Pictures Presentation Maker

Pictures Presentation Maker is a software program which you can use to create presentations from images, as the name implies. It can be handled by first-time and experienced users alike.

The interface of the application is not well-organized, but less experienced users can use the simple-to-follow wizard to create a new project.

You can import as many images as you want by using the Explorer-based layout; you can either add individual pictures or the entire containing folder.

In the following steps, you can select the background for the slideshow (picture from the computer or solid color), insert background music, as well as customize the slideshow (e.g. hide the mouse cursor during the presentations, repeat the slides, enable random effects, restrict file exporting).

Once all settings have been made, you can either create an executable file, screensaver or screensaver installation, burn the project to an autorun CD, or retrace the steps in standard mode.

Skilled users can further configure options. For example, you can enable stretch mode or set a delay for the selected slides, preview results in full screen mode, export project details to an Excel document, as well as access system tools (e.g. Control Panel, Screen Properties).

The software program has a good response time, includes user documentation and runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory. Pictures Presentation Maker did not cause us any problems during our testing, such as making the operating system hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, no recent updates have been made to the app.
