PhotoCafe

Photos are used as an important resource in various types of activities. Chances are you simply need a large display to have particular product or landscape images scroll on, and this can even be performed with a screensaver. Specialized applications like PhotoCafe might prove to be just what you need.

The application comes with a custom-made design, which isn’t really much to look at, but you easily get the hang of things. All options are found in expandable menus so you don’t feel overwhelmed by the variety of settings, and there’s also a navigation pane in which you add all image sources.

On the bright side of things, the application makes it possible to load pictures from various sources, which includes offline and online locations. The application even includes several websites which provide some cool pictures. You can view the total number of items in the source list.

As mentioned, you get to use an expandable menu for properties. These include slideshow settings, background images, captions, panoramic image scrolling, layouts, image effects, multiple monitor support, night mode, miscellaneous, and sounds. Most options also include visual previews, as well as neat descriptions to make things easy.

The application acts as a screensaver, but doesn’t get automatically triggered just like a screensaver. It comes in handy for large displays, in which you need to have specific images show up. Multiple monitor support can be used to your advantage, with different layouts to configure, sounds and music to play during runtime, effects, as well as a night mode, which turns off the monitor in a particular hour interval.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that PhotoCafe is a practical tool to use to create temporary slideshows from pictures grabbed from various offline and online sources. Info can be shown on screen, while the abundance of settings at your disposal are sure to make it worth your effort.
