The ProShow Gallery

The ProShow Gallery offers users a way to share slideshows in their native
PX format. In this native format, you are able to view a show online and
take advantage of the show controls and interactivity options that are only
available in the Executable format.

The ProShow Gallery isn't intended to be a replacement for other online
sharing services. It's simply another way to share shows online quickly and
with ease. For your online video sharing needs, Photodex highly
recommend services like YouTube or Vimeo.

To create a show and upload it to the ProShow Gallery, you'll need to create
a Photodex.com member account. Anyone can create a free account and
upload shows to their personal online Gallery. Once you have an account,
you can upload as many shows, of any length that you want to share.

Note: Viewing a show in the ProShow Gallery requires that you and any
visitors to your Gallery install the Presenter Plug-in. This plug-in allows your
web browser to play slideshows in their native PX format. The Presenter
Plug-in is only available for Windows. Mac users will not be able to view
shows uploaded to the ProShow Gallery. More details about Presenter can
be found a little later in this chapter.

To Publish a Show to the ProShow Gallery

1. Complete and save your show, then switch over to the Publish
Workspace

2. In the Publishing Formats pane select ProShow Gallery from
the list and either double-click or press the Create button.

The options window that opens up features three tabs that you’re already
familiar with: Menu, Shows, and Options. The first two tabs feature the
same choices that are found when making DVD, Blu-ray, etc. Let's focus on
the Options tab, which is where you decide how your show will be sent to
the ProShow Gallery.
