Visual SlideShow

Visual SlideShow creates a Flash-like slideshow using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You can adjust the image size & quality (both thumbnail & main images), there is a choice of 5 transition effects, optional auto-play & auto-loop, you can publish to the server or desktop, there is a choice of slideshow themes, you can import photos directly from Flickr or PhotoBucket, it includes the Mootools JavaScript plugin, the generated code is fully XHTML compliant, and more. This is an awesome tool for creating stunning slideshows of your photos. You can publish them directly to your server for on-line display, or to your desktop where the code can be incorporated into an existing HTML page. Alternatively you can view them on your desktop using your Web browser or even burn them to a CD for distribution to your family and friends. Simple to use, just drag 'n drop your photos into Visual Slideshow, re-arrange their order if required, adjust the settings in the Gallery Properties dialog box (image sizes, transition effect, etc) and then click on the Publish button. The final slideshow is excellent, and the machinery to run your slideshow (not counting the photos) is a tiny 110kB. By specifying the size and quality of your photos, you can reduce a multi-megabyte image down to just a few hundred kilobytes. To view the sample Visual Slideshow we created, go to http://www.thecockatoo.com/visualslideshow/ where the entire slideshow, including 18 photos and their thumbnails, is just 1.5MB. The only downside with the free version of Visual Slideshow is that there is a small watermark at the bottom of each photograph which gives the program's Web address.
