Java Slideshow Program
Hi, everyone.
I myself use Windows on my main computer (and Linux on another one, so no one attack me), but I was at someone's house who had a Mac and I noticed iPhoto's Effects plugin, and its corresponding screensaver. I was blown away by the smooth, simple, and tasteful pan, zoom, and fade effects that were produced in between pictures. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping a novice Java programmer like myself to make a program/applet/secreensaver, in Java, that would produce the same effects for a photo slideshow.
Basically, the thing would work like this:
1) A JPEG photo would fade onto the screen.
2) It would slowly pan diagonally in one of four directions while zooming in or out.
3) Fade/Dissolve into another photo.
4) Repeat steps 2-4.
Anyone think this is a worthy project? If so, I'll make a project space on Sourceforge. It also needs a name, I was thinking of simply calling it jSlideshow.
Anyone want to help?
