Photo Slideshow Software

Facebooktwitterlinkedin

Today’s Question: It seems that the Slideshow module in Lightroom Classic has gotten virtually no updates for quite a long time. I wonder if there is other software you recommend for creating photo slideshows?

Tim’s Quick Answer: For Macintosh users I consider iMovie to be a great application for making photo slideshows. For both Windows and Macintosh the Movavi Slideshow Maker is also very good.

More Detail: I agree that the Slideshow module in Lightroom Classic hasn’t gotten much attention from Adobe in a while, and my anecdotal experience has been that photographers haven’t been paying much attention to it either. Fortunately, there are a variety of great software tools available for creating compelling photo slideshows.

For Macintosh users, I consider Apple iMovie to be a great application for easily creating impressive photo slideshows, and it is completely free. There is a mobile version for iPhone and iPad, but I recommend using the computer-based version for more options and flexibility. You can learn more about iMovie on Apple’s website here:

For Windows users I suggest looking at the Movavi Slideshow Maker, which is available for both Windows and Macintosh. This is also an easy-to-use tool that enables you to create great results with minimal effort. You can learn more about Movavi Slideshow Maker here:
