Photos to music

[ChrisAlli]

I've seen other people post their photo's to music, anyone know of a site I can use to make a small one. Something I can send to people.

Most of the time this is done with a program on your computer, rather than a website, but I suppose they exist out there, I just don't know any.

If you are looking for program, what kind of computer do you have? Mac or PC? Do you want something that will do it all for you or do you want something you have more control over? Are you comfortable spending time learning how to use a program or do you want something more automated? Are you looking for a free software or do you have a budget in mind? Have you checked your computer to see if it came pre-loaded with some software that will do this? Windows Movie Maker and some Adobe products might already be on your computer. And are you looking to send people these photos to music (aka: a photo slide show) as an email attachment or do you want to make a dvd to send them.

Sorry I have more questions than answers for you, but this will let the people here suggest the best thing for you.

If you want a photo slideshow with music, you can always use plain old PowerPoint, but your recipient would need PowerPoint to view it.

You can also go to the Microsoft website and download - free- Photo Story 3 for Windows. (I downloaded mine back in Feb/March, so they might be up to Photo Story 4 by now.) It's pretty simple to use, and I think you can save it in either pdf format or Windows Media player, plus copy to a CD/DVD.

If you've got Photoshop Elements, you can always use the slideshow creator that it has.

They all allow you to add music to your slideshow. Elements has the most bells and whistles, but Photo Story 3 is good for a quick slide show.

If your looking for a full featured program I can heartily reccomend Pro Show gold. Works great

If you have a Mac, iPhoto will do it very easily for you. iMovie is another program that works well on the Mac. They can compress the movie for viewing on the web or you can make DVDs with menus.
