While PowerPoint includes a very capable Photo Album feature that lets you quickly insert multiple photos in a presentation, you still need to add the animations yourself -- also there's no navigation between viewing pictures and slides.
Our review product is a PowerPoint add-in that simplifies the process of inserting pictures with animation and navigation.
Animated Photo Album is from PowerPoint Alchemy, a company based in the UK. You can learn more about Animated Photo Album and download the demo version from their site.
Animated Photo Album allows you to batch import images into an animated photo album presentation -- each page of the photo album includes five
thumbnails which grow-animate to the larger-central photo in turn (on click) -- see Figure 1.
