mike_hallock Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Has any one have the experience with the slide show program called Proshow Gold from Photodex? I have reviewed several and undecided on which one to get. I liked the one from Showitfast but the restrictions are not my cup of tea. I am seriously thinking about ProShow Gold and plan to buy it this week. But I wanted to get any input about the program. Thanks ahead of time.

tommyinca Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 IMO, one of the best. Nice effects, easy to use and with some powerfull tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbarrington Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I use it a lot. I haven't found anything I like better and I have looked at quite a few. It isn't perfect, it definitely has a few quirks, but I doubt you will find anything more powerful for less than $200 USD. Just a hint, you can achieve some powerful effects not already in the extensive effects list by placing the same photo in the line up two or more consecutive times, each version with different editing. Then by using a rather fast fade and by controling the display time of each photo, you can create all sorts of effects that make the viewer think he/she is seeing a single photo display.

Greg M Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Two words...Processing Power.... I have this program and love it....but it is one program that needs lots of memory to run well. The more fading in and out you do of images, adding of music, text, etc, adds tremendously to the drag on your system, especially if you plan to burn HIGH QUALITY DVD's. I have a machine running Windows XP, with 1 GB of RAM and, quite honestly....it barely handles this program, and that's only if I burn CD's, not DVD's.

rjacksonphoto Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Powerful, yet easy-to-use program. I'm on my second version. Highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_lowenthal2 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I tried this program this morning; bought it tonight! While other programs offer some of the features of ProShow Gold, nothing I have seen does it all. I found the options for setting disolves (transitions), sharpening and color balance to be all I'll ever need. I placed 28 jpegs into a slide show that looks very professional, and I did it in about 30 minutes, with little reference to the help file. I think it's a bargain at $69.95.

pixations Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I tried Prosho Gold, and liked it a lot. Now I use Proshow Producer. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
