How to Create a Website Slide Show in Adobe CS4
The Adobe Creative Suite includes applications that allow you to quickly assemble media elements and integrate them with web-friendly file formats. Imagine being able to assemble a slide show of various still images then outputting the final project in Adobe Flash. Adobe Encore makes this possible without having to know Adobe Flash programming or write any HTML code. With Adobe Encore CS4, you can quickly assemble a slide show and instruct the program to automatically create the files needed for your website.
