We now also have a "Quiz" category.

Once you click an answer, the color will change to notify you and your selected answer will be posted as a comment on that photo automatically.

The Best New Quiz Shows Of the Week!

If you have not made a quiz with one of your slideshows yet, here are some good examples to get you started:
Summer 08/09 Demonstrates using a quiz to tell a joke.

NBA Test Is a quiz for basketball fans.

Because we feel quizzes hold a lot of entertainment value, we encourage you to try some of these ideas and see how much fun you can have with this new feature:

Use Quizzes to:
- gather your friend's opinions on something you want to buy or sell
- asking friends to describe something you do not quite understand
- getting feedback or advice on a project
- making decisions

To make quiz, simply click the "edit caption" button at the bottom of your slideshow and click the "quiz button".

We hope you enjoy the service and all of the new updates.

Please let us know what you think by shooting us a feedback.

Love,

New Features For You! : All-New Editor View, Speed Control, and On-Slide Quizzes

Dear PhotoPeach users,

This week, we have completed some wonderful new features that we think take PhotoPeach slideshows to the next level.

 

1. New Peachy Editor to Help You Tell Better Stories Online!

With our new editor you can now:
  • Choose where to show the caption on each photo (center or bottom)
  • Explain your stories in more detail by inserting a blank slide with text only.
  • One-Click Duplicate photos to make better explanations and transitions. 



Start using the new editor today by clicking the "Edit caption" button below your slideshows! The editor is incredibly simple yet supports making more elaborate slideshows than ever before.

For your comparison, here is an example of both the new slideshow and the old one to showcase its features:

Tug of War: Original

 

2. Fine-Grain Speed Control Options

Want to change the speed of photo changes in your slideshow?



  • Step 1: Simply click the "edit caption" button at the bottom of your slideshow and to enter the new editor and you'll see the speed control slider at the bottom.
  • Step 2: Drag the bar to change the speed to your desired value and then click "preview" to check the result.
  • Step 3: Click "OK" to permanently save this speed for the entire slideshow and return to the normal view.

Here is an example of a really fast slideshow to show what you can do with the speed adjustment:

3. Introducing the All-New Quiz Concept to the PhotoPeach service.

Now you can make slideshows with a quiz for your friends and family to test their knowledge.



When inside the editor,
  • Step 1: Select the slide you wish to add a quiz to, and click the quiz button on the left.
  • Step 2: Add a question for your audience, add two or three possible answers, and be sure to click the circle next to the correct one.
  • Step 3: Click "OK" to save the changes.

Use our sharing buttons below the slideshow on the viewing page to send the quiz to your audience and test their knowledge or get feedback.

We can't wait to see you create your own new public quiz show! See an example here.
That wraps up our new features for this week. We sincerely hope you enjoy them.

As always, please provide any feedback you may have; we always love to hear your opinions.

A Big Thank You goes out to all of our users who responded to the questionnaire. It has already proven to be invaluable feedback and the Amazon Gift cards have been sent to the 10 lucky winners.

Thanks for using our service.

Love,
The PhotoPeach Team
