DMF 5 slide show features

Post by richardnau »

Hi,

I have DMF4, and have downloaded DMF5 trial.

Seems to me that the Pan and Zoom function for creating slide shows is still very limited. I can't see how to:
i) set different P&Z parameters for individual slides in a show (some to have P&Z, others not)
ii) customise P&Z settings.

Have I missed something?

Further, the product literature states: "ExpressFix™ walks you through the simple steps for fixing common digital photo problems such as red-eye, ...". I can't see red-eye removal in the Express Fix Wizard. Have I missed something here too?

At this stage, looks like DMF5 isn't what I'm looking for in a slide show generator (all basic photo tuning available, customisable P&Z per photo, 16:9 support). It seems to lack the first two criteria.

My current workflow is:
* Picasa for basic crop, tune and red-eye removal
* MediaStudio Pro for customised P&Z, titles (output as AVI)
* DMF 4 to assemble various slide shows into a DVD disc.

Richard.
