"Clunky, clunky, clunky"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Non! These words simply are added to meet the minimum characters required.
Cons
Clunky. The dictionary definition of clunky is " awkward or unsophisticated . That describes PhotoStage well. I tried the free version. Maybe the paid versions are better. I would give it no stars but such is not possible.
Summary
The free version proved to be a big waste of time.

"saves defective files, adds ad-links"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Can produce a slideshow without music okay
Cons
slideshow with music track comes out all screwed up.
Summary
The worst kind of "free software"; defective, adds ad-links to more programs these people sell, should not be listed on CNET at all.

"Very good, little bit more then basic"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Easy to use, good crash and recovery routines, good features, for me the best software to create simple but nice home videos.
I used it to create a DVD from images and videos. It takes a while to import everything (rather old PC).
It crashed 2 or 3 times (on windows XP and an rather old PC) but it did an amazing job of recovering an automatically saved project file (lost practically nothing in all crashes).Cons
It crashed a few times, effects cannot be assigned to one file-type, videos and images placed on the time-line don't represent their actual timeframe (audio does), they are just a thumbnail with a time label.

"Easy to use, lousy end product."
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
It's easy to use, but ends up being a waste of your time because it is indiscriminate in what photos it allows you to import.
Cons
Won't import certain photos, and there seems to be no defining characteristics of those it won't import. Spent hours playing with file size, type, etc. to no avail on certain photos - which I wanted in my show. It also crashes for no reason.
Summary
I have used many video editing and slideshow programs, and while not expert, I'm no novice either. I have ample ram and and i7 processor, so that isn't an issue. I decided to try Photoshow because the 'trial' show worked well. Then I bought the full version. No matter how easy something is to use, if you can't get the finished product, or include pictures that are important to the production, it's not worth the time or money. It is a waste of your time and money.

"Bad interface, crashes often, stay away"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Very easy to learn.
Cons
Too many to list! crashes when making the movie, can't see a preview of the pictures so it is difficult to see a picklist of what pictures you have to choose from. Also tried to export the project to an external drive and then open it up with another (faster) laptop which did not work.
Summary
Developers really need to go back and rework this product, I spent way too much time creating a project that should have taken no more than 10-20 hours and I probably spent over 120 hours because of the the crashing. Windows movie maker is much better.

"Repeatedly crashes when burning DVD"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Relatively intuitive
Cons
Useless for distribution if it won't burn a DVD.
Summary
A real waste of time if your goal is to burn a DVD.

"Made ugly images"
Version: PhotoStage Slideshow Producer Professional 2.13
Pros
Nothing to say.
Cons
The slide show does not give a good by lowering the quality of the images.
Summary
I had to uninstall this software because of the inferior result(profit) to make a beautiful slide show.
