One way to make your favourite photos more special is to turn them into screensavers. My Screensaver Maker allows you to create a slideshow screensaver based on your favourite photos. Not only that, but it allows you to create a screensaver setup file which you can send to friends and allow them to enjoy the screensaver you've made for them.
Unfortunately, it only supports BMP and JPEG image files although if you want to add a soundtrack, it includes support for WAV, WMA, Mp3's. Once you've loaded your pictures into the interface, there are more than 120 transitional effects. You simply drag and drop images and flash animations into your screensaver sequence. If you've got flash animation skills, you'll also be able to add them to give your screensavers an extra special look.
Once your screensaver is complete, you can output it into either an .EXE or a flash .SWF file. If you want it to be a video, you can turn it into AVI, MPEG, ASF and WMV. If you just want to create a single stand-alone screen saver for your PC only, you can create an .SCR file to add to your control panel.
This is a great tool and a lot of fun but it's a shame that it doesn't support a wider range of image formats as you may find you spend more time converting images than using the program.
