Smile! Smilebox can help with those many photos.

Want to do something with all those photos that you can save, share and use to enjoy the memories?  Smilebox is a simple, free software that allows you to create a quick video using still photos.  With this software you can also create collages, invitations, scrapbooks and other items.  This class will show you!  To prepare for this class you will need to download the software either for your laptop or for you Iphone or Ipad. The laptop version is different and more robust than the IPhone/IPad version is quick and simple but limited.  At this time I could not find an app for the Android  tablets. 

 In addition, have 5 or 6 pictures to use to create your video.  This is free software for the basic package.  You will not need  to join Club Smilebox until you try it out…then, you may like it so much you will.

This version will do much, much more than the IPad version.  Consider it for more serious projects.

 

I phone  This version is limited to combining pictures and special picture effects.
