Bob - I just watched your slideshow. It was AMAZING! I want to do one of my own and share it with all of you generous people that have helped me so much.

It looks like you had a blast! I can't wait for my Amalfi Coast trip next year.

By the way - your wife is pretty!

Great slide show, Bob. Tell me, how much control do you have on the TripWow program as far as the transitions and the amount of time a photo stays on screen?

Betty, I took all of the default settings but I do not think I had much control at all. Try it out. The download was faster than most programs. I am told I can hold an image by left clicking on that image--have not tried it yet. Most of this is all pre-set--you tell it where you started, you name the destinations, you pick the music[I only had one chocie[, and it does the rest.

I like Susan's Roman nose. Or is it Greek?

Nice slideshow. But, curses!, now I want to go back even though there are so many other places I need to see.

I've heard a rumor that the beautiful Mrs Navigator used to be on television...and now she's just settled for being married to a comedian!

Great pictures Bob... what size megapixel is your camera (or are the pictures saved as) - i have to admit that one of my favorites is the orange/red flowers against the grey wall... very striking! We leave in 13 days for our trip!

Okay, I tried it too. Click here for Ireland pictures, if you dare...http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/tripw...3-2e12-eb74?ln
The music is pretty monotonous but I think you have some options to upload your own music clips. Fun to mess around with!

Debbie, My camera is a rather modest Fuji at 10 MPX. Good light and subject matter always helps.
If you want to see better quality shots of the AC find the trip report by Isabel--now she is good.

Your slideshow is fantastic, Bob!!! I enjoyed seeing the beautiful images of Ireland, Allison!

As one who is technically-challenged, will it be an easy process for me to put a slideshow together?

2010, the short answer is "Yes". They lead you through the process quite nicely. Just try one for the heck of it, and see what you think. My biggest hassle was not being able to use my own music (my problem, have to try again), but otherwise, it's most satisfying and fun. Go for it!

Hey thanks Bob.

I'm tempted to go play with it but afraid I'll end up spending hours and hours. Maybe this weekend.
