gPhotoShow Products Support Forum

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased gPhotoShow Pro and I'm finding the settings quite difficult to understand.

I'm looking for ready-made .gss configuration files shared by other users, preferably for:

Elegant transitions between photos
Smooth pan and zoom
Scrapbook layouts
Setting background images

Does anyone have working .gss files they're willing to share so I can learn from them?
I'm looking for actual downloadable configuration files rather than tutorials.

Many thanks!

Hello,
Configuring gPhotoShow is straightforward. The main step is to add an image directory on the "Images" page.
Then, go to "Transitions." For 2D/3D transitions, simply click on a transition to see the effect displayed on the right.
Next, try out the various settings. For instance, select "Pan & Zoom," click "Preview," and observe the effect.
Do the same for collages: pick one and test it out. Adjust the parameters and see the results.
It takes longer to describe the process than to actually do it.
I attached a simple pan&zoom, just add a directory with your pictures.

Thank you.
I don't find it that straightforward. There are a lot of parameters and some of them are very confusing (eg stretch & crop).
I can try things out and see the result, but that doesn't mean I can achieve what I would like to see.
Your file is certainly helpful and already did clarify a few questions. Appreciated.

I described it as simple because some basic knowledge is assumed. For example, if I need to display a 4:3 aspect ratio image on a 16:9 monitor, I can do so in two ways:
with colored side bars
by cropping and stretching the image. That is what the "Stretch & Crop" setting is for: telling the program how much to crop or stretch the image to fit the screen.
Anyway you don't need to change everything, all settings have reasonable defaults.
Feel free to ask any other questions here.
