Abstract

This paper presents SMIL PhotoShow, an authoring tool for photo books, which allows the creation of enhanced multimedia presentations, enriched with audio (music or spoken) comments, transition effects and animations in a very simple way. Our tool allows to create a digital counterpart of a printed photo book with the aim to bridge the gap between digital web albums and printed photo books. Since authoring a photo book is a time consuming activity, SMIL PhotoShow provides the users also the possibility to create, with only three clicks, an engaging slideshows with transition effects and background music.
