I have the family album on my mmc card. I just use the Image Viewer that comes installed. I crop things to the 800x480 aspect ratio. Image Viewer has full screen, and the joystick controls get you to the next/previous. It also has zoom in and out.

Before electronics, I used a photo album. It was high tech. You insert your photos into plastic sleeves. I had my film printed on 4"x6", because that's the aspect ratio of the negative in the 35mm format. 3"x5" does arbitrary cropping. There were no fading effects, no nothing, just flip to the next. It also supports flipping to the previous, quickly going to the first or last shots.

The 770 screen is very good for this sort of thing. The dots are really small. Active color is better than passive (a print) because you can get wider depth of color with projection. The 16 bit color does better than expected - and has the feel of 24 bit color. For this to be perfect, each color has to be used, on average, for about 6 pixels on this 800x480 screen. That's OK.

My audience appreciates it when my photo album is short. Just the best shots. My family album has maybe eight shots right now. I think they'll like it.

I blame gratuitous fades and other effects on PowerPointless.

But the 770 can do full screen video, at least with the DSP. So gratuitous effects are not beyond it's power. It's just a matter of software.
