Photodex ProShow Gold 3.0
By Shutterbug Staff January 19, 2007 — Photodex Corporation has announced the release of the next generation of its slide show software, ProShow Gold.

ProShow Gold 3.0 makes it easy to turn ordinary digital photos into a slide show. Motion effects, like pan, zoom and rotate, make still photos come to life. Users can edit their photos, videos and music directly in ProShow Gold 3.0 plus can add an unlimited number of layers to any slide in their shows. Each layer has its own combination of motion effects allowing users to create unique photo montages, video overlay compositions, and more. One-click photo correction, red-eye removal and a built-in cropping and rotation tool bypass the photo-preprocessing step completely.

ProShow Gold 3.0 has a refreshed user interface that features a waveform in the soundtrack bar, a new slide options dialog and a favorites pane. Users can toggle between the normal Slide List view and Timeline view, simplifying precise matching of audio to the slide show. Important folders are close at hand with the new, customizable favorites pane.

Expanded output options in ProShow Gold 3.0 give users more flexibility in the ways they share their slide shows. Slide shows can now be output to Adobe Flash, Windows Media Video, HD Video and QuickTime, in addition to the standard DVD and CD disc formats.

Pricing and Availability:
ProShow Gold 3.0 is available from Photodex Corporation in both electronic ($69.95) and boxed ($79.95) versions. A 15-day, free trial version is available from Photodex.com for download.
