'Wondershare Flash SlideShow Builder' helps you build interesting slide shows with your pictures. You can browse for your pictures but you cannot drag 'n drop them into the work area. The pictures can be added or removed one by one or all at the same time in the 'Browse' area.
In the 'Edit' area you can edit your pictures by changing their brightness, sharpness, contrast and blur and adding 'Photo filters' such as old film, gray, negative etc. You can also ad photo motion, rotate and crop the picture, insert audio record and text on it. In the 'Effect' area you can choose from 200 transition effects which can be applied on the selected image or to all pictures in the story line. If you select the random effect it will take the transition effects by random. The 'Theme' area includes many photo album templates that can be used for your slide shows or you can customize your own template. In the 'Publish' area you have some basic settings such as 'Loop Automatically' or 'Image conversion quality' and five output types available to choose from. The first two options will save your project as a '*.swf' and the difference is that the second option, 'Publish as Online Album', will start a wizard which helps you upload your album on their web site. The third option will save it as a '*.html' file, the fourth will save it as a '*.exe' file and the fifth will create a screen saver.
The interface is not so easy to use. You'll have to read the help file in order to start using the program. While testing the program I discovered that the 'Register' and 'Support' tabs are not working. In my opinion it costs a little to much.
Pluses:
Drawbacks / flaws: A difficult interface and a high price
In conclusion: With the evaluation copy preview you can't see very well how your project will look in the end but you can presume it will be interesting.
