IceCream Slideshow Maker is an alternative to dumb basic utilities and also to professional slideshow makers that sometimes appear to be too complicated. With this program in your toolbox, you can easily create good looking slideshows with photos, music and effects in a couple of minutes.

You can import single images or entire folders, arrange photos in a desired order, define the time of their displaying on the screen, and also add music and set transition effects for a better result. Aside from that, you can scale the images to fit the screen or keep the original ratio.

Changelog

    Main bug fixes:

    a bug related to the default printer could prevent FotoSketcher from running
    the manual brush would not work properly when the custom frame was applied with "autofit" on
    the program would sometimes freeze when going to the fotosketcher.com website from the "About FotoSketcher" window
    various small speed and stability enhancements

    New and improved features:

    New Pencil Sketch 5 effect (replaces the previous one)
    New Light style for improved legibility

    Possibility to run FotoSketcher in silent mode (via the command line interface or by editing a shortcut to pass parameters). The syntax is as follows:

    FotoSketcher.exe -silent Source.jpg Dest.jpg 18 80 180 40 50 255 n y n
    where Source.jpg and Dest.jpg are respectively the filenames for the source image and the processd image, followed by the effect number (1 is Pencil Sketch 1, 2 is Pencil Sketch 2, etc...), followed by the 5 parameter values, and finally n/y for soften edges, frame and texture.
    For advanced users, this could be used to pilot FotoSketcher from another graphics program.
    The standard custom frame has been updated and will adapt better (less distortion) to the image ratio (square, portrait or landscape)
    Right-clicking on the small custom frame pictogram in the top-right corner reverts the custom frame to the default one if you had loaded another.
    The script engine (press F5 to open the Window) now has a default script built-in. Just click the Run button to test it or the trash can to clear the script.

ExifToolGui is a graphical interface for the already-known ExifTool application. It was created in order to make it easier for users to deal with its functions. Of course, this makes the original application more accessible to normal or casual users. The product has been slightly changed, so don't go expecting the app to be perfect. Still, it remains efficient and as far as I was concerned, the program did respond quickly and efficiently.

Open Source

Changelog

    Added the option to download and install an alternate (larger) GeoLocation DB.
    Mainly bug fixes.
