Photostory1 slide show Digital





OK, you know how to make a slide show. Now you have to take ONE subject/theme and make a slide show with at least 20 different images of same subject. Close up, repetitive, wide angle, distorted Im looking for a slide show that pushes your imagination. Music should be appropriate. Slide show must be done on Photostory3 only. Here are a couple of examples.
