gPhotoShow description
Turns your pictures into a unique slide show or screen saver

gPhotoShow Pro is an easy to use slide show maker and screen saver that turn your favorite images collection into a unique personal slide show (or Screen Saver) complete with transition effects. With gPhotoShow you can point to file directories (either local or on a network) containing png, jpeg, tiff, web pages, panorama files, animations and have them displayed to your screen alphabetically, in random order or by date.

There is no limit to the number of images your directories may contain. You have various options for stretching or shrinking the images and to show images information like file name or Exif info taken from the images themselves.

You can also create image sets, create wallpaper, pause and continue the screen saver during normal operation.

gPhotoShow Pro it's the perfect software for a Digital Photo Frame. It can be easily controlled with a keyboard (or a remote control) and can detect and display newly added pictures without restarting the program and without editing the slideshow !

Since version 2.1.0 gPhotoShow can also be used as a slide show maker. To prepare a slide show you need only to configure gPhotoShow as usual and save save the configuration to a file. Then every time you wish to start the slide show you need only to double click on the saved file. In the same way you can easily create auto start slide shows on cd-rom. gPhotoShow will also prepare the autorun.inf file for you !

Since v2.4.0 gPhotoShow can create standalone screen savers.
