Ease of Use:  

AL Pictures Slideshow Studio is so stripped down that there’s not much to complicate the process. All the controls are located on one central screen, including importing, picture adjustment and slideshow saving.

Design Features:  

This category is certainly AL Pictures Slideshow Studio’s weakest point. Most of the features that one should look for in a photo slideshow software program this product simply didn’t have. However, this program does boast an impressive 182 separate transition effects. 

Input/Output:  

AL Pictures Slideshow Studio is limited to simple screensaver publication, ruling out any actual publication beyond the computer screen. No photos can be added to the AL Pictures Slideshow Studio library without first being uploaded and reformatted.

Slideshow Quality:  

The quality of a slideshow created by AL Pictures Slideshow Studio is great for picture viewing, but only allows you to view your show as a screensaver or an executable file—saving to a DVD or a CD is just not an option. 

Help/Support:  

AL-Software Team supports AL Pictures Slideshow Studio though FAQs, email support and a telephone support line. There are not, however, any tutorials or a help manual available.

We recommend skipping AL Pictures Slideshow Studio by AL-Software Team altogether. Check out our top-rated Magix Xtreme Photostory on CD & DVD Deluxe instead.
