Get your wet floor on in Lightroom

SlideShowPro developer Todd Dominey reports that he’s issued a free update to this Flash gallery component for Lightroom.  Changes include:

• New "Header" area to display a logo (with link), gallery title and gallery description
• New "Wet Floor" effect (see example)
• 4 template groups, each containing 8 variations for landscape/portrait, dimension and aspect ratio (32 options total).
• New inputs to directly assign an audio file and caption
• New Director formatting panel

Todd notes, "The templates are also a great way to get a "fitted" look really quickly, as it calculates all the dimensions for handling 3:2 / 4:3 imagery
without gaps."  SlideShowPro for Lightroom is $25.

Note: It’s also possible to use SlideShowPro together with Photoshop; see previous.
