"Still photography is not always so "still" these days. With the broad acceptance and demand for video-type content, an increasing number of photographers, including those at leading newspapers and wire services such as the LA Times, San Jose Mercury News and Corbis, are expected to capture audio as part of their photo assignments. Sometimes you will see a photo slideshow with sounds recorded from the event the photographs depict." Mikes post includes nice tips such as where to purchase music for your slideshow and this great example: Mike Fox has thirty years photography experience in Europe, Asia, South Africa, and the Americas. Photojournalism work published in - Newsweek, La Monde, Houston Chronicle, PR Week, Gallup Organization, American Marketing Association, The London Evening Standard, Die Welt, Tribune des Fosses, Common Ground Magazine, Heinrich Bauer Publications.

Curtis Almond from Texas previously used ProShow Gold on his Windows machine and switched to FotoMagico on his Mac. Areas of improvement duly noted. We hope to see some of his slideshows soon.

While at WWDC in San Francisco, I joined Scott Sheppard, Sam Levin and Brad Wright at the Inside Mac Radio studio to record the August 12th episode. It was great fun. I thought it was a very professional setup. Click here to listen to the episode.

I was talking about FotoMagico 1.7 and the Apple Design Award.

Yeah! The team just accepted the Apple Design Award 2006 Best Mac OS X User Experience Runner-Up for FotoMagico.

Really not bad for a test slide show thrown together in ten minutes is Rena Katinas' slide show.

One more finalist from the FotoMagico Slideshow Showcase: Kevin Miller - "Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia".

Peggy's Cove is a favorite of many, including my wife whose family lived in Nova Scotia many years ago. We were able to return last summer and enjoy the beautiful scenes of this quaint and historic fishing village. The focal point is the famous Peggy's Cove light house. My son introduced me to The Digital Story many months ago. I recently listened to several of the podcasts on a road trip. I grew up with a black and white darkroom as a kid. In the last few years I have moved into the digital photography world and am quite fascinated by it. I just got my first digital SLR and am getting my feet wet with Photoshop CS2 and color management.

German MACup magazine (issue 08/2006) publishes a review of FotoMagico and compares it with the slideshow features of iMovie and iPhoto. The verdict:

Clearly superior. Pan and Zoom in iMovie and iPhoto are puristic. FotoMagico offers far more options to the user.

MACup rates FotoMagico a 1.9 (5 out of 6 points).

Another finalist from the FotoMagico Slideshow Showcase: Phillip Resuggan - "Studio Portraits".

Our business offers a dvd slideshow as a product. This slideshow entry serves as both a digital portfolio that can be viewed on our Apple Cinema Display or on a dvd player and as an example of our dvd slideshow product. We took your recommendation and purchased FotoMagico to author the slideshow.
