Three views
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe provides three specialized views for especially
easy editing:

Storyboard mode lists several photos in sequence. Every photo is displayed with a preview
picture in the storyboard. Choose how you want to fade between photos from many different
transition options.

Timeline mode chronologically displays your photos with text and sound elements over four
tracks. The longer the representative object remains in the track, the longer the corresponding
photo will be displayed during playback. In total, you have four tracks to arrange your photos
with titles, movie sequences, and music.

Overview mode displays all photos in multiple rows. The zoom function makes sure that the
number of photos you want to view can be viewed at the same time. Photos or photo groups can
be deleted, or their order in the list can be changed.
Concentrated multimedia power
MAGIX Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe provides a large number of multimedia functions
that help you really get the best out of your photos and make fascinating slideshows from good photos.
For example:

Image optimization: Typical errors (exposure, color, redeye, etc.) can be easily fixed using the
"1 click" effect. Picture size and position can be corrected, for example, by increasing the size, by
rotating, clipping, levelling the horizon, etc. Each editing step is non-destructive, i.e. the original
photos remain the same.

Transitions: Besides the many variations for "simple transitions" (e.g. soft fades, black fades,
page turn, wave, etc.), there are also complex transitions like picture-in-picture fades or thematic
3D fade series (gallery, photo table, notice board, etc.).

3D effect templates to reshape subjects and have them fly through the picture.

1-click animations for transforming photos into videos (jumping, mosaic, kaleidescope, etc.).
