I wrote this software in Spring of 2007 in order to control images on video displays. It literally "mashes up" folders of images and you can control many of its effects invisibly and in realtime, which is good for live performances. While Slideshow Mashup is still in beta, this hasn't stopped it from going live, and I mean, live-- as in little red theatre's production of The White Wolf.
