One feature I would like to see added would be the option of creating a custom slide (similar to Keynote) that I can include as closing credits. Hopefully with basic text formating functions with hyperlink creation capabilities. Additional export options to Facebook or YouTube would be excellent. The slide effects are great.

My only "complaint" is that it seems to run slowly (at least on my intel mac mini). However, iPhoto's screen shows run fine, so I don't necessarily think it's my hardware.

It would be awesome to be able to just drag a few pictures from any folder or drive to an icon in the dock and have a dialog pop up to select a few (emphasis on few) options -like default/random transition effect, speed and loop- and done. It would be a nice feature to have when you've just returned from a vacation or trip and everyone's eager to watch the photos you've just taken without the hassle of importing them into iPhoto first. I would also improve the app's functionality when your Mac is using a low-res (standard-def TV) as a second display (like maybe auto-resize to fit, not having to use the displays in "mirror" mode). Last but not least, some performance improvements for those of us still on G4 Macs would be welcome. Overall I think it's a great app that does its thing beautifully. I second the “docklet” function.

Another improvement PhotoPresenter (and iPhoto) could make is the ability to make slideshows from photos from various events, not just one. Also, I haven't figured out how to save a slideshow in PhotoPresenter - is it not possible?

I downloaded PhotoPresenter and tried making slideshows on both programs, and I must say they seem to do almost the exact same thing. Other than extra transitions, has PhotoPresenter got any other extra features that iPhoto doesn't have? I noticed that it can create screensavers from the slideshows, while iPhoto will only do that with events, but I don't really see the point in buying an extra app when iPhoto already does much the same thing. As for improvements, neither iPhoto nor PhotoPresenter have the option to randomly play songs in a playlist. This means that if you have multiple slideshows using the same playlist, they will always play the same songs, in the same order; and if there aren't many photos in the playlists, they will play only the first song all the time.
