Surf’s up! Jibe Studio, a creative services company specializing in web, motion, and identity design, is using SlideShowPro to present their portfolio of work in a colorful, beautiful interface. Check it out.
Featuring the work of renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, Building The Times is using SlideShowPro to present photographs documenting the construction of The New York Times building in Manhattan. Photos are inspired by the 1930s photographs of Margaret Bourke-White and Lewis Hine, who documented the construction of the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, respectively. SlideShowPro is given a simple, flat turquoise color treatment that fits right into the site layout.
The enterprising Jonathan Richter has created a free PHP script that publishes XML for SlideShowPro from Coppermine, a very popular open source photo gallery application. Anyone currently using Coppermine can download the script and instantly publish XML for their SWF containing SlideShowPro. Or, if you have PHP/MySQL on your web server and could use a web-based administrative application for SlideShowPro (instead of editing XML by hand) this works for that as well. Installation instructions, FAQs, requirements and script download available here. Thanks Jonathan!
A quick update to fix a nasty little bug introduced in version 1.2.5 concerning permalinks. The navigation bar wouldn’t draw correctly if SlideShowPro were instantiated using a permalink URL. This has been fixed. A free update for all 1.0 users. Login to your user account to download.
Built by Thugs, a new show on the Speed cable network, is using SlideShowPro on the program web site. Click on “Bikes and Whips” to see their implementation.

Quite possibly one of the largest layouts I’ve seen, painter and illustrator Siv Storøy takes the concept of a gallery to the extreme. SlideShowPro hangs on the wall surrounded by a gilded frame, bookshelves, framed objects, and even a boat in a bottle. A unique and wildly original presentation. Check it out.
Designer Joe Richter is using SlideShowPro to power his online portfolio of web, print, and multimedia work. SlideShowPro is given an attractive white and light brown wood tone to match the background of his attractive site.
One of the more active threads in the forums has been this one started by Brad Daily (the same guy behind SSPAdmin) where he constructed a thumbnail-based navigation using SlideShowPro’s event listeners as his data source. Well it sparked quite a bit of interest, so an FLA of his creation has been posted to the user section. Login to your user account, and it’s the first download under “Other Downloads.” Check it out!
