PCWorld have taken a look at 3 different slide-show software packages, perfect for showing off your latest photo masterpieces to friends and family:

“I looked at Magix PhotoStory on CD and DVD 2005, $40; Photodex ProShow Gold, $70; and Ulead CD & DVD PictureShow 3 Photo Album and Slideshow Suite Deluxe, $50.

Each of these packages allows anyone with a writable DVD or CD drive to create a multimedia slide show that can be played back on a PC or on a TV using a DVD player. All of these programs also offer ways to optimize your slide show, making them small enough to easily share over the Internet.

With each package, I created impressive slide shows of my favorite photos, complete with soundtracks, animated transitions between images, and fancy 3D effects.”
