If you are looking for a really new and unique way to create a nice slideshow for your website, then you should take a look at Floom. On the source site you will find two way to set Floom up: One is the object way, where you specify the image url and the caption using the key-value notation. The second one is by simply passing a element collection, where the passed element has to be the actual image collection. Sounds interesting? It is! So have a look:

Pamoorama is a simple and lightweight script image scrolled box. This is a special image tool to style up your panoramic image. You will need MooTools module to build it. A ready use module as you don’t have to work on any CSS customization, barely any HTML.

How it works?
Moving the mouse over a panoramic image will scroll it in certain direction. You’ll see a frame (a part) of image that belong to a larger full size image.
Pamoorama will also display a small thumbnail panel of your panoramic image so you can easily navigate the frame by dragging it.

Features:
* Automatic scroll animation option (v 0.3)
* Custom caption, width, colors
* Dragging thumbnail frame only option
* Transition effects when you click on the small thumb (v 0.2)

It would be better if you visit the demo page to learn more about Pamoorama ;) so you can create your first panoramic image previewer using Pamoorama.

Another great work of style scripting that came from CVI-lab. Introducing slided.js 1.3, an unobtrusive set of Javascript to add slide frames and shadow to images on your webpages.

To get an aspect ratio of 1:1 the larger picture dimension than the minimum picture dimension (80x80px) will define the width and height. Therefor the needed space of the canvas element will grow if the aspect ratio of the picture doesn’t fit 1:1. Whenever you have uneven aspect ratio picture dimension, the frame border will persistent in 1:1 aspect ratio so it should produce interesting slide frame effect ;)

The ImageFlow 0.9 is originally developed by Finn Rudolph. A stylish animated horizontal JavaScript carousel as the images flow perspectively and controlled by a slider. After some tweaks work, ImageFlow has been slightly hacked by Ceasar Feijen. This tweaking makes ImageFlow compatible to the Highslide JS effect.
You can now single click the centered image or double click any image in the ImageFlow and it will highslide with a preloader. Highslided image can be rearranged back inside the ImageFlow content with double click. It also possible for you to drag ‘n drop the highslided image anywhere on the website.
Sounds wonderful? Take a tour to give a try on this cool ImageFlow – Highslide JS now!
