Image slideshow creation application for Windows XP that can apply touch-up, crop, rotation and other image improvements inside of the application during a slideshow.

Microsoft Photo Story is a free tool for Windows users with which it is possible to develop emotional photographic presentations with a mixture of images, music and voice narration.

Creating a slideshow is as simple as selecting the images that will compose it, applying graphic effects to them, inserting tags that describe their content, establishing transitions and recording the final narration.

The program allows you to apply a dozen graphic filters to the photographs, ranging from a simple line drawing to brushstrokes and sketches.

In addition, there are more than twenty different transitions: stars, fades, horizontal and vertical shifts.

The output formats are also very numerous. In addition to DVD and CD, there are others for portable devices, ranging from SmartPhones to Pocket PC or PSP.

With Microsoft Photo Story you can even create your own music for the slideshow, as long as you prefer a homemade melody to a song in MP3 format.

Note: This application is ancient and designed for Windows XP.
