Using Photo Story

Photo Story Lesson
Photo Story 3.0Notes by Mike Garofalo, 7/30/07Photo Story is a free Microsoft product. To get it you go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspxFollow the instructions and download to your computer’s hard drive. To use:Save all the pictures you want to use in one folder on your hard drive, server space, Flickr space, USB flash drive, or CD. For today’s lesson I used pictures from Flickr on “Kids and Computers” as well as some photos from EETT3-EAST. Open Photo Story. Click on “Begin a New Story.” Next. Click on Import Pictures. For today, browse to the CD I gave you, Web2Training, PhotoStoryPracticeFolder. Highlight all the picture (.jpg or .gif) files (i.e. Shift + Ctrl + End). Click OK. Now you can organize the pictures in the order you want them. Right click on a picture to select Delete. Next. Add a title to the first slide. Next.Add your narration if you’d like to do so. You’ll need a microphone plugged into the computer. Next.Select some music (MP3 or WMA). There are a few songs on the CD I gave you that you can use. Adjust volume of background music. Next. Save your work. Give it a name. Next. View your story. Here is what my “Kids and Computers” Photo Story sounds like: http://www.egreenway.com/workshops/MikeVersion.wmvYou can go back and edit your saved Photo Story. Yes, Kids Can Do This Too!!It is EASY!
