Think: I just got back from my vacation and I want to select the best ones to put into a digital album, perhaps add captions and transitions, and then show to people. Yes, he could spend $300+ on Powerpoint, then export the ppt files into stand alone presentations that could be emailed, burned to disk, whatever. But are there other alternatives which are intended more for this sort of thing? Everytime I've used powerpoint for pictures, I end up feeling that the particular solution doesn't fit very well. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ~*~*~*~*~ For a complete list of email commands for our list send an email to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject line of "info 1stpicksoftware" without the quotes.
