Photo Story 3 for Windows

What is Photo Story? Photo Story is software, which you can download FREE from Microsoft, that will enable you to tell a story with your digital photographs. It is simple and easy to use and you can literally create your first Photo Story in about 10 minutes, replete with photo captions and music! It is as easy as 1-2-3. First, you download the software from the following web address http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=92755126-a008-49b3-b3f4-6f33852af9c1&DisplayLang=en . After you download (or run) the software, simply accept the defaults and the program is installed and ready to use. When you first open Photo Story, Begin a New Story is the default so click on Next and the next screen will prompt you to import your pictures. You will then browse for your pictures on your pc. It will then ask you if you want to remove the black borders from your pictures, which I recommend. You can click next and then you will have an option of adding titles to your picture, the placement of those titles, and the color and size of the font (so the words don’t get lost on the page). Go through all of your slides, and when complete, click next and you will be given the option to narrate your pictures. Click next and you can create music (music already there by Mozart, Beethoven, 80’s music, etc) or you can select music that you already have on your pc. Pick the music you want and your Photostory is complete. You can then chose to save your project to play back on your pc, email it to someone, or, with special software, make a dvd of your photo story. There are also great, advanced features like transitions from slide to slide that you can play with and learn as you go in addition the ability to add audio to your slides. As with any Microsoft product, there are great tutorials you can go through to learn this simple, fun product.

It’s fast, easy, and fun! Try it!
