New in Photoshop Elements 4 Organizer - Enhanced Slide Shows

Enhanced Slide Shows
The Slide Show creation type in Photoshop Elements 4 now features a full-fledged slide show editor where you can add pan and zoom effects, clip art, text and audio captions, and advanced transitions. You can re-order slides right in the slide show editor, and perform basic editing tasks such as crop, rotate, size, smart fix, red eye fix, B&W and sepia color conversion. For more advanced editing tasks, you can jump to the Photo Editor and back.

Other slide show enhancements:

  • There are now more than 80 transition effects.

  • Narration can be recorded in the slide show editor and saved with the file as an audio caption.

  • Text can include drop shadow effects, and can use any font on your system. Font color, size, justification and style can all be adjusted. A number of pre-defined text styles are also provided.

  • Several categories of clip art graphics are provided which you can drag and drop into your slides. Categories include animals, backgrounds, costumes, frames, holidays, ornaments, scrapbooks, sports & hobbies, speech bubbles, and more.

  • You can add multiple songs as your soundtrack, and set precise start and end points.

  • Output slide shows as WMV movies files, PDF slide shows, or VideoCD.

  • You can also send slide shows directly to a TV if you have Windows XP media Center Edition, or send them to Premiere Elements 2 for DVD creation.
