Photo Story 3 allows users to easily create digital stories using imported images. The software supports importing most common image formats up to 300 images per story. The process involves selecting images to import, arranging them in the film strip, adding titles and narration to each slide, optionally adding background music, and saving the completed project. Editing capabilities allow stories to be modified after initial creation.
