Use Strict Timing For Pictures
When you select this option, Easy Slide Show Creator™ will guarantee
that your pictures will be displayed for as long as you specified
them to when creating your slide show. This is the default
option for the program and is good when you aren't syncing
the music with picture transitions.
Use Non-Strict Timing For Pictures
When you select this option, Easy Slide Show Creator™ will change
to the next picture whether the current picture has been displayed
for the specified time or not. This option should be used when
trying to sync the changing of pictures to a particular point
in a song in your music playlist. When playing slide shows
from CD-ROM, it takes longer to load the picture file from
the CD than it does from your hard drive. If you have synced
your show while playing it on your hard drive, this option
will give you similar results when playing from CD. Please
note that it's possible that your pictures will not display
for as long as you specified them to because of the increased
load time.
