Excellent software today with a wide range of effects to apply....
And it's very handy especially for webmasters keen on adding animated gifs on their websites.

Thumbs UP!

However, for more complex animations, my today's recommendation goes to an awesome Open Source program called "Blender"....you'll be amazed on what this software can do for you for FREE (yes, you heard me right: it's FREE!!!):

To add funny backgrounds to your phoos and create animated gifs for your websites, you can also use these terrific and hassle free freeware (first FREE tool mentioned below even enables you to create professional logo, buttons or web icons for your websites as well):

Want to create an astonishing slideshow with a background sound (wav, mp3 or ogg), subtitles, tons of transictions and special effects or even a MOVIE from still photos for FREE, and then save it on a DVD or share it online with your friends and/or relatives on social networks or on your blog/website??

Too good to be true?? Certainly NOT!!

So once again with your Italian friend Giovanni there's no need to pay anything anymore even for this kind of apps!!!

Now the question is: is there a non-saturated field developers can make money with? Who knows...LOL!

Enjoy!!

ok no comments have passed moderation at time of writing, so took matters into my own hands LOL

The version offered here today is 2.1.3 which is the August update.

There are a number of new and improved existing features that can be found in their blog but no single overall list of what's new or version history, and I do not have time to compile one.

Now for the good news, the 2.0.0 givaway license code works with this new version AND you can obtain it using the built in Update feature of the program... be aware that the update program checks for updates to all programs produced by the vendor you happen to have installed so to be on safe side remember to deselect the other products until such time we have reliable reports that they too can be updated safely without reverting to a trial. Thanks DesktopPaints.com for not excluding us from the frequent minor version number updates you have produced since the last giveaway and good to see such active development on products and not holding back advances for larger update releases. Keep up the good work!

Software looks pretty cool, downloaded and installed with no problems. As someone who does a lot with images, I'll definitely have fun with this program. I like all of the effects that you can add, wish that there was a little more control over some of it, but it's still pretty cool (I would like to be able to specify where I want the lightning strikes). Saves as either .gif, video, or as a standalone which is pretty cool. Could very easily make my own screen savers. Thanks GOTD.

minor correction to my previous post, although the update procedure worked using the current offerings license code and did not complain when I put back in the 2.0.0 code, on restarting it did complain that the code was invalid and advised to use the new offers code...

But it still seemed able to export animations with the old code in without any watermark I could see and showed no outward signs that it was not registered appart from the inital nag box. So not quite as liberal as I said in my previous comment but not as bad as it could have been. Still thimbs up.

In addition to #1 Jeffs request to be able to fix the origin of lightning effects, I'd like to see it specified as a user defined and resizable bar so one can define a cloud line where lightening can originate from but not have it in clear portions of the sky or make it never able to strike a building in a photo so it is constrained but still potentially random within those constraints. I could then imagine many types of pictures that could be brought to life, if one could specify the angle the lightning is fired at one could use it in fantisy RPG animations for lighting bolt spell casting shots LOL

Also I note on lightning bolt effects the slider for size only goes upto 500 pixels but you can manually put in ALOT more 1000 or even 5000! Just type the value in and select one of the other boxes for the manual entry to take effect.

How does one go about ordering the "Extension Pack: Nature" at no cost, as is stated in the link?

Clicking on the "Purchase" button takes you to a checkout, where you are required to pay. Is there some other step I am missing. I am not going to pay for it, if it is supposed to be a free giveaway for today's GOTD...

Is there a key to enter later in the purchase steps? Not willing to start the process before knowing.
Thanks
