Re: Recommendation Wanted for Simple Graphics Ediitor



look at Microsoft Photo Story 3 for this. It is free and I think does
everything except burn the DVD.

And it can burn the DVD with a plug in you can buy for it -- or else just
save it's output to a movie file and burn it to DVD with Nero or something
like that.

I have little experience with graphics apps and Photoshop seems like
one of the most popular programs so I figured I might get a variety of
good opinions here. If there's a more appropriate newsgroup for my
questions, please let me know.

My wife and I just got back from two weeks in Europe and we want to
make a slide show from our jpg files. Our editing requirements are
simple: Rotate, crop, enlarge, and save the resulting file. We also
want to rearrange the display order for the slide show. I have to
wonder if Photoshop isn't way more program that we need for this.

I can connect my computer to my big plasma screen for the slide show.
I have ACDC, which does a pretty good job but I don't know how to
reorder the slides without going through the hassle of rerumbering the
files. Another possibility I am aware of is to use Powerpoint to make
the slideshow and burn it onto a DVD with a runtime engine.

Should I buy Photoshop (Elements?) for my editing or is there
something free that has a pretty good user interface? Please advise a
newbie on some good options.
