July 8, 2010 – SlideShowPro is a popular photo and video media player that can be embedded in any web site. It’s available as an ActionScript 2 & 3 component for Flash, as a gallery extension for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and in standalone form for embedding yourself. SlideShowPro is an elegant and highly customizable utility perfect for displaying a photographers work online.
SlideShowPro uses Flash to display images and video on your website. Since 98% of all computers already have Flash installed on them, this was the perfect technology to use. Unfortunately Flash slideshows don’t play nice with Apple’s iPhone, iTouch and iPad. This has been an ongoing issue between Apple and Adobe and the one’s caught in the middle are the users. Since most photographers love the look of an elegant Flash slideshow with smooth transitions and a user friendly interface, they have been willing to pass on the iDevice market. In my opinion this is a big mistake. As Apple’s devices gain in market share, it increases the potential audience/customer base you may be missing out on. Read More→
