Getting Started in AV

After last evenings meeting (Wed 24 Sep) I checked out FotoMagico on the Apple App Store. It's at version 4 and costs £69.99. Heres a snapshot of the entry.

On the boinx.com site it's offered at $99.99

I for one am looking closely at this product. I've done a presentation in PowerPoint but it isn't as versatile as pictures2exe as presented by Ray Bridges and I'm hoping FotoMagico is a Mac equivalent of pictures2exe. It's worth a try although when I'm not quite sure (even £70 has to be carefully budgeted!)

There are a number of Members Evenings planned for 2014/15 - perhaps one of these can be used to show members efforts in AV? Any takers?

Fotomagico has a five day trial period so it is not necessary to commit to a purchase to establish whether it meets your needs. Pictures2exe has something similar, but I cannot find anywhere on its website where it states how long the evaluation period lasts.

Sorry that you could not make it, Rose. That david Cameron seems like a decent guy, so shall I send him an e-mail asking if you can have the occasional night off? ;)

I admit part of me thinks it would be cool to add a 7th Prime Minister to the list of those I've already worked for... But then I come to my senses LOL

Wow, that must include Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill. ;)

It could have been worse. The first names I thought of were Gladstone and Disraeli. ;)
