In fact, here at Cooliris, we do all our presentations with PicLens. Using PicLens to show your presentation makes it super easy to navigate back and forth among tons of slides.

PicLens Plugin for PowerPoint

After it’s installed, follow these steps to transform your presentation into a dynamic PicLens slideshow.

2. Click the “Add-ins” tab on your PowerPoint toolbar, and then select Create PicLens Gallery to generate a folder of all the files needed your PicLens slideshow.

3. In that folder, click on the file labeled “index.html” to open it in your web browser (works on Firefox only).

4. Then click the PicLens “Wall” button at the top right of your browser toolbar to launch PicLens and your awesome presentation!

SPECS & REQUIREMENTS: The plugin works only on Firefox on a Windows or Vista with files created on PowerPoint 2007. Files created on previous versions will not work. This is a quick work in progress so there are some limitations. For best results, avoid fancy fonts, shading, and fancy layout designs.

For KeyNote (Mac) Users

We don’t quite have working plugin yet, but the great news is that you can still make put your presentation into PicLens. Here’s how:

1. Within KeyNote, save your slides as images (jpg format recommended).

2. Then use our PicLens Publisher to do the rest! Publisher takes your slide images and generates all the files needed for your presentation.

3. Thereafter, just click the index.html file in that folder and launch PicLens in your Firefox browser along with the presentation.
