Hi cc, Thanks! Yeah my family really appreciated the slideshow. Our friends got a real kick seeing themselves too. The thing that took the longest was actually the music and prepping the pictures. Many of the old pictures were somewhat damaged or had some mold (some were slides). I spent many many many hours in photoshop retouching them and rebuilding some faces in some of the really bad ones. Some were not salvagable. The music was hard for me because I had never used cool edit so most of the time was spent trying to learn how to utilize the program and trying to adjust tempo to do some minor beat matching, transitions between songs, and volume adjustment. We also had to remove some people out of pictures (i.e. ex-girlfriend or wife or friend we lost contact with) or in some cases add some people to pictures. I found the most incredible book for photo retouching but I'm at work now so I don't have it on me. I'll post the name later in this thread when I get home. I'm not a photoshop expert, but with this book I had so much more confidence and actually consider myself pretty proficient in photo retouching now. I have to say pictures2exe was the best money/bang for the buck I spent for the wedding hehe Paul
