Slideshow Pro

[chrisvl]

How easy is it to use this?
How easy to create and maintain galleries?
Need to get my Glam site up and this seems to be the tool of choice.
Anyone ever use it with Joomla?

Need to hear from actual users so if you know someone post a link.
Thanks.

it's fairly simple if you go with the Slideshowpro plugin for lightroom, as it writes all the code and does all the dirty work for you.

The stand-alone program requires you to mess a bit with XML, so it can be a little complicated. I've used both, and prefer the plugin for it's easy integration into my workflow.

I second the LR plugin comment. Also check out the TTG Monoslideshow (http://theturninggate.net/lightroom/ttg-monoslideshow-gallery) LR plugin. It'll let you do a Ken Burns which is sweet if that's an option you're looking for.

I've used both though, and found that sometimes I like one, and sometimes I like the other. In general though, the LR web gallery export modules work really well.
