I want to be able to put the show on a CD and show it at their reception. I would like to be able to have music in the background (also on the CD) and have different fade in and out of the pictures ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My *humble* suggestion is to use SlowView viewing utility, it's free small and more than powerful for individuals use. This utility doesn't setup or install itself to the hosting compute, this is an important feature to make your work viewable on different computer platforms. It's works with Windows 95/NT/98/2000/ME/XP. it supports more than 40 image, video, and audio formats! Among the most known are: JPEG, GIF, MNG, PSD, TIFF, TGA, MP3, AVI, MOV, and many others! You'll be able to browse images in thumbnail mode, or one by one. It is available from http://www.slowview.at/ , nothing prevents you from distributing this software in the licensee agreement on "As It Is" bases. You may make it run automatically from the CD by using an Autorun creating utility like AUTOPLAY MENU STUDIO PRO 2.02 *according to my experience, it's the most user-friendly but not the best* .
