I take only colour slides, of railways.
Was given a Canon G2 digital last Christmas, as a gift.
The camera which is basically a point and shoot with upgrades, is nice, however for me who prefers colour slides, not my preference.
Kodak has announced as of June 2004, they shall no longer produce slide projectors. They the manufacturer of Kodak Carousel machines in various guises over the last forty odd years.
So for those of us in the Apple realm , and those of us who wish to show images, on a large screen, to others, where does that leave us?
Powerpoint is one option using a laptop and a video projector.
All images would either have to be scanned using a slide/image scanner, or they would be available as a digital image, direct from the camera.
Myself I have no love for anything Microsoft and PowerPoint is one of
their products.
Incidentally have seen Powerpoint used, with a Prehistoric Computer and a
video projector.
It was OK, however no where near as stunning a show of images as one
would obtain
from using the original colour slides.
I don't have a flatop or a digital scanner, and have not seen images so rendered on any other flatop or slide scanner as really great.
So are there options to PowerPoint? My own gut feeling is anything from
Microsoft is garbage;
hence I stay well away from anything of MS; however suspect somewhere, somehow
there are programs equal to or yes (not difficult) better than PowerPoint,
user friendly to Macs and probably a whole lot less in cost.
Ideas?
