The color tool has been redesigned as well and works with new built-in color palettes (you can create your own custom palettes as well).

Add one-click motion filters for exciting photo and video animation and, the “follow” filter-as the name implies-enables your images and videos to move together across the screen. Some of the new creative options include more than 45 photo filters that can be applied to both still images and video. Several years ago, a then 70-something-year-old relative of mine with only basic computer skills picked up ProShow Gold and has been churning out amazing family slideshows ever since. And trust me, despite all of its advanced features, ProShow Gold and Producer are quite easy to use. Now in version 9, both iterations of this slideshow/multimedia program have been updated with a number of new features designed to make you and your slideshows even more creative with less effort than before. For me, it’s the latter that has kept Photodex’s ProShow Gold and ProShow Producer on my Windows desktop for so many years. Sometimes you stick with a software application out of habit other times, you just can’t bring yourself to change because the application is so darn good.
