gPhotoShow Free Features
Slideshows from local or network folders
Add folders containing your photos and optionally search all their subfolders. gPhotoShow is designed to handle large image collections without requiring you to add files one by one.
Random or sequential photo order
Show pictures randomly or sort them by full path, file name, modification date or creation date. The file list can be saved between sessions to continue where the previous slideshow ended.
Automatic resizing, rotation and cropping
Reduce large photos, enlarge smaller images, preserve their aspect ratio, stretch or crop them to fill the screen, and automatically rotate pictures using their EXIF orientation data.
Configurable transitions and timing
Choose the delay between photos, adjust transition speed and enable only the transition effects you prefer—or disable transitions completely.
Image and camera information
Display the file name, folder, path, date, time, camera model and exposure data over your photos. Text font, position, colors, background and opacity can be customized.
Background music and sounds
Play music from selected folders while the slideshow is running. Audio can be played randomly or sequentially and controlled with configurable keys.
Multiple monitor support
Display the same picture on every monitor or show a different photo on each screen. A split-screen mode can also display two or four pictures together.
Keyboard and mouse controls
Configure keys to pause or restart the slideshow, move between images, show the current file name, control music or switch the monitor on and off. Mouse buttons can also be assigned slideshow actions.

Upgrading from gPhotoShow Free 1.x
For the cleanest upgrade, uninstall version 1.x before installing version 2.0. Installing version 2.0 removes the old 1.x screen saver but may leave its entry in Windows Apps, where it can be uninstalled later.
