I recently switched from Mac OSX to Windows and the slide show program (Fotomagico) i used on Mac is not available on Windows so I am looking for a new one. I would prefer an Open source program but they seem very rudimentary for making good slide shows. I use darktable for handling my raw files but the slide show is not capable enough for my needs.
I am mainly doing nature and birds so I want to be able (among other things) to control zoom and panning to a specified point in a photo and control text appearing in controlled places. Think of zooming in from an overview to just the head of a bird and the name of it appearing in the end. This seems problematic in many of the programs I looked at this far. I also want to be able to control the transitions length and look, but that seems to be in most programs… Finally I want to be able to export the slide show to a independent format that don’t need the program itself for viewing. This is for sharing the slide shows to other people that don’t have the program.
Please share your experiences…
