Share your slide shows with others by exporting a slide show to a drive on your computer. Configure slide show settings, save the album with Slide Show Player (player.exe), and then share the slide shows with others, even if they don’t have Paint Shop Photo Album.
The Slide Show Player is a separate application included along with the Paint Shop Photo Album software. Share your slide shows with others by sending them the slide show file and a copy of the Slide Show Player.
Note
Mac computer users are not able to play slide shows created with Paint Shop Photo Album.
Slide Shows Versus VCD’s: If you’d like to play a slide show on both your PC and television set, use the Video CD feature. For information about making a Video CD, see Making a VCD.
