Below video tutorial shows you how to make a photo slide show with www.slide.com. It's way cool, not because it's free, but because you can easily specify how the photos should transition to the next - dissolve, spin, revolve…(they call it "Style"); you can easily add frames and borders (they call it "Skins") and adding background music is also a mouse click away.

Recently, they added preset designs so you just pop in your photos, and oila, you have a photo slide show complete with border, music and fun effects. You could be done in 2 steps.

But my guess is that you won't resist tweaking it. Warning: give yourself a time limit, it's addicting. Anyway, once you're done with it, save the slide show and an URL is created for you to copy and paste in an email to your family and friends. If you have a blog, the 'embed code' is available to your blog post.

On your Anniversary, one way you can relive your wedding celebration is by having a digital photo frame play through every snapshot of your wedding the entire day.

The Philips Digital Photo Frame price has dropped another $30. It is now $139 for the white frame. A couple months ago, you would have to pay $199 for this popular digital photo frame.

When I bought my digital photo frame, I put it right beside my monitor so I can see changing photos of my kids, their cousins, smiling dogs, silly faces, etc. Instead of inspiring me to produce greater work, I got so distracted each time the picture changes. So I moved it. If you watch the video below you will see which one 'is not like the others'. Can I tell you, it was a hit with the Thanksgiving guests.




If you are considering buying one, I recommend the Philips Digital Photo Frame. It's very easy to set up, even dim pictures look vibrant (because the screen is lighted), and it takes all kinds of memory cards. Pop the card out of your camera and pop it in the frame. Or copy new photos of the baby every 3 months and mail the memory card to Grandma to swop it into her digital photo frame. The one shortcoming about the Philips picture frame is that it does not play video files (I am an avid video editor too). Some of the high end frames, like the Kodak Easyshare 10-Inch Digital Picture Frame plays videos (and is wireless too!) but you'll be spending north of $200.

All in all, if you don't need to display videos, and you know how to transfer photos from your computer using a USB cord or memory cards, you'll get the best value with the Philips photo frame. Read what Amazon customers say they like or don't like about this 6.5 inch digital picture frame.
