Exclamation Digital Photography...
Hello friends!

1. Which is the best software to make automatic slide show VCD of multiple pictures with transiction effects in between. The output quality ofcourse shouldn't degrade.

2. Apart from this, which software can resize multiple pictures at a go...

3. I have taken a few pictures in the fine mode from my digital camera. Now after resizing then in Photoshop, when I give the save command and choose JPEG as the format, it asks for the quality. I marked that the best quality ranges from 8-10 and there is a good difference in the picture size in that of 8 and 10. I dont want to compromise with the quality, but when I saved the same picture in both 8 and 10, I could hardly make a difference. Is there really a difference and will it be visible in the printouts.

4. I marked that whenever I open the files in Adobe Photoshop, the pictures seem be a bit more yellowish than it actually is. This happens only in Photoshop and after editing when I save the file and open it in some other software, it is normal there. Then why does it look more yellowish in Photoshop...

I know this is a long list of questions, but I am sure there must be someone to help me out of all this...

Thank you.

i would look at the colour management settings on PS7 - sorry i've forgotten how to get to them now - it may be under EDIT - Preferences but the method of access changed with V8 & 9
see what its set for and if automatically changed
then also look at what setting is used in the camera.
some cameras give you the option of sRGB and adobeRGB1998

theres a number of articles onm colour management workflow on the web
can get quite painful
http://www.normankoren.com/color_management_2A.html
i would suggest in the first instance setting everything to sRGB and see what happens

.
As mentioned ProShow Gold is good one. You can't maintain the original quality especially with VCD. VCD is about the lowest you can possibly go with video for playback on a TV. Even the highest resolution you can use with DVD is quite small relative to the size of a image taken with a digital camera. To put it into pixel terms DVD is about a .35 megapixel image. VCD is about .1 ....

It will look great on TV if you use DVD but what you will lose is a lot of deatail. To get an idea resize one of your images to a width of 720... that's the max resolution of a DVD on TV. For VCD take it to 352.

This of course doesn't apply to any slide show you make specifically for computer playbck with something like Powerpoint...

Thanks guys! I got the batch resizing & batch renaming feature in IrfanView.

By the way, for resizing a picture, which is a better software as per quality, Adobe Photohop or IrfanView. As for the filesize, when I resized a file to 1024x764 with maximum(10) as the quality setting in Photoshop, it turned out to be about 400 KB where as the same turned out to be 150 KB in IrfanView. When zoomed to about 300%, quality of Photoshop was better than that of IrfanView.

Incase if there is any other software better than these two, please let me know...
