Hi all..Just completed a shoot of my grand daughters wedding(as well as the pro hired to do a proper job).The setting was beautiful here in Wales but I would like to present her with my version and wondered if anyone knows of a free or reasonable software to put together a slide show. As I am pretty useless with the computer I do not want anything too complex.I am sure I will be deluged with help for which I will be eternally greatful...Colin

What did you use for post processing? Adobe Lightroom will do slide shows.

Good morning Colin.
RP is right with Lightroom but I would add that the organiser part of elements or CS5 will also do the job.
Without spending a penny, if you're running Windows 7 you can use "Windows Live Photo Gallery".

Thanks rpavitch, I did mention I am useless with a computer but I assume because you mentioned Lightroom what software I am using. I have Elements 10 and that about sums it up. Thanks

Pro show and Animoto come to mind. Different pricing points for each. Tons of cool effects and transitions to choose from. Wizards to make it easy for you,,,and free music too. Just google them to check it out.

I use Pro Show Producer for my wedding slide shows, but for quick and easy,,,,I think they have an option on line for about $25.

Why not present her with a photo book as well? They are easy to do, and you could limit the focus in some way -- perhaps a lot of shots of your side of the family. A few words of explanation on the photos will give generations to come an insider's look at a wonderful family celebration. Or put a little more work into it and get Quotes from some of the people in the photos: their memories of her as a little girl, what they thought seeing her walk down the aisle.
This becomes a wonderful memento that doesn't need a computer or software or anything but eyes to run it.

Thanks Photeach and all others who have helped with this problem. I am off to France in the car tomorrow so when I get back I will make a start on it. Thanks again...Colin
