How to Make a Moving Photo Viewer
A photo gallery or slideshow is used to show a rotating collection of photos. An easy way to create a slideshow is to upload your photos to a website, such as Flickr, and open them as a slideshow. This is useful if you want to share your photos with your online friends. You can also download software to create a photo viewer that runs on your computer. Windows Media Player and Picasa are often used to create a moving photo viewer from photo albums on your computer.
