tbarker13 Posted October 14, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been toying around with a program (SoundSlide) that makes it easy to publish your photos in the form of slide shows. A lot of newspapers use the program (which is fairly cheap). Of course, you have to have your own website to do it. Very easy to update them and make adjustments later. I've got four here that I'm working on. Just posted them this morning. I don't have the captions done. And I'll probably go without sound. The bulk of the photos were shot either with the M8 or the R-D1. A couple canon shots as well. Tim Barker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted October 14, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2007 Tim, Just trying to find my way around ... is this application PC only? Web based? Apple compatible? By the way: like your web site! Liked the horses in the mist. Did something like that and learned a lot. Marco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted October 14, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 14, 2007 Tim - lovely images! Went to look at the Soundslides site and not sure where the "sound" side of it comes and and what the point is if you don't want this side of things... Also interested to know how you feel this programme compares with slideshows generated by Lightroom or PS3... You can see examples of the HTML output (which I still prefer as it's quicker to load) at Wyzwolenie - proby or Riga - a perspective BTW - images a mix of M8 + Canon, but I thought that the forum would still allow as this issue of how we present our work is important...

tbarker13 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted October 14, 2007 It is a web-based program, but you have to have your own website to use it. I would imagine that it would work with Apple also, since most newspaper photogs use Macs for their photo editing. As I understand it, the program was designed to use an audio track that would determine how long the slide show runs for. I guess a lot of users wanted a silent option, so the newest version gives you the option of using photos only. I haven't tried these other methods, but here is how this one works: You open the program and tell it to start a project. You pick a folder where your jpgs are stored and it loads them into the project. Next, you have the option of adding a sound file. From there you can tweak a few features (captions, image sizes, etc.) Once you are ready to publish, you hit the "export" button. That generates a small set of files that you copy into whatever program you use to run your website - in my case, Microsoft Frontpage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted October 14, 2007 Interesting galleries Chris. How hard is it to make those? I've been trying to find the easiest way to present images on my website. I want something that's easy to publish, but also easy to modify if I want to make changes later.
