It is a very simple process. In an nutshell, follow theses steps:
- run the software
- select a background image
- add photos, folders containing photos, on-line albums, webcams, etc.
- export your layout using File -> Export Layout menu option.
You are now ready to share the layout with someone.
You can either post it to the web site
(from the main toolbar choose
Share, then
Post to Web) or you can privately e-mail it to someone (choose
Share, then
Send by E-Mail option)
The software exports your layout into a file with .dtw extension. DTW stands for
desk
top
wallpaper and it is a stand-alone file which can be copied, saved, and generally passed around any way you like.
Important note: if you create a wallpaper containing a slideshow, and that slideshow contains pictures found on your computer (local slideshow),
others WILL NOT be able to view your local photos. It is a conscious design decision for security purposes.
If you want to have a shared slideshow you need to create an online photo album, and create a slideshow that uses that album.
