PhotoStory3: Downloading and Using It

Posted by dogtrax on April 28, 2007




I have been using PhotoStory3 for my ABC stories. In the past, I might have turned to MovieMaker, but that is unwieldy and less effective for static photo narratives, I think. Luckily, Microsoft recognized this weakness and created PhotoStory3 (which is a free and easy download) which mimics the Mac and gives you some semblance of the Ken Burns Effect (sweeping across photos). It even has some built-in soundtrack music, if you want.

Instead of creating an entire new document showing how to use PhotoStory, I found this tutorial at the MS site that seems pretty good.

    Great talking with you face to face last night and connecting with Gail and Bud the teacher.
