creating a high quality slideshow/DVD slideshow

[redel17]

I am creating a DVD photo slideshow for a 55th high school reunion. The trial version of ArcSoft DVD SlideShow is meeting most of my needs.

However I would like to bind two seperate photos (a "then" and "Now") into a single frame.

Any suggestions - this does not necessarily have to bee done within ArcSoft is there any general photo processing shareware that would make on jpg file from two seperate images?


and as a followup - any recommendations for public domain music from the '50's that I could use as background?

All help appreciated.

Check out irfan view.

Irfanview and/or Paint.net. I use both, depending on my needs, and both are very good, and free , programs.

Also, Adobe is giving Photoshop CS2 away. Well, at least they provide the files and a license key on their site. But I actually think that Paint.net is better than Photoshop CS2 in many ways.

I use Irfanview and Arcsoft. Between them, it all gets done.

Proshow Gold. You can download a full working trial to see if you like it. I loved it.

If you want to combine two JPGs into one, you can do that in MS Paint by copy and paste each into a common new frame. Then and Now is a nice gimmick for reunion photos.
