I gave the program a try and during operation, Mamutu (yesterdays offering) found 3 levels of suspicious activity within 5 minutes of use.

Having added some photos I then clicked the settings button to see what options there were and found that the resulting dialogue box was sitting in the middle, right between my dual monitors. When I attempted to drag it to a more favourable position the box greyed out and there was nothing more that I could do to access it or the main program without a forced ending, which of course lost all that I had done to date.

It seemed that you have to add one photo at a time, which could be a drag if you are adding many.

The range of options in the template settings when you go to publish was impressive although there was no button to go back to the original screen. You actually have to close it but this should be more obvious.

You are able to save the Flash template settings for the specific customisation, which is a nice feature.

After I published to an .EXE file and attempted to run it, Norton Sonar immediately flagged it up as a high risk and automatically deleted it.

The time taken to create the .EXE file though was blazingly fast, which could be of use if you do decide to add a large collection of images for publication.

Whether the Mamutu or Norton warnings were false positives, I do not know at this point but I am sufficiently cautious not to use the program any further at this point.

If all is well, security wise with the program then with a few modifications, it could be rather useful.

Why bother with a program like this one and then have several others to do other such kinds of fun.
I use WINDOWS PHOTO STORY 3 to do what this will do and even more such as adding voice and music both as well as creating very nice infor promos and after you make them you can convert them to any format you want with FORMAT FACTORY. These programs are free and always very good. They are updated from time to time to keep you modern.

Sorry guys but the finished product (ie the the finished flip book) is just not that good. Page turn animation and overall effect is just not of the same quality of other similar programs out there.

For example "Flipping Book Photo Album Builder" price at the same $99 but is a much more polished product.

Perhaps worth $30 but not more

Downloaded, installed and activated fine (XP Pro, SP3).

Slight glitch at the moment is that its 'full-screen' mode is a title-bar's height down from the top of my screen, and hides the bottom of the program's window behind my taskbar. Not too much of a problem, since the only things down there are page numbers and arrows, and there's enough of them showing to work with. Annoying, though.

However, you can manually move and resize the window.

Well, I believe that DVD SLIDESHOW GUI utterly outclass this (overpriced) GAOTD worth $99 ($99???? Is it a joke, right?? Come on...)!!!

DVD slideshow GUI is packed with features:

- 240 transitions, 100 Effects you can add to the entire slideshow, 35 Motion Backgrounds(avs).
- Animate your overlapping images using zoom, pan and rotate. Add photos with alpha channel and EXIF data.
- Add videos(avi/avs), Power Point(ppt) and Impress(odp) to you slideshow.
- Add and edit music, motion backgrounds, borders and subtitles.
- Make your own transitions, effects and motion backgrounds.
- Export to dvd video(PAL/NTSC 4:3 16:9), BluRay, 720p, 1080p, dvd audio, dvd chapters, dvd subtitles, avi, flash for web, avisynthscript, storyboards, single images with backgrounds and YouTube.


New Powerful Video features

Avi and avs (video) can now be animated(Ken Burns), overlapped(negative transition durations), overlayed(a transition for adding new slide on top of the old one) and subtitled. A preview image will be visible in the listcontrol/Slidesettings window/Animation window. In other words videos can be handled like slides now whithout the previous limitations.

In the music listcontrol the right click menu has a new function called 'Use Video Audio'. If this is checked music will fade in and out around videoclips in the slideshow and if it is unchecked the music will be played over video clips too and no audio from the videoclips will be heard.


Did I mention that, unlike today's giveaway, it doesn't cost you a DIME??

Enjoy!!
