Note
What is PhotoStory?
It is a free Microsoft program that allows you to create slideshows with effects, soundtracks, and your voice narration, thus creating a story with your photos. You can do simple editing like touch-up, crop, rotate, remove red-eye, and add titles and captions. Turn still photos into a movie type show with up to 5 minutes of audio on each picture.
