PS 7

I need to make a slideshow/photoalbum with high res tiff originals (several hundred – but maybe I can make several slideshows).

My PROBLEM is each photo needs a comment/caption/description, in addition to a thumbnail.

I’ve tried ‘caption’ in PS7 (not suitable) and also modified the html pages in web photo album in PS 7, but it’s still not the best solution for this project since each html page has to be opened after in another program and the comments added manually and then the pages resaved as html. This leads to errors on the part of the operator.

Tried Irfanview, and HP slideshow thing which came with my burner. They copy the tiff’s and make an .exe file. Not what I need.

Does anyone know of a slideshow/photoalbum program which has a provision for entering comments on the photos. I will eventually want to burn these slideshows onto CD’s and distribute them to a few folks.

I need to keep the high res tiffs for printing later and/or other high res things in the future.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Try Powerpoint. You can distribute with the Powerpoint viewer on each CD.

why would you need high res for a slide show? A monitor typically cannot see any better that it is capable. does not make sense.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions I’m off to try them.

I need to KEEP the high res files with the slide show not necessarily USE them for the slide show. I may/will need the high res files for a digital projector project later or for printing later or for whatever invention comes next which will need high res.

I was hoping I could just USE the high res files in the slide show, thereby saving one step or extra files on each CD.
