The effects of ordinary Flash works are more mechanical. What it does, is flashing about and stimulating your eyes. Whereas the special flash works that could be fast produced with CommonPhotoStar, is more user-friendly. The new trend technology brought about by the software developed by CommonPhotoStar team could produce a special Photo Movie by a mouse-controlled method, with rich interactive zooming and panning feature, giving people virtual photographic experience. It will doubtlessly gain its share of global market.
Thirteen years have passed since Macromedia initial introduced Flash concept. During these years, starting from timeline concept, Adobe helps Macromedia enhanced the complexity of flash making process by adding ActionScript programming feature. But they perhaps had forgotten to produce a simple tool with a WYSIWYG feature like CommonPhotoStar did.
Indeed, by looking into the various flash works, you could see it seems there is no difference between the flash works made by CommonPhotoStar and by those of other ordinary flash tools. There are the same components inside a flash swf file - picture and the zooming & panning data.
The difference is that while it's common practice for any other flash tools producing any minor zooming & panning actions by tuning timeline, CommonPhotoStar, on the other hand, will achieve the same goal simply by a mouse movement sifting flash designer's sightline!
With ordinary timeline tuning operation, flash designer need to be very carefully controlling any minor zooming and panning effects in order to mimic practical photographing. This usually requires huge amount of time in estimating and tuning the actions on the timeline. That's why it's nearly impossible to get done a flash with even 1 minute playing duration of such mimicking effects, unless you spend amazing amount of your precious time tuning the timeline, times and again, say, for about one month for any one piece of simple work?
Facing such situation, the designers have no other choices but to omitting details. They like to use as few key frames as possible and preferred a cartoon-like flash works and take it as a hobby filling them into the web pages of the whole world and flashing our eyes with the jumping mechanical flash everyday.
Software giants like Microsoft and Adobe had been ever carrying out researching programs, in hope of finding ways out of the puzzlements, relieving web designer's workload. Microsoft PhotoStory is such an example. Within PhotoStory they set up some templates for designers, to help avoiding, to some extent, tuning timelines.
In fact the concept of Templates here was not really inventive, Flash Template Software had long been flooding the world. Toufee is a typical example(declaring most loudly they had found out the ultimate easy solutions for making a photo move).
Pity however, these are all merely the same thing in actual fact. The basic functions were copied among each other. Never did their flash works can avoid the mechanical feature doomed by pre-programming, and the sightline-elasticity of these tools is all but zero.
CommonPhotoStar, however, thanks to its build-in powerful advanced browser, made a conceptual revolution, for the first time created a global new concept - Sightline Media. It could complete a Sightline Media flash work with 1-minute duration within one minute. As a matter of fact CommonPhotoStar is not a dedicated flash tool, the core component within the software is a dynamic interactive picture browser. With the help of this unique browser, user could conveniently interact with every picture in the photo album, with fast speed, in full screen. Moreover, the interaction process could also be recorded, producing movies.
Due to its powerful handling capability to the dynamic data of picture movements, the browser had already created wonder, not mentioning its additional flash output feature. Its unique mouse-controlled dynamic rendering system will be pending US-patent review. What's more, its extended use to the manual-photographic-mimicking flash, had made it globally a First Sightline Media Tool, becoming a unique technology implementation deserving another US-patent review.
CommonPhotoStar, it's a brilliant photo star, rising up from earth horizon, gradually to the mid-sky, up above the world so high, it is shining and will be beneficial to millions of common people who enjoy watching their digital photos.
