MemoryMixer
MemoryMixer brings sophistication to family slide show software by adding an ability to overlay a video window on top of the slides and introduce voice narration that can interrupt any background audio -- all of it wrapped up with "Embellishments & Backgrounds," with ribbons and bows and textures.
MemoryMixer comes with 200 backgrounds and more than 1000 embellishments. You can also create printed albums as it ships with more than 30 professionally designed albums and many more are available from professional designers. The vendor has a photo-processing service with delivery to the door.
Comment
MemoryMixer has been vigorously promoted to become a leading brand in this sector. It is sold in the online Apple shop, which gives it a kind of official seal of approval, but it remains a basic program that places a lot emphasis on decoration. This means you have to rely largely on the original quality of your photos, or use a separate editing package.
MemoryMixer certainly offers tasteful designs and a good service. You can sign up for the MemoryMixer newsletter to keep abreast of special promotions and updates.
