With Photo 4.2, album photos can optionally be shown within Picture Frames, a new Tower Gallery has been introduced, and Phota screen displays can be continuously shared with other programs through the Spout system.  See below for further details:

• Picture Frames =>  Album Photos can now
   
  optionally be shown within decorative Picture Frames.  Click an Album Photo (or hit the Up Arrow key) to view the image as a framed full-screen enlargement.  If a photo is larger than the framed image, the Up Arrow can be clicked again to show it without a frame, and again to show the scrollable full-sized photo.  (Hit the Down Arrow key to reverse these operations.)

  The Album Appearance screen includes options to control how Picture Frames are used.  A specific Picture Frame image can be chosen, or set Vary Frames By Page or Vary Frames By Photo to change Frames with each Album page or photo.  Just select No Frames if you prefer to not show Frames (which might allow displayed photos to be sized slightly larger).  A Picture Frame Width slider is available to adjust the relative thickness of Frames.  The Gallery Options screen also provides options for how Picture Frames are used within 3D Galleries.

• Tower Gallery =>  The new
   
  Tower Gallery exhibits Album photos rising progressively upward along the walls of a tall circular structure.  When Explore is activated, the Tower is entered through a door at the bottom, and then a central spiral staircase is climbed.  While stepping up along the staircase, the viewer pauses before each photo, and a full-screen enlargement of that image is displayed.  Finally, near the top of the Tower, the steps climb toward the exit door, which leads to the Next Gallery.

  As with the other Galleries, it's also possible to use keyboard commands to manually travel around a Tower, to look up or down, and to levitate upward or downward.  A photo can be clicked to view a full-screen enlargement.  The structure and appearance characteristics of Galleries can be configured through the Gallery Options screen.
  

• Spout Out =>  It is now possible to continuously share Phota screen displays with other programs that are equipped to receive them.  When Spout Out is toggled on, Phota becomes a Spout Sender, continuously making its screen displays available to other programs that can be Spout Receivers, such as Resolume and Mad Mapper.  This capability might be useful to VeeJays and other performance artists.  The Spout Out option can be found under the VJ Menu.
