"Tiny Bubbles" ?? :wink:

"Jaws" always good for a laugh at the start too.

Unless I was going for a comic effect I'd use something bright but unobtrusive. Something in the so-called new age genre with whatever "feel" I wanted. Artists I'm familiar with that might work include:

David Arkenstone
George Winston (piano)
Keiko Matsui
Mannheim Steamroller
Ray Lynch
Andreas Vollenweider
Yanni (early stuff)
Friedemann
Cusco (Island Cruise maybe)
Tangerine Dream's Underwater Sunlight for something uptempo
Kitaro (Astral Voyage for something mysterious)

I prefer to mostly use music that complements the video but doesn't draw attention to itself unless I'm going for something to dramatize a scene or inject a little comedy. In that line, there's always "Yellow Submarine"

Hi El Gringo,

Dick had some good ideas on music. I heard a song recently that I kinda got hooked on. It does have a more modern (soft) techno feel. "Into the Ocean", by Blue October. With 300 photos you will need several tracks. I might also throw in some "Sea of Love", by The Honey Drippers, it's a love song, but would fit well with your theme. Other wise I would agree with Dick's list, plus maybe add John Tesh.

It might surprise everyone, but listening to quite a lot a pieces which i got on my HD, i choose....Romance N 1 OP40 and romance 2 OP 50 from L. Van Beethoven played at the violin by Itzhak Perlman. The two pieces are very soft with a beautiful melody which blend perfectly (in my opinion and taste) with the beauty of the underwater species, coral and color of the fishes.

Doesn't suprise me one bit. I would love it if you shared the show once you are done. I'm going to Roatan in a week and can't wait to see the beauty of the coral and fish!!

You need to upload your show to the Photodex site. You can do that by clicking on the share your show button in Proshow. Once it is uploaded copy and past the url to the show.

Hope that is clear enough. I'm not the best at describing things.

I started the uploading but it seems to take for ever..so i abandon. Is there a faster way of doing it other than going through the share show of the proshow box?
:lol:

Not that I know of. It doesn't take too long if you have high speed internet. Or Photodex could be running slow at the time. OR your show may be very large.

Sorry it didn't work for you.

If you mean the DVD version is 2.6 gigs that is one thing - if
you meant the "sharing" version (.px) is 2.6 gigs, then that is
HUGE and you will find very few people would watch it even
if they could download it. If you did try uploading it with the
"create web show" button, it will first create a show by the
name of dpu???.px in your temp directory (on my XP machine, that
is C:\Documents and Settings\Mikey\Local Settings\Temp ) - you
can look at the size there and see how big the show is that you
would actually be uploading to share.

Hi Mickey and Kelly,
Thanks for the clarification. the DVD version is 2.6 gigs not the share show. One reason i think that the uploading is going very slow is that i am for the summer in a remote area in France and i only a dialup connection not ADSL. the show is about 20 minutes so it should not take too long to upload with ADSL when i am back in Keebee later.
