Set durations per photo and more caption control

Last night we released a major update to PhotoShow.com, including a next generation PhotoShow playback engine that will power new features like multiple music tracks per show (coming soon) and more!

New! We've updated the Father's Day Style, Graduation Style, and created new Pan & Zoom Style so you can make the most of your photos from May & June.

New! Change the caption size, width, and placement. You'll love the new control over captions so you can say everything you want to say, without blocking the parts of the photo you want to see.

Caption placement 


New! Set the duration of each slide individually (Premium users only). PhotoShow 5 users will love the return of this key feature for making custom shows. [Tip: use the right arrow key on your keyboard after entering a duration to quickly jump to the next photo.]

Any duration you enter is automatically applied to that photo, but you can also choose "To Entire Show," "From here to end," or "From here to next setting" in the pulldown next to the duration.

Specify any duration from 0.3 to 10 seconds.

Slide timing


 We will roll these updates out to the PhotoShow 6 desktop app this month as well.

Happy sharing!

Download photos from shows + new Mother's Day style

Just in time for Mother's Day we've got a new style and matching DVD package. Plus, DVD's are 30% off now through May 10th.

Momsday

We've also added an awesome new feature on PhotoShow.com for Premium users, the ability to allow viewers to download high-resolution photos from your PhotoShows! Next to every PhotoShow on the viewing page, you'll see a link for "View and download photos." Clicking that will open up a thumbnail pod where you can click on any image for a larger view and the option to download the photo.

Now you don't have to send photos in email or post on some other site in order to share those photos. Friends and family can download them directly from the show! Enjoy.

Comcast PhotoShow and PhotoShow Circle

As of April 1, http://photoshow.comcast.net and www.photoshow.net have been discontinued. Over the past 6 weeks we have placed notices on these sites about the pending shutdown, and these links now point to Comcast or PhotoShow.com.

For more information about these changes click here:

PhotoShow Circle (PhotoShow 3 or PhotoShow 4 software)



Speech bubbles and redesigned tabs!

Yesterday we released new features on PhotoShow.com!

First, we made it much easier to get to the content in the More Styles, More Stickers, More Borders, and More Backgrounds windows by organizing the items into categories that you can jump to from a list, rather than scrolling down a huge window and waiting for content to load. This will make it much easier to browse and find content for your shows.

Redesigned styles

Second, we added a new Bubbles tab where you can add speech and thought bubbles to your pictures, then enter text, change size, and drag to reposition. Speech bubbles make shows more fun to watch, and really add personality to the "actors" in your show.

Keep on sharing!

Import from other photo sites, Blackberry software, and new Ski style

Last week we released a new version of PhotoShow.com with some cool new features.

First, in case you haven't noticed, you can now import files from your Flickr, Facebook, and Shutterfly accounts. We hope you find this a convenient and fun way to get your photos into PhotoShow.

(As shown on the "Make A PhotoShow" page.)

Import


Second, you can now find instructions for downloading the Blackberry mobile uploader on your Account page, so it's right there next to your other software downloads.

Third, we've added a new "Ski Week" style and some new stickers to go with it (under the Sports category). Type in your title and it shows up on the trail map!  Share those pics from the slopes with family and friends!

PhotoShow.net will be discontinued March 31, 2009

This DOES NOT affect PhotoShow.com or PhotoShow 5 or 6 desktop versions. If you are a Roxio PhotoShow Premium subscriber or Roxio PhotoShow basic account user this will NOT affect you.

The service known as PhotoShow Circle which is located at www.photoshow.net will be shut down on March 31, 2008.

PhotoShow desktop versions 3 and 4 will also be unable to share online after that date.

To learn more about these changes, click here.

Photo limit for basic accounts raised to 24

We felt that 12 photos was too restrictive. The new limit for basic users is 24 photos per show.

Change to service for basic accounts

Today we implemented a change to the Basic level PhotoShow service, limiting PhotoShows to 12 photos per show. We know that some basic users may be upset by this change, but we hope that you will continue using PhotoShow as a basic user or, even better, purchasing a Premium subscription to get access to all the styles, content, music, and video features.

PhotoShow is the premiere service for sharing the best stories of your life with the people you care about most. Premium subscribers can add up to 400 photos and videos to a show, add custom MP3 files to their shows, and get the PhotoShow 6 desktop software for burning DVDs.

For Basic users, 12 photos still makes a fun PhotoShow, and you can make as many as you like. In addition, we've added new features for all users such as the Blackberry PhotoShow uploader, new styles, and sharper image quality.

upload shows with MP3s from desktop

In addition to the new features online (see previous post), we have also released an update to the PhotoShow 6 application. You can get it on your account page or just wait for the auto-update. This new version includes:

  • Post your shows with custom MP3 music on your member page!
  • Delete shows directly from the My PhotoShows screen
  • Import shows from PhotoShow 4 and 5
  • Improved stability and easier access to "Steps 1, 2, 3" tabs
  • Updated DVD burn engine for the latest device support
  • Updated Help document

This is a must-have release! With your own music and the shaper, crisper photos online, your shows will look and sound amazing!

If you're a big PhotoShow 5 user, now you can get those advanced shows with custom MP3 online just by importing them into 6 then publishing to your member page.

Enjoy,

The PhotoShow team.
