Amazon.com Product Description

FlipAlbum Suite 4.0 is a sweet bundle that combines FlipAlbum 4.0, FlipAlbum Design Libraries, and CD Maker 2.0. You've got everything you need to create entertaining digital photo albums with colorful, custom pages that flip with the click of a mouse. Not to be overlooked is the fact that this album won't crease with use or deteriorate with age.

A range of full-page layout capabilities lets you design pages with multiple photos, images, and annotations. Add a table of contents, index, or even a thumbnail preview. The included Design Libraries delivers more than 3,000 graphics to your FlipAlbum. Choose from unique book spines, colorful backgrounds, and fun clip art. Retouch red eye and add special effects using the built-in image-editing tools. You can even import sound clips from the library or add your own.

CD Maker 2.0 lets you burn your digital album on CDs--a great gift for family and friends. A step-by-step wizard walks you through the process. Or, upload your album to your Web site or e-mail it. FlipAlbum Suite 4.0 software supports standard image, music, and video file formats. And, if you must, you can print these albums, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Frills - Meets the Goal though, October 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: FlipAlbum Suite 4.0 (CD-ROM)

I use this for distributing photos on CD to others without having to spend time/effort explaining how to get at the photos. FlipAlbum is a nice solution for taking your .JPG's of any size/resolution and getting them quickly into a FlipAlbum which works like a simulated photo album where anyone can easily figure out how to click between pages, view thumbnails and hav a slide show.

FlipAlbums work well enough for posting on the web where others use the same simple method for viewing as FlipAlbums distributed on a CD.

4.0 Suite includes the CD utility which works easily enough to create files for a self-launching CD(when the destination PC has autorun enabled for the CD drive). This utility relies on your existing CD burning software and simply creates the files and give simple instructions what files to put on the CD.

The flipalbum itself is aimed at viewing your photos and includes no photo editing/adjustments like brightness/contrast, redeye features. You are expected to have decent files before copying them into FlipAlbum. You can however, change orientation of the pictures. I would hope future versions add some rudimentary picture enhancement features.

Also the look and feel customization in FlipAlbum is rudimentary (i.e. change the text on the cover, change colors/backgrounds of the pages and add .MP3 or .WAV music to different sections of the album. I found all of these features, cute enough but not very robust or extensive. But that's not the purpose of this software.

If you want a simple, fool proof way to get your photos on the web or especially to send a CD to grandma so she can pop it in and then painlessly flip through all of your recent photos, then I recommend FlipAlbum 4.0 or FlipAlbum 4.0 Suite (w/ CD creation).

4.0 out of 5 stars FlipAlbum, October 20, 2001

This review is from: FlipAlbum Suite 4.0 (CD-ROM)

This program is the best one I've found for viewing photos. I've scanned all of my old photo albums and created CDs to give to family members, and it's been really easy cataloging new photos as I take them (digital). The mp3 feature in the new version has been great. Some people have complained that the program doesn't have a photo-editing feature, but I already have Photoshop (and I think most scanners and digital cameras come with some sort of software).

3.0 out of 5 stars Order 4.1 from website, March 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: FlipAlbum Suite 4.0 (CD-ROM)

If you order this suite 4.0 you will have to download a 15 mg upgrade to 4.1 and also download two design CD's. In the end you spend more money when you order this outdated new product.
