Photodex(R) Corporation releases the next generation of its award-winning slide show software, ProShow(R) Gold 3.0.

Photodex Corporation has announced the release of the next generation of its award-winning slide show software. ProShow Gold is the industry-leading slide show creation software for consumers. Its ease-of-use and rich feature set have made it an irreplaceable tool for any digital photography consumer. With features like multiple slide layers, enhanced video output and enriched motion effects, the new ProShow Gold 3.0 raises the bar for what consumers can create with their digital photos.

“In its third year, ProShow Gold has grown from a likeable photo slide show program to one of the most robust multimedia slide show creation tools in the industry, winning a staggering number of awards and glowing praise from critics. Version 3.0 offers digital camera users more ways to express themselves and share their experiences through the creation of high-quality slide shows,” says Paul Schmidt, President of Photodex Corporation.

ProShow Gold 3.0 makes it easy to turn ordinary digital photos into a slide show masterpiece. Motion effects, like pan, zoom and rotate, make still photos come to life. Users can edit their photos, videos and music directly in ProShow Gold 3.0, saving time and making it easier to customize their slide show.

Unlimited Layers and Creative Control:
With ProShow Gold 3.0, users can add an unlimited number of layers to any slide in their shows. Each layer has its own combination of motion effects allowing users to create unique photo montages, video overlay compositions, and more. One-click photo correction, red-eye removal and a built-in cropping and rotation tool bypass the photo-preprocessing step completely.

Optimized Workspace:
ProShow Gold 3.0 has a refreshed user interface that features a waveform in the soundtrack bar, a new slide options dialog and a favorites pane.
Users can toggle between the normal Slide List view and Timeline view in ProShow Gold 3.0, simplifying precise matching of audio to the slide show. Important folders are close at hand with the new, customizable favorites pane.

Enhanced Video Output Options:
Expanded output options in ProShow Gold 3.0 give users more flexibility in the ways they share their slide shows. Slide shows can now be output to Adobe(R) Flash(R), Windows Media Video (WMV), HD Video and QuickTime(R), in addition to the standard DVD and CD disc formats.

Pricing and Availability:
ProShow Gold 3.0 is available from Photodex Corporation in both electronic ($69.95) and boxed ($79.95) versions. A 15-day, free trial version is available from Photodex.com for download.
