Creats slideshows to watch on TV, perfect mix
of ease-of-use and creative control.
Ulead Systems, Inc., a 15-year industry leader
in video, image and DVD software, today announced
the release of CD & DVD PictureShow(TM) 4, the
latest version of its award-winning slideshow
creation software. CD & DVD PictureShow 4 is
the must-have software accessory for digital
camera users who want a fast, easy way to make
a photo album slideshow that can be viewed on
a TV screen and shared with family and friends.
CD & DVD PictureShow 4 is designed specifically
for novice or first-time users and yet has powerful
features that should satisfy most enthusiasts.
Users can select an Instant-Show(TM) theme template
which gives them all the aspects of an entertaining
slideshow with just one click. Templates mix
meaningful themes with rich special effects
for stunning results. There are also many powerful
features, including built-in audio and video
trim functionality, intelligent photo enhancement
tools, customizable audio and transition settings
and DVD menu creation capabilities.
With Ulead Photo Explorer 8.5 included in this
package, users have a complete digital media
management solution and comprehensive yet easy-to-use
tools for acquiring, viewing, organizing, and
adjusting digital images, as well as managing
audio and video clips.
"The growth of both digital cameras and DVD
burners has opened the door to a world of new
and exciting slideshow possibilities," said
Colwin Chan, product manager at Ulead Systems,
North America. "People are taking more pictures
than ever. Watching them on TV in the comfort
of the living room is a great way to enjoy the
memories. This software provides the perfect
mix of ease-of-use and customization, which
should appeal to a whole new mass-market segment
of consumers."
New Features in CD & DVD PictureShow 4
New Instant-Show theme templates provide one-click
slideshow creation, complete with stylish DVD
navigation menus, background music, pan & zoom,
transition and motion effects.
Customizable Pan and Zoom adds excitement as
users can pan across or zoom into the details
of their photos.
Built-in photo repairs with the ExpressFix(TM)
Wizard enables users to quickly fix common photo
problems such as incorrect exposure, color cast,
saturation, and focus -- they can also "beautify"
skin.
Trim audio lets users adjust music to the desired
length. It's the perfect built-in tool to add
small clips or sections of audio to a slideshow.
Multi-trim video is a unique feature that lets
users select segments from a video file and
insert them into a slideshow so they can view
their photos and video together on one disc.
CD audio support enables users to add their
favorite music from CDs as background audio
in the slideshow.
The Audio & Effects interface lets users easily
customize every aspect of a slideshow. They
can add multiple audio files to the slideshow,
view and change individual transitions between
photos, apply different pan & zoom effects,
control each photo's duration and much more.
Save Photo as a Separate File is a convenient
function that enables users to save any photos
that have been enhanced, repaired or customized.
Save Slideshow as Video File enables users to
share their slideshows in an email, on the Web,
on a portable media device or a computer using
any popular media player.
