We've written in the past about Photodex's ProShow Gold, a terrific $69.95 program for making the best-looking photo slideshows anywhere. And you know we love Adobe's Lightroom, a $299 photo management program for editing photos, adjusting color and expsoure quickly.
Now you can use ProShow within Lightroom for free. The new ProShow plug-in dramatically speeds up the process of making a slideshow. In Lightroom, after a photo shoot, you save the best of the shoot to a "collection." With the Lightroom plug-in, you export the collection directly to ProShow, using a dialog box that lets you adjust the timing of the slides and the transitions.
After the export, ProShow opens. Add your titles to the beginning and end, a little music, and you're done.
Save the slideshow to a DVD or as a web video, and move on to the next project. It's not like Batman and Superman joining forces to save the world, but it sure is cool.
