We give a half dozen or so lectures a year.( across the country...hence the travel- tie in) We have always used 35mm slides in a carousel to show images as we lecture. Our industry ( gardens) is one of the last strongholds of this medium. Well... we are beginning to see the "light" and many are switching over to powerpoint presentations.

I have been told that PhotoShop is the best software for putting together these powerpoint image only picture shows. I don't think I can afford Photoshop unless there is a mini-version without all the bells and whistles....

On the other hand I have been told that MS Powerpoint is not a very good program ( easily crashes the computer was one comment) and Photoshop was the way to go....


Our presentaion would be a simple photo "slide" show ....no graphics or sound. (At least until we get our feet wet in this new medium)

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
