TOPIC: Getting to Know Your Digital Camera!

Bring your digital camera and note taking materials. We are going to learn all of the wonderful things that your digital camera can do. If you don't have a digital camera, this is a great time to come and find out what to look for and what you can do with such a wonderful toy. 

 

In case you noticed, we did change the topic of this month's class. We will cover video editing in a coming month.

Create Slideshows and Screensavers

Here are some of the basics we discussed 

at the Meeting

 

FINDING THE RIGHT PROGRAM

 

Good Shareware Sites:

 

www.download.com

www.hotfiles.com

www.tucows.com

 

Make sure to check if the software is trialware or freeware.

 

 

RECOMMENDED PROGRAMS

 

 

Screensaver Maker 1.83

 

This program allows you to make a screensaver that can be executed on any Windows PC. Simply tell it where the photos are and it will make an exe file that will install a screensaver, complete with captions and transitions.

 

 

Xatshow 3.0

 

This program allows you to make 3rd party screensavers, slideshows and web slideshows with various transitions and music backgrounds. Very simple to use, yet very customizable.

 

 

3D Album (See link below!)

 

I'm not sure that there are many other programs like this. 3D-Album has a very graphical interface and it is very simple to use, but saving your screensaver or slideshow can be kind of tricky. Screensavers can't be put on other machines. But the slideshows can, and they are fantastic!
