Correction & Expansion on a Discussion from the Saturday 6/21 Meeting

I owe Steve K an apology. In a discussion of scanning last Saturday he said he did not think his scanner needed to upsample to obtain higher resolution. I said it did. Assuming he has a scanner purchased in the last few years he was probably right and I was probably wrong. Given this, my position that the better method of enlarging an existing print is to scan at 300 ppi and upsample in your image editor is not as certain as I stated it in the meeting.

4-up still photo consolidation needed

by jim evans for Dick Brotzman

Is there a software product out there that helps one build a composite photo display [as opposed to printed hard copy] comprised of either 4 or 6 individual photos arranged in either a 2 X 2 or a 2 X 3 matrix? I am trying to put together a slide show on DVD that would show a matrix of about 4″ by 6″ pictures at one time. Once I get the pages of pictures assembled, I would then add some voice narration for each page.

Do you know of any product that provides the capability to build these matrices of pictures? Thanks for the help

How about this example with 3 x 2 horizontal:

http://xequte.com but for some reason that product is no longer on their home page, so try here:
http://www.xequte.com/dijialbum/ and we find it !! The program has a lot of versatility beyond this.

Yes, you can insert a sound file or record directly with the program.
