picture slide shows

how do you cope with the many jpeg files that your digital camera takes? surely, you will not be making print copies of them right? most often, they are stuck in your memory card that you wish you've had transferred before that next picture taking event. Or worse, they eat up a large space in your hard drive that makes your computer go slow.

in my case, i make pretty slide shows out of them. with a little bit of help from my wife, we sort and add some creative touches like music, video clips and effects to keep these memories. yes, we have replaced our picture albums with picture slide shows per occasion, travel, or any event you can think of. you can then burn them to play directly to your dvd and watch together from you home theater or television.

it's fun to watch with the family and great with friends too. this summer, our carpool parents group went outing to tagaytay without our kids and it was really something different. after we compiled the video, we invited them to watch it together and we had fun and excitement seeing it altogether while reminiscing the trip and at the same time planning our next trip together again.
