures with other I am looking for a slideshow creator, where the result can be deployed. Well the result can always be deployed. I want to deploy the slide show with the individual pictures and give the enduser some control over speed and pause and things like that. So I do not want to make a DVD as a movie with the pictures on it. Then you are going to have to make some decisions and compromises. If you want to share the images with all and give them the ability download individual images, then an HTML web gallery is going to be the best way to go. You can create those with Lightroom or Bridge quite easily. Another option is to use one of the cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or Picasa Web Galleries. The issue with the HTML galleries is for the most part you will be paging through the images manually, they are galleries not slideshows. But something like Windows Fotogalery, with the pictures which I can send to somebody with a windows computer. I like the presentation of Windows Fotogalery, but want more influence on that. (Android and iPad would deployment would be nice as wel). HTML galleries and mp4 files work nicely on both. This is to share my picture with others like fellow travelers or from a reception or a party. I want to put some effort in the presentation, but for the receiver the slideshow should be very accesseble. Most of the "slideshows" are Flash based, and there is a fair amount of resistance to Flash in many circles. Also using a Flash slideshow does not simplify downloading individual images. However, for a simple presentation they can work quite well. the big problem is going to be not everybody is going to be happy receiving a Flash slideshow. So I have found that if download capability is desirable an HTML gallery, either generated from Lightroom or Bridge, or sharing via Dropbox. If all that is needed is a simple presentation I send a Lightroom generated mp4 via Dropbox and that is downloaded from Dropbox to be viewed in whatever viewer you have capable of dealing with mp4's, not presented in a browser. So here is what you get from me. The same images are in both: Gallery: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lx56l61b7...%20Over%20Paso ....or mp4: http://db.tt/HewVJWr0 I am open to other solutions as wel, whereby the sharing of the pictures is put in a 'nice' wrapper.

I've been using it with the ExhibitPlus skin for many years to generate albums of photos for posting on my website. For instance: http://edwardgruf.com/2012-07-18+_sunrises/ |

But I understand why some folks would want to keep this off as well. |

Take a look at http://jalbum.net/en/ Creates pure HTML based albums with slideshows. I've been using it with the ExhibitPlus skin for many years to generate albums of photos for posting on my website. For instance: http://edwardgruf.com/2012-07-18+_sunrises/ Thank you for the example in jalbum, so I was able to see how this showed. But as said I want to send the presentation (with the jpg's included) to somebody, so they can keep it. Presentations on the web need to be maintaned in some way. So I would like to have the presentation OffLine, so that they can be kept but need no maintenance. What I would like is a program which you use to build a slideshow and to deploy for example a runonly version of that program with the build slideshow and the jpg's. So that when it is used on a highresolution screen it works, but that it also works on lower resolution screens. Windows has loads of programs which can show the slideshow, but none of them are deployable. For the Jalbum (again thanks for the example). This probably does not meet my needs: 1. Controls which were visible during the show. 2. Controls changed from position/orientation, when going from vertical to horizontal. 3. Full screen was not full screen, still controls visible and very slow. 4. Very limited amount of control how the slides were presented. And allthough I liked the photos, I did not like this form of presentation. Thanks for your input, ben brugman |

Thanks, Ben Brugman Not quite sure what you're after but Irfanview can create an executable slideshow. http://www.irfanview.com/ |

Full screen was not full screen, still controls visible and very slow. 4. Very limited amount of control how the slides were presented. And allthough I liked the photos, I did not like this form of presentation. First, I have no affiliation with JAlbum other that being a users for serval years. Don't think of using the JAlbum site. I don't, I use my own domain/web site. Take a look at the SOFTWARE which allow you to create image galleries. The look and feel of the gallery is controlled by which skin you use and there are hundreds of skins available. I happen to use and old one set up as you saw in the gallery I pointed to on my web site. I choose to have the controls visible, they don't have to be in the skin I use. The full screen slowness was determined by how slow you were able to dl the full size image off my web site which are 1.5-3.2 MB jpeg images. You build the galleries and then present them however you want, on a web site, CD, DVD, USB or off a hard drive. You pick a skin to configure the thumbnail, slide and other pages how you want. you're not fixed with any. Your gallery can be self contained with images all in one directory as I pointed to originally or in multiple directories. For example see: http://edwardgruf.com/dogs_2013_1/index.html I suggest you take a look at the software and available skins themselves before making judgement. The only software needed by the recipient is a browser, which all should have these days and doesn't rely on any platform specific software, as say Irfanview does. You can give anyone with a PC, MAC or Linux box a gallery. |
