Photostory 3


Telling a Story in Photostory 3

They say a photo is worth a thousand words and it's true. Often one photo can communicate a tremendous amount to the viewer. Sometimes it takes a series of photos to communicate our "story".

Photostory 3 is a simple Windows application that lets you link a series of images in a slide show format. You can add motion effects like those used by documentary film photographer Ken Burns. Different transitions between images can add interest. Words can be added to give extra information on  each of  the photos. Finally you can add music to your production.

Your Assignment

Tell a story or create a "How To" using digital  images. Place them into Photostory 3 and create a continuous slide show.


  • Start with a "Title Page". This page must include an image that has been filter manipulated. (in Photostory 3 or Photoshop).
  • Use a minimum of 10 slides to tell your "story".
  • Use "text" slides (with appropriate background art) to add specific information.
  • Add transitions to each slide.
  • Use motion effects on at least one image. (more is better)
  • Generate music that reflects your story.
  • End with a credit page. Include your name and thanks to those who helped (models) and inspired your project.
