"Create lively digital slide shows with this all-purpose photo program by dragging pictures from your hard drive onto an interface that lets you easily rearrange, add, and remove shots."
Big Learning News, May 2004
"Your budding film makers will enjoy creating slideshows. You just select the photos you want to put in the show, and add titles, captions, and spoken narration. You can choose from variety of backgrounds and themes to give the show a polished look. The program puts everything together and the shows come out looking very slick."
“We found a way to take it one step further. We started offering photo CDs that are
custom silk-screened with our name, colors, and logo, and include Callisto Corp.'s
excellent photo software, CD Picture Essentials. It has been customized specifically
for Scott's Photo,” he continues. “We call it Scott's CD."
There are abundant programs available to do this (including Apple iPhoto, Adobe Photoshop Album and Microsoft Digital Image Suite).
However, I chose to use Callisto PhotoParade Essentials this time because my relatives all have PCs and this software enables them simply to insert the CD and watch the show, without having to download or update a player.
"Making digital slide shows has just gotten easier with the latest version of PhotoParade software.
With an easy interface and many options for themes, captioning and fun templates,
the program is intuitive, fast and yields great results."
"People are always asking me what’s the best software for making slide shows.
That, my friends, is an easy one: it’s Callisto’s PhotoParade (www.photoparade.com)."
"There are more than a few software developers who would love to sell you a program to create slide shows
from your digital photos. For the most part they are easy to use.
"PhotoParade Maker," however, gets the prize for being the flat out easiest slide-show maker I have ever used."
"Kids love to share digital photos. Here are two programs that make sharing images more fun than simply attaching them to an e-mail.
"PhotoParade" comes with great presentation features and is a breeze to use. "3D-Album" has snazzier looking photo displays, but its presentation features aren't as practical or as easy to use."
"Another easy to use tool for creating slide shows is PhotoParade Maker. Like PhotoShop Album, PhotoParade lets you add opening titles and closing credits, as well as an extended caption for each image. (PhotoShop Album limits the length of the caption to about one line.) But the biggest innovation is the addition of themed backgrounds. The basic PhotoParade package comes with four themes, including my family's favorite, Silent Movie, which features an old-fashioned theater complete with curtains, stage, an audience that applauds, and a honky-tonk piano player who accompanies your slide show. When it comes time to share your slideshow with others, you simply click on the "Send" button, type in the e-mail address of the recipient, and off it goes. Rather than sending the entire slide show, PhotoParade sends a link to its website and gives the lucky viewer ten days to download the show, along with the free PhotoParade Player software needed to view it."
"Which choice is best? ...my personal favorite for slide shows is PhotoParade because of its consistently high image quality and ease of use."
"PhotoParade 4.0 should be renamed "Great Slideshows for Dummies."
It's so quick and easy to create a professional-looking slideshow you can e-mail to friends,
save on a CD-ROM, or use as a screensaver."
"You keep hundreds of digital photos on your PC’s hard drive.
The problem is finding a purpose (other than collecting virtual dust)
for all of those images. PhotoParade does the trick, helping you create
screen savers and slideshows with just a few clicks."
"We've all got a hard disk full of digital images.
The problem is, what do we do with them? Showing off photos
is important--and PhotoParade is a cool little program that
makes it a snap to share your favorite images with friends and family."
Insanely Great Mac, December 2002
"This app has lots of features that Apple's iPhoto needs badly."
Children's Software Revue, November 2002
"The school version of PhotoParade makes a nice addition to your classroom software library.
You get the same easy-to-use slide show maker as in the consumer version, so you can quickly
turn photos of classroom events into entertaining slide shows with music and special effects."
About.com, October 2002
"PhotoParade Maker helps you create delightful slide shows in just a few minutes."
"If you're looking for a simple digital photo album that will display pictures easily and with flair,
Callisto Corp.'s PhotoParade software may be for you."
"Callisto Corporation offers PhotoParade, a way for shutterbugs to create and share slideshows and screen savers with their digital pictures.
CEO and founder Mike Barta shares his thoughts on how Callisto is riding a very big wave."
"For a more animated presentation, why not create your own slide show?
PhotoParade, a $19.99 program from Callisto Corp. allows both Windows and Macintosh users to create computer slide shows complete with themes and audio."
"PhotoParade.com is one site that's focused on offering products and tools that turn even the most artistically challenged types into multimedia wizards."
"Using the program is ridiculously easy. I was able to whip out a spiffy-looking ''PhotoParade'' in about five minutes by importing photos from my hard drive onto a ''gallery page.''
Saskatoon StarPhoenix, 9/22/02
"Callisto manufactures a neat little program called PhotoParade that will let you produce this slideshow in a matter of minutes and with a minimum of fuss."
Photo District News, September 2002
"Callisto Corporation's PhotoParade is designed to help consumers create and share slide shows and screen savers with friends and family. Consumers of any technical ability can produce slide shows with themes, music, graphics and even narration. It eliminates the need to attach multiple large JPEG files, allowing even dial-up Internet customers to join in."
Popular Photography, September 2002
"If you really love your pictures, you'll want to see them every day. Some slideshows/scrapbook programs, including [...] PhotoParade by Callisto Corp., enable you to save your slideshow in a screen-saver format. When your computer is on but not in use, your slideshow will automatically kick in."
"Tired of all those complex programs that include a multitude of useless functions? Then you'll love Callisto's PhotoParade, a program that does only one thing, but does it extremely well. PhotoParade turns average digital photographs into a delightful digital display."
"The software makes it extremely easy to create shows with musical backgrounds. My favorite theme (I usually hate themes) is "Just Photos" because it places the images on a plain black background making the display look tasteful, almost elegant."
PC Photo Magazine, October 2002
"Callisto's PhotoParade lets you create a slide show of your digital images to share with family and friends. Using a variety of templates complete with music, you can import images and add titles, captions and your own MP3 sound files via a simple drag-and-drop interface."
AARP Computers and Technology, September 2002
"For my first creation, I chose six photos and was able to complete a fully functional slide show in an astonishingly short five minutes."
Metrowest Daily News
"The founders of Callisto Corp. thought it should be as easy to send family photos over the Internet as it is to snap them. The Natick-based software firm, which spent years developing children's education software and video games, set out to make software that creates digital photo albums easy enough for a child to use."
Jupiter Media Metrix, January 2002
PhotoParade listed as a top ten photo-services sites.
Bits & Bytes
"PhotoParade by the Callisto Corporation creates albums with various themes, 40 to be exact, that you can email to friends or family. The interface on this program is made for the novice as well as the seasoned computer user. It was a pure joy to use."
Fresno Macintosh Users Group
"Now that PhotoParade 3.0 is here for the Macintosh, I can create a slide show like no other and send it through email to my friends and family."
"We'll be honest, Callisto's PhotoParade 3.0 won't meticulously map your financial future, create intricate blueprints of your new house, or provide penitentiary-like security for your PC. This software is meant for fun, and fun it is."
TechCentral Ireland
"Using the easy, step-by-step interface anyone can create a dazzling slideshow that will thrill your family and friends. Start by adding the photos you want to use into a group, select one of the 38 professionally designed themes, and PhotoParade will do the rest. PhotoParade Maker 3 also includes editing tools for touching up and enhancing your photos before converting them to slideshows."
vnunet.com --UK technology news, reviews and downloads
"Utilising an extremely engaging and simple interface, PhotoParade is designed to make the process of creating a slideshow from your snapshots as easy as possible, while still providing you with a great range of options."
Mass High Tech
"What distinguishes PhotoParade from other slideshow programs for beginners is its gallery concept. A gallery is a package of music and effects anchored by a theme. You import your photos into a gallery and PhotoParade does the rest. As you can imagine, the program is very easy to work with."
