Graphic Converter is great. It even makes web pages with thumbnail
links to larger images. You have complete control over sizes, etc.
Photoshop also has a similar feature. There are other apps that also
do this.
I'd love to find one that would convert my photos to a quicktime
movie slide show. This would make a simple way of sharing photos that
can be reviewed quickly, sent as attachments, archived, etc.
The message forwarded below came to me yesterday from the Son of Evangelist
list.
Seems like this is the answer to your prayers if you don't mind
having all the pictures in the sequence having the same name root.
OK for some reason it didn't survive the forwarding.... maybe eGroups
stripped off the forwarding?
Anyhow here is the text of the message I tried to forward....

Randy,
I've been using "Slides and Sound Plus" for self-contained slide shows.
But it has some serious limitations and will not be updated. (Among
others, it seems to not work under OS 9.04.) I need a better program than
this one.
I'm not sure how technical you want to get or what kind of slideshow you
have in mind, but QuickTime lets you make slide shows out of just a series
of image files with appropriate names. You can advance each slide just by
clicking on an arrow key, or make them auto-advancing.
This site has AppleScripts that automate that process:

Here's the page at apple that tells you about the slideshow creation process
itself:

There are a number of other qt apps that give you more flexibility, though I
can't think of one off-hand that is targeted at slideshows alone. MovieWorks
comes to mind as one possibility though: <>.
There's also a tutorial for adding sound, and mp3's will work there too, of
course. Adding a soundtrack that loops would require a sprite, but again I
know there are solutions out there.
An advantage of QT is that it's cross-platform and free to users. A movie is
not quite self-contained, but who doesn't have QT these days? ;-)
