5.0 out of 5 stars Does just what I need, June 19, 2003

This review is from: Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 (CD-ROM)

Edit: I was pleased with it while I used it. But since posting the review below, I've stopped using it in favor of the (now free) program Picasa, available through Google.

``````````````````````````````````

I tried a bunch of other programs and free trials, and this one packed the most stable and useful features into the cleanest, most intuitive, and most convenient package.

I especially like the design of the cropping tool, the ease of assigning and customizing the categories while organizing, and the clean simplicity of the interface. I'm perfectly capable of using complicated programs, and figuring out how to use programs that aren't very user-friendly. But when you're trying to organize a ton of digital photos, why make it more work than you have to?

Paint Shop Photo Album 4 does what it does very well, and does all of the things I would ask a photo album program to do.

It makes it easy to print, share, and organize my photos. For quick photo touchups, resizing, rotating, adding captions, and the other kinds of edits that an average home user would want to make to their photos, the editor included in this program is quite suitable, and does a very nice job.

It also has a nicer format for creating web pages to share photos online than most of the other similar programs I tried.

I've been using the 30 day free trial, (which is a full version rather than a chopped down sample) and my time is almost up, so I am definitely going to by this program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the thing, April 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 (CD-ROM)

PS Photo Album 4 is a quick and easy way to take control of your digital pictures. Lots of great features, my favorites:

1) Selecting a bunch of pictures and telling the software to email them. It automatically resizes them down to a (configurable) small, manageable size and places them in an email as attachments. A necessity when you have multi-megalpixel image files.

2) Fast and easy red eye correction.

3) Very neat, interactive photo-touchup wizard for quick photo-enhancements.

4) If I need finer control over the images, it is fairly well integrated with Paint Shop Pro (if you happen to own it as well).

5) Being able to label pictures and then search through all your pictures by keywords.

6) The ability to archive photo albums onto CD-R and still have the software keep track of them.

Overall a very effective and convenient program. You can get a 30 day trial from the Jasc website before making the plunge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what I want to do fine, January 2, 2004

Photo nut "cyber_surfer" (Forest Hill, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album 4 (CD-ROM)

I use Jasc Paint Shop Album 4 to store my photos in albums, print photographs and create HTML files to display photos on my hosted space.

I like its red eye repair and crop tool. If quick fix will fix a photo that has minor problems thats great. But most photos are enhanced in adobe photoshop elements 2 ( the brush selection tool is fantastic). Together they do a great job.

The print capabilities are very flexible.
Pick a number of pictures to a page
or a given size picture on a page
or a combination print (various)
or lots of special sizes and paper I don't actually use

After the picture(s) is formatted you can select any one and zoom it in or out, grab it and move it around in the space(great feature).

40 +/- html formats for creating web galleries for your pictures. Many you can change background color, font, etc.
Elements and several other programs I have also create Web Galeries quite easily but I seem to come back to the ones in this program most of the time.

Great tool.
