Ulead CD & DVD PictureShow 4

There are many programs that promise to help you copy your photo albums to CD or DVD to entertain friends and family, but very few of them are as easy to use as Ulead's CD and DVD PictureShow 4.

A PictureShow project can contain several slideshows, which can each be picture shows or video slideshows.

Once the slideshow has been collated and edited, the whole thing can be written to CD or DVD, depending on which type of disc the PC can create and your personal requirements.

The first step involves selecting a type of show to create - photo or video - and then importing the files.

The program can take files from the PC or import them from a scanner or digital camera. There is an Express Fix option to clean them up, and fine adjustments are possible.

The next step is to select one of the preset themes. These can be customised but can't be created from scratch. Finally, after any last minute editing and tweaking - the project can be previewed at any point - the slideshow can be copied to disc.
