Flash slideshows are a fun way to present your photos to friends and family. As its name suggests, Photo Flash Maker Free offers to help you create your own Flash slideshows. This program's easy-to-use interface and fun themes will appeal to a variety of users.
The program opens with a helpful wizard that walks you through the process of adding photos, creating a theme, and publishing the slideshow. But the regular user interface is just as easy to figure out. Tabs divide the interface into three areas: Photo, Theme, and Publish. Under the Photo tab, we browsed for our photos using the tree menu. Our selected photos appeared in the bottom of the window, where we were able to move them around to the order we wanted, as well as flip, rotate, and add text to the individual images. The Theme tab let us select a theme from a fairly large variety of fun, colorful themes. Unfortunately, you have to upgrade to the professional version to access the Professional, 3D, and Web Album themes, but there's plenty to choose from in the free version. Once our theme was selected, we were then able to browse for and add music to our slideshow. Finally, the Publish tab let us choose our output option--Create Flash File Only, Create Gift/Presentation CD/DVD, and Create Flash Files and Upload to Go2Album--and select our output settings. And like that, our Flash slideshow was created. Should you need it, help is available through a Help link that takes you to the program's Web site. Overall, we found Photo Flash Maker Free an easy-to-use, fun program for creating Flash slideshows.
Photo Flash Maker Free installs a desktop icon without permission, and leaves a folder behind upon removal. We recommend this program for all users.

"Not FREE, Large Water Marks & Logos on Output, $49.95"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.42
Pros
Has a Wizard
Cons
It's NOT Free, Has Large Water Marks & Large Logos on output advertising their company for everybody to see, and they want $49.95 to remove those, leaves behind files when uninstalled.
Summary
This program was suppose to be Free, but it is Not, very sneaky to say Free, it has Very Large Water Marks on output, and it has their companies Logos' advertising their company for everybody to see, and to Remove the Water Marks and Logos' you have to pay them $45.95, this should have been mention on their listing so you would not have downloaded the program for nothing, also it leaves behind files in the Registry, and folders, I had to do a System Restore to fully remove the program.

I think this software is really gut. Photo Flash Maker Free is very easy to use. And there is wizard dialog to help you create slideshow, within three steps i can make beautiful slideshow.

Summary
Generally speaking, it works really gut.

"Faulty installation"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.39
Pros
Don't know as couldn't use it
Cons
It kept asking me to install Photo Flash Player, which I already have - went round and round doing this. No use
Summary
Don't bother. I found Photo Story fine (free version - but make sure you don't download all the extra Windows Live stuff).

"A practical software, and I like it!"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.38
Pros
Easy to use. Even I do not understand anything about embedding slideshow into website, I just copy the code the program generates and paste it into my web editor, then the flash banner is added.
Cons
Only dozens of slideshow templates are provided, if you need a splendid one for a special event, you may do some more optimization on the slideshow.
Summary
Anyway I like this program, and as a freeware it already meets my needs to make some simple slideshow and flash banners for building my website. Thanks for the programmers' contribution, but if possible, I hope them can add some more fashion slideshow templates.

"Impossible to know if anything is happening!"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.38
Pros
Final product did upload with music...
Cons
but at nearly each step I was unsure what was happening and if the program was working as I wanted it to...Some photos are sideways and I didn't know how or at what step to change that. Still don't... I'm not impressed.
Summary
Info that lets the user know if things are happening ("uploading" message, for example), how and when can edit individual photos (rotate!)...would really help a lot.

"It's a wonderful program, I love it!"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.38
Pros
This software woks perfectly and the transition is smooth and flawless. It is simple, powerful and creates great flash shows from my pictures.
Cons
One feature I really like is being able to make the pics and videos into one slideshow at the same time like your another amazing program- Photo Flash Make Platinum.
Summary
This program works really great! I haven't learned any flash making knowledge before and it help me create such nice and professional flash album show which let all of my friends feel suprised! It's just like magic. Overall, I think this is an excellent program and I am reluctant to let it go.

"My Favorite flash maker software"
Version: Photo Slideshow Maker Free Version 5.38
Pros
1. What I like the most is that it allows to embed to social websites or to the free website go2album.I can share with my friends.
2. Besides,it's easy to operate, I personally hate software that is very complicated as if made for the experts' sake.Cons
I prefer more themes for holidays or birthday templates. Since I'd like t make a special gifts for my best friend on his birthday party next month. I will play our photos in the flash sharing with all our friends.Please get improved in this!
Summary
I myself would recommend this awesome software to my friends and others, especially to those who like to take photos.
It's easy to use. We can share or hold to ourselves as well.
Although not perfect,since some themes seem too old,some lack of template. After all, every software has certain kinds of limitations.
I do love this flash maker. Expect your updating, more templates.
