Will PhotoStory 3 install in Windows 7 without any issues?
I don’t think there’s any such thing as ‘without any issues’?? 🙂 But, yes, we use PhotoStory on Windows 7 – it works fine, even though its web page says it’s for XP only.
The quality of the audio portion of your learning videos varies greatly. A few videos have a audio with a hum in it that’s probably due to 60 cycle AC. It can be very distracting and ruins an otherwise well thought out video. I appreciate that you manage to keep each video fairly short.

this looks really great. I just scanned 7000 slides into my laptop when I was in Fl. over the winter. I used the HP G4050 scanner that scans 16 slides at on time, and put them in albams. can I still work with them in picasa? I would like to join Geeks on Tour if I can do this.
I wish I had came across your web site before I did all that work, but maybe all is not lost.
Thanks, Bob
If the results are .jpg files, then yes – you can work with them in Picasa. Also, this article might help: http://picasatutorials.com/2011/04/scan-4-pictures-in-one-pass-then-separate-with-export/
