REQ: mac-style 'zoom-in' screensaver

[mnimyi]

Last semester, one of my professors hooked up his Mac notebook to the
class projector to show some notes. When his screensaver kicked in, I
noticed that it was your typical photo slideshow, but with some extra
Apple-style slickness.

For one thing, the pictures transitioned very smoothly, crossfading into
each other. At no point was there a black border or black screen during
transition. Even cooler, for each picture, there was a subtle zoom
effect applied, in which the picture (already full-screen) slowly grew
larger as the screensaver zoomed in toward the center. The effect was a
bit startling at first, as though instead of the picture being enlarged,
the point of view was actually moving forward into a 3-Dimensional
world. Very cool, very classy, very Apple.

Anyone know of a free screensaver that can do this in Windows? Currently
the 'best' freeware slideshow I'm able to find is JPEGSaver, from
http://www.goat1000.com/. The one listed on pricelessware is now
shareware, and the link to the last known freeware version is broken.

thanks,

Some months ago I was searching for the same. And finally I found the
Nostalgic screensaver:

MotionPicture looks very similar to the the Nostalgic screensaver, but
is a bit more customizable.

The setup dialog for displays is practically the same for the two
programs, so it looks like MotionPicture is based on Nostalgic.
