Mac-like slideshow-program for PC?

Hi there everybody,

I own a PC (sorry!!) but was extremely impressed by a slideshow I
saw on a Macintosh computer recently. It was running on a laptop,
and it basically consisted in photos that dissolved seamlessly into
each other but at the same time also panned and zoomed ever so
slightly. It made for a superb, professional effect.

I think the slideshow was just running with the default MacOS
slideshow program that comes with the operating system.

Now my question is this (no surprise): is there a program which can
do a similar thing on PC's?

Thanks!

You can do professional looking slide shows with quicktime Pro and
you can use the PC version to do it.

I think he's referring to the built-in screen saver in OSX that
allows you to select a folder of images and then it displays them,
full-screen, in a dreamy, slow pan and zoom effect, dissolving
smoothly between images. It's not intended as a watchable slideshow
per se (after a while you can get quite seasick!) as you can't
change timing and the effects are limited. But it a very polished
way of showing off images while your computer's idle. And sorry,
but no, I don't know of a PC equivalent - most of us are Mac guys
here - you might have better luck in the PC forum.

Really? - I thought that was for movies only, I'll have alook...

I guess what I'm after is the "Ken Burns" effect... - but with
dissolving together with panning/zooming...
