Ameed you're right in one thing: this is not for you. Iam not defending Photodex but this is just a way for people that want to do small size slideshows (you know it can be done) and that do not have the program, to be able to do it online. PC and Mac users.

The title of the article is just a journalistic exploration of a fact that is somehow truth: Mac users will be able to use ProShow now. Some Mac users, at least.

I understand your point of view, but it's not only professional photographers that use Mac. And many people wanting to do small shows for their websites (what I guess will be the main use of this software) will be happy to try it. Photodex is only, after all, following the trend. Look at Animoto.

I guess Photodex just felt that they had to do something on the web - we already have Photoshop on the web, book making and so many other things... even if they are not for all users. And besides giving users another way to try the program, they're also doing their marketing. I think that is the main reason why they do it.

And maybe, and please be aware that I've no information on this, ProShow Web might be a step into the path to have a Mac version, for desktop use, of the program.

Remember, and I feel I've to say this, that this is not something for everybody to use. I for one, although amused at the idea would not dreaming of use it for my work. My final slideshows made with Producer have over 2GB sometimes.

Still, I guess some people will love the option. The example from other products of the same genre already on use on the web shows that there is a market. Photodex just could not forget it. And it's just because it's on the web that Mac users can use it.
