I've been using your free version for many, many years. Really enjoy
it. Lately I've been using a high-quality 43" TV as a monitor. It's
HD and HDR. A really good quality picture. I dedicate this 43"
monitor to the slideshow exclusively. About 18 hours a day I run it.
I have about 40,000 photos in my folder I draw upon for the
Slideshow software. That's about 30 years of taking photographs,
both professionally and as an amature, and photos from my friends
and family, plus some downloads off Flickr (Mostly off Explore each
day).
The Free version has worked flawlessly all these years and given
me the level of control I want over the presentation of the photos.
I honestly don't have any suggestions for improving the program.
It's been perfect for me all these years.
I have told my friends about your program and several have
downloaded it and been very happy with it.
I've only had the new version up and running for an hour or so
but I do notice some differences. It seems like the background
colors change their shade a little depending on the photos. I like
that some of the background colors change.
I am not sure where I first heard about your program, it was so
long ago. Most important feature for me? The control over how the
photos are displayed, e.g., how long? Setting the time of the
transition between photos and the kind of transition.
In summary, your program is one of the most important pieces of
software that I use, period. Viewing photos is very important to me
and your program does an outstanding job in every way.

We use the application on a computer that is connected to a 55"
screen in the Club's Member's bar. It scrolls through Sponsors
Logos, Upcoming events, action photos of the junior squadron on the
water, up-to-the-minute bay wind conditions and Club race results.
I have written a batch script that copies various files from
different folders on different computers into one target folder that
the slide show then displays.
The computer is networked. The Club's office staff can change the
images from their work-station.
One such folder is a drop-box folder, into which we post the
day's race results from the middle of the race course. The results
are scrolling when the competitors reach the beach.
It works so well that it has become a focus point for the club
for dissemination of information.... (How did we manage without
it......?)

You know this program is easy to run, has
options I do not use (music} and basic nothing fancy. It also gives
one of my old (11 years) laptops a job to do for Family get
togethers just showing all family pictures over many subfolders at
one spot. The random showing of images is how it usually starts then
sometimes endup in one of the sub folders. I see 4 pages under
Options now {I think the version on the old hard drive had just 3}
and they are simple to figure out making it the perfect simple
slideshow that is up and running in a short time. Please keep up the
good work for "simple" people like me. My old Dell E6530 thanks you
as well - even thought it sometimes has problems - you help keep it
from ending up in the land of old useless computers...

At first: I am very happy with your application!! It works fine!
Exactly what I was looking for.
To answer your questions:
1) What do you use Able Photo Slide Show for? How does it help
you?
Just for private reasons: showing vacation pictures on our TV-set to
my wife, myself and other relatives
2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of
the program?
One does not have to do any preparations for slideshows on a CD or
other. it can be done right the way from the (sub-) directories.
3) Where did you first hear/read about Able Photo Slide Show?
I looked it up by searching the internet. There is a lot of garbish
so it took a lot of time to find yours professional application

1. I'm using the software to turn an old and slightly damaged
Microsoft Surface Pro 3 into a digital photo frame.
2. I wanted something that would monitor a folder and
automatically change the slide show - your software does exactly
what I wanted.

I use Easy Photo Slide Show in Windows 10, because unlike
previous versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, which had a slide
show built within the folder options, Windows 10 does not. Windows
10 sucks with regard to slide show features. You have to monkey
around with desktop options to get a slide show working, and then
change everything back when done. It's not very useful. However,
Easy Photo Slide Show restores the ability to do easy slide shows
within the Windows 10 environment and works great in the Windows 10
operating system. I'm sure that other Windows 10 users are likewise
upset with the Windows 10 slide show function, and I think if you
target those individuals who have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows
10 you will have greater marketing success.

I have spent many hours
trying a whole range of different free & paid versions of slideshow
software. Most want to make an exe file to run.
All I wanted was to point to a folder (or folders) and
say, show me the images in this folder. It was an unexpected
surprise & delight to find you have the 'Caption' option.
I mainly want it for our Church anniversary next week, to
show the many hundreds of images I have over many years. Now I can
continue to focus on sorting out the images in preparation, as I
have solved the dilemma of how to display them.
Well done & thank you so much.

Looking for a good slideshow software on Google
Leonard Mattie
I am using this for my new restaurant that will be opening in May
2014. I am mounting a monitor vertically at the entrance an i wanted
to show my specials on it. I tried using Powerpoint but it was
complicated. I found your software by Googling the keywords "software, slideshow, full screen, simple".
The description showed all of the features that I wanted and
the $20 price was very reasonable.
It's ease is very impressive.

I recently purchased Able Photo SlideShow. Absolutely love it,
simple effective and very professional. I am able to produce
stunning slideshows for family, friends and clients in a matter of
minutes. The ability to make an true executable disk is sensational.
I have been looking for a programme such as this for a while and
will use it often. Oh and the price - cheap as chips!! (Thats Aussie
for great value)

- Editor's review
Software to build slideshows from digital photos
is easy to find, but this tool makes the job easier than most. All a
user has to do to get started is select a folder where pictures can
be found, and the software takes over from there, cycling through
pictures using a wide range of transition effects between images. It
automatically resizes and centers photos so they match one another.
More advanced users can set the interval time between pictures,
synchronize the slideshow with audio, change the display mode to
tiled, stretched, or centered, and add captions. A handful of basic
editing tools also are included, allowing features such as color
correction and red-eye reduction. On the whole, we see this download
as a well-designed addition to any digital photographer's set of
tools.

I ordered the computer and did not like the Vista Photo Gallery
due to the limited transitions available. So I searched a few photo
programs and yours seemed to provide the most features, including
the transitions, the time delay, and ability to select from multiple
folders.
Robert Sieloff
I am going to use Able Photo SlideShow show
for a digital picture frame to be given out at Christmas this year.
I have used some free slideshow applications in the past, but I
thought yours was nice, tested it on my XP machine and it worked
fine.
Being able to run from a command line is the number 1 feature
that I look for. The second feature that is a must is that the
program need to just randomly display pictures located in a folder.
Yours did this. I really like that it will resize pictures for the
screen size. This will save me a lot of photoshop time.
Ricardo
I love your program.....I have been looking
for such a program to use my many photos that I take when I travel
in "SlideShow format" on my computer when it is not in use. A real
nice program.
Alvin Bruss
You wanted to know how I am using the
application. For 13 years we have been living in our RV as
full-timers and traveled the United States. That is how we generated
13,000+ photos of our travels.
Now that we are coming off the road and moving into a house,
we wanted to have a small PC with a large screen displaying our
photos as memories for our friends and us. We had been trying the
Microsoft Windows 10 Lock Screen Slideshow but it did not span all
the photos. And the Lock Screen Slideshow is woefully
under-documented.
The Lock Screen Slideshow would fill the screen by cropping
photos which we did not like. It did have a way of putting multiple
photos on a page. We experimented with a half-screen of one photos
with two quarter screen photos. The positioning was tight together
but the photos were all cropped. We prefer the single picture at a
time.
Able Photo Screen Show is doing what we wanted. Great product
once I figured it out.
Now I need to tract down a few photos that are defying the
EXIF rotation. The photo looks fine in a folder display until you
view and it turns. Nothing to do with APSS, it is how we treated
some of the photos along the way. I am using a rotator program that
can reset the EXIF which cures the rotation issue.

Able Photo SlideShow is an «ordinary» slideshow viewer with many
hidden unordinary goodies. Let’s discover them one by one. Starting
with «just a slideshow», you have all the features that could be
expected (and a bit more for «A+» mark): selecting an entire folder
with photos or selecting sets of photos from several folders, cool
transition effects, automatic and manual viewing mode. Of course,
Able Photo SlideShow can fit images in your screen and rotate them.
Of course, it has the full-screen mode (no buttons, no cursors, just
the pretty photos). But that is not even a quarter of the software’s
features!
Able Photo SlideShow has a really convenient Project Manager,
which allows you to easily select photos from all over your disks,
filter them and arrange. It also has Description Manager, which
allows providing nice caption texts for your nice photos. Entire
projects can be exported to «standalone» slide-shows: application
only (.exe) or even screensavers. Moreover, this particular
slideshow tool carries a good general-purpose image browser, loaded
with some basic editor features (effects, red-eye removal, and color
adjustments), printing and file management!
Now you can see, even in overcrowded area like slideshow software
you can expect more then just a «program like others».
D J Garay
I got the download, ran it and it works nicely. I have (so far)
nearly 500 photos on my XP laptop that we intend to add to , and to
show (random order) at a 50th wedding anniversary. Random display is
the most important feature (so far)..I had tried Google's
in-development "Picasa" but that didn't have random slide
show...actually Google displayed your description third or so in the
list of possibilities to my search ...I looked at others on the list
but yours seemed the best and it has done all I asked

What do you use Able Photo SlideShow for? How does it help
you?
I am a professional photographer and I use it to display a slide
show of photos in my waiting area as I shoot them.
What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of the
program?
I like that it monitors a folder and displays them as they
appear, and that it auto-rotates them.
AB Bonds
What do you use EasyPhotoSlideShow for? How does it help
you?
I have an older laptop that only supports Windows 2000/NT. It
does not have a convenient fullscreen viewer for leafing through
large photo archives. This seems a nice solution.
What do you consider to be the most interesting feature > of
the program?
Very easy to use, does not require setting up a show in advance,
just click it on a directory and go.
Martin Goldberg
1) What do you use Able Photo SlideShow for? How does it help
you?
I have a screen outside my classroom at school and it is used for
showing pictures of school events, such as Ski Trips, Sports Day etc
etc
2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of
the program?
Very quick to set up and use with a good looking result. Ability
to loop and randomize picture order is great.
Jack Schrieber
1) What do you use Able Photo SlideShow for? How does it help
you?
We have monitors in our lobby and near elevators, just to
entertain visitors while they're waiting. Since we are a newspaper
group we have many terrific photos and this display of some of the
best/most interesting/recent photos runs on two separate
systems/displays.
2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of
the program?
Without a doubt, the cost. $30 is incredibly reasonable for what
it does.
Rolland Elliott
1) What do you use Able Photo SlideShow for? How does it help
you?
We use it to display a slideshow of photos that are taken in our
photobooths that we rent out.
2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of
the program?
It has a feature where any new photo added to the watch folder
would appear immediately in the slideshow. For example if you have
100 images in the folder and the slideshow is currently on image
#50, when image #101 is added to the folder the next image played
would not be #51, but image #101.
Thanks for the product and good price!
Doug Carraway
1) As I take my clients images I wanted the images to automatically
be displayed in a slideshow.
2) The hot folder. Automatically plays the image in the folder
without removing the file from the folder.
Bob Carter
1) What do you use EasyPhotoSlideShow for? How does it help
you?
Displaying family and art photos on LCD screens around the house
and office
2) What do you consider to be the most interesting feature of
the program?
Your most original feature is the ability to place several images
on one projected screen.
Congratulations on a very fine product which you are offering at at
a very reasonable price.
