If you are using the Gnome desktop and have played with the wallpaper (Appearance) settings, you will discover that there is an inbuilt slideshow feature that you can use to change the wallpaper at regular interval. While this is a useful feature, it is rather limited since it can only rotate among the default wallpapers and not your custom collection of wallpapers. For those who wish to create your own slideshow and don’t want to have a third-party wallpaper changing app running in the background, here’s how you can do it in Ubuntu.

Nowadays the digital photos have become very easy to capture and save. With the advent of larger hard drives with cheaper prices, the space constraint is almost gone forever.

How to Create Slideshows On The iPad
By | January 31, 2011 |
One of the best parts about the iPad is its ability to share. From funny videos to photos, picking up an iPad and sharing things with friends and family is a great experience. With photos specifically, you can show someone an album of photos from a recent trip or event and let them flick through at their own pace; but sometimes you have a group of people who want to look, or want to show people the photos in a specific way. This is where slideshows from the iPad’s Photos app can come in. To make things even better, the iPad makes things very easy, as well as relatively feature rich, for what you’re probably looking to do. Read on for the step by step process on how it works, as well as an overview of some of the features you can take advantage of.

Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder + Free Giveaway
By | September 9, 2010 |
The digital slideshow is an effective means of displaying all your digital content. Instead of your family and friends viewing a static sequence of your holiday photos and videos you can dress it up in imaginative ways to provide an interactive experience.
Simple products such as Microsoft’s Windows Movie Maker and Apple’s iMovie allowed early amateurs to link together a group of photos and videos with interesting transition effects and background music. More advanced non-linear editing software such as Apple’s Final Cut Pro and Avid’s Media Composer allowed a far greater feature-set for more professional film editors.
Falling squarely in between is Wondershare’s DVD Slideshow Builder Deluxe. This product aims to allow the budding editor to test the waters of photo and video editing, while having a fairly complete feature set to tempt the professional.
