Roxio PhotoShow 6.0

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Though it probably shouldn't be considered a serious photo-editing tool, PhotoShow Express adds a splash of fun to any digital photo project. The software's big, bright interface is perfect for newcomers. Picture collections can quickly be converted into a variety of useful formats, including wallpaper, screensavers, and printable calendars. Where PhotoShow Express really shines, however, is in creating multimedia-rich photo shows. Using a slick combination of music, scene transitions, and special effects, photos can be transformed into a presentation that's surprisingly fun to watch. Although this app provides fewer editing options than full-fledged graphics packages, you will find some basic tools for making tweaks. We should also note, however, that some of PhotoShow Express's secondary features aren't available in the demo. Anyone looking to show off his or her snapshots will find this program a worthy download.
