The Power Slide Pro Image Slide Show and Gallery System allows you to have clean, simple and smooth transitional image galleries and slideshows in a optimised lightweight javascript module area. Multiple galleries are show in a tabular list (with thumbnails and description), which when opened will show a transitional slide show of the gallery images.
This transitional slideshow has many features - including an image thumbnail selector carousel, image titles and descriptions (floating in a transparent DIV above the image), image navigation, a built in light box- below is summary of all major features:
Built in Lightbox - for opening and viewing images outside of slideshow
Real Time Image Pre-loader - loads images as you view them, saving bandwidth and load times
Automatic or User Controlled Slides - users control slide shows themselves or slide show runs automatically
Enable or Disable Mootools Javascript - to avoid conflicts with other code in your site
CSS Color Variables - title, desciption and link colors can be set in the module
Advanced Thumbnails - thumbnails can be generated manually or automatically, and also managed
Random Image Selection - images can be displayed in random, or sorted in admin component
3 Display Management Methods - admin component, folder or XML
Image Information Detail - title, description and link placed on top of each image
Display Specific Slide Shows - duplicate the module and show different slideshows (on seperate pages)
Comprehensive backend Admin Component - create and manage galleries, upload and tag images
Display Multiple Galleries - in a single module, with built in front end gallery selector
Image and Description - Links images and descriptions directly linkable to internal or external content

This is one of the nicest, easy to configure and use gallery applications out there. Installation as well as configuration went smooth, the back end is intuitive and well built, and most important, PSP looks very nice on the front end. Lumo and Skashi provide excellent support and communication which made the 25$ well worth, and I'm already waiting for the release of next version (2.x).
Things I really love in PSP:
-The gallery index looks and functions excellent.
-Very customizable: no coding needed.
-Titles and descriptions embedded very nice.
-The Themejoomla.com crew being attentive and helpful.
Things I'm really waiting for in the coming v2.0:
-Multiple selection of photos (back end side)

Version 2.0 is well on the way, we are having a "new year" meeting about the release plans this Friday.
Thanks for all the positives words and the review:)

I'd highly recommend this module. Number 1 - very little fiddling involved to get it to work. Number 2 - excellent technical support. I had a few problems (server related) and Lumo was good enough to fix them direct on my server. Can't ask for better tech support than that. Forum posts are answered quickly and efficiently. Module is very professional looking.

Thanks, we pride ourselves on our support :)

I'm a relative newbie to Joomla! and I've had trouble with some other people's extensions. Yours is great. I was able to read the instructions and got it up and running in a short amount of time. Now I'm just having a little fun messing with the settings to get it to look the way I want it to.
Great Job!
Great Job!

Thanks for the feedback! We are actually going to be updating the instructions soon with the new release of Power Slide 2.0 - which will co-incide with the release of our new site...
As to getting it the way you want to look, enjoy! and let me know if you need any help :)

Thank you for making a great gallery extension! I am a new joomla user and I had to read carefully for install and configuration, but got it up and running perfect the first time! Beautiful. I have it published in an article - thanks for this option - worth paying for!
The only thing I would wish for (and maybe I missed something) is to make the gallery larger and have more room to write about the pictures.

Thanks for the review :) As to your requests, both can currently be done in Power Slide, drop us a mail and I will explain to you how and help you out!
The is the slide show solution I have been looking for since I started with Joomla 2 years ago. Very easy to install and use.
Owner's reply
Thanks! We are working on a huge pile of new features - based on the great response and feature requests we have received...

One can't say enough about the guys who developed this. They offer super service and they have a super component and module. It fits perfectly into my site and will give me a lot of flexibility that I did not have before. It's pure Joomla to install and configure, but a few minor annoyances inside my site were causing problems. They patiently went in and sorted it all out. I can't be happier. -- Where's the 'thumb's up' sign?
Owner's reply
thanks for the positive thoughts! Glad we could get you all sorted out :)

I must say I love this extension. It performs as advertised. I've been looking for a good module that would let me put nice looking text and links over images in a slidshow on my home page for a while, and I've tried a few. This one worked perfectly out of the box. There were no position problems (i've had those with others), and the admin side of things is very well done.
I have two requests that would make this even better for me:
1) When i include a link, make clicking the image and headline also take you there.
2) Have a way to expire slides (Only show until...)
Add those and it would be perfect for me!
