Digital Home Thoughts: ProShow Gold 4.1 and Producer 4.1 Released

The list of what's new in ProShow Gold 4.1 is quite extensive - they've added the ability to upload directly to Facebook and Vimeo, and announce the show via Twitter at the same time. They've significantly improved the slide style interface, group styles into logical collections, which makes finding slide styles easier. Unfortunately, the two most irritating things about apply slide styles remain intact: first, that you can't apply a slide style to a group of photos at once, and second, that every time you apply a slide style, you get a pop-up warning asking you to confirm the slide style change. That means if you have a slide show with 50 slides, you're going to have to click 100+ times to get the same slide style applied to each photo. I really like this software, but I don't understand how a product aimed at professionals (Producer) isn't more streamlined in terms of workflow. Every click saved helps!
