Hi,
A newbie question here! I downloaded PSPx4 Trial version on my new Notebook. My desktop has the Dell edition of JASC (now Corel) "Paint Shop Photo Album" which I have used for over 8 years. With PSPA I can make slideshows with music and it burns it to a cd. When I got the Notebook, I started looking for the same functionality in possibly an upgrade version of PSPA----that brought me to try out PSPx4!! Can I make a slideshow of photos with music? I looked thru the menus and also the "search" in HELP, but it looks like I need to try some other Corel product. Thanks for your help!

Re: photo slideshow possible on PSPx4?
From what I understand Paint Shop Pro Photo Album was different from Paint Shop Pro. So PSPX4 was never designed to be like photoalbum so, no, PaintShop Pro X4 does not do slide-shows you can burn to a CD.
I have two potential replacements for you.
1) If you're only interested in the slide-show creation then you can use Windows Media Player to make an actual video you could play on a DVD. It's simple, add photos easily, add music quickly, and lots of transitions to choose from.
2) If you also want basic photo-editing features as well as the ability to organize and tag photos ontop of making slideshows Google's Picasa is a wonderful tool for doing just that. One of its big selling points is the ability to use photo-recognition to create a photo slide-show that centers on the face of a person adding a really personalizd effect.
You can also make collages and regular slide-shows.

Thanks, Levi! I will try those out for sure. I just took on the Corel Paint Shop Photo 2010 for a trial, so I aim to see what's out there. So far, the PSP2010 seems to have more audio soundfile options, but working with the thumbnails and the slide tray is maddening. If I keep it, I intend to do my slideshow organizing on my old JASC version and then copy it to PSP2010 for the rest of the process. Thanks again for the tips! Snuffy
