Step 2OK - let's get started
1. Scan your pics into the computer.
2. Load them into Irfanview and straighten them (F12 for toolbox) and then crop them. NB: Irfanview is rubbish at correcting red-eye: use something else (eg Picasa - free download from Google. There are tools in Photo Story - the buttons underneath Winston in the screenshot - but they are basically rubbish).
You may want to resize/resample the files in Irfanview so that they are not too big. If all your pics are huge the files take forever to load; your eventual resolution will only be 768x576 anyway so more rez is wasted. I find under 1000 x 1000 pixels works well.
3. Open up Photo Story 3. On the opening screen NEW PROJECT is selected by daefault. Click NEXT and then IMPORT PICTURES. Load up some pics. Click NEXT. I suggest you ignore the REMOVE BLACK BORDERS thing: I find it just messes up your formatting. So when it asks incredulously if you REALLY want to continue without removing black borders just say YES. Unlike Barbara Bush.
For this example, we'll be making a slideshow about three British prime ministers. Here they are loaded into Photo Story. You can see that the first pic is showing in the main screen and all three are showing in the strip at the bottom.
