Jasc Photo Album 4

The first thing you see when you open Photo Album 4 for the first time is a tour interface. I recommend going through this as there is more to Photo Album 4 than the name implies!

Photo Album 4 is not just a photo album. Get images from your digital camera, edit them, organize them, share them and more with Photo Album 4. This is one terrific piece of software!

Once you're done with the tour the main interface comes into view. You can browse you hard drive folders for images and they will appear as thumbnails in Photo Album 4.

Features

• Burn Video CDs

• Archive photos on CDs

• Optimize photos for e-mail

• Control enhancements

• Add Flash and fix backlight

• Jazz up your images

• Create classic images

• Thinify!

• Find photos quicker

• Work the way you want
  Personalize your workspace with adjustable thumbnail sizes and background colors.

When you come across an image that needs a little touch up just open the Adjust Wizard. It takes you step by step through editing the image to get it just the way you'd like it.

It's as simple as paging through a catalog.

At each page just make a choice and move on to the next page.

You get to preview the status of your image as you work through.

If you don't like a change you've made you can use the back button to go back as far as you need to to make adjustments.

Always wanted to add text to your images but didn't really want to get an image editing application and learn it. Photo Album 4 allows you to place text on your images quickly and easily allowing you to make them more personal.

If all that is not enough you can even add border effects to frame those images once you have them edited the way you want.

There is even a set of special effects for you to use.

Below are screenshots of the menus just in case I forgot to mention something that is of interest.

You can search for photos too. This software is just too cool!
