Product Description

Corel Photo Album 6 Starter Edition is a fun and easy-to-use solution for organizing and enhancing your photos. With this smart and simple software that automatically takes care of common photo tasks--like downloading and organizing--you can spend your time having fun with your photos.

The Photo Album interface lets you browse through all your photos by folder, date, and more. View larger.

Retrieve and View All Images
As soon as you plug in your camera or insert a memory card into your card reader, the Corel Photo Downloader gets to work downloading and rotating your photos, then asks you what you'd like to do next. For photos already on your computer, the Photo Finder searches your entire hard drive for photos and automatically organizes them by the date they were taken. This feature saves time by continuously keeping photo collection up-to-date.

Retrieve and View All Images
Photo Album's easy zoom, rotate, and cropping tools let you improve the composition of a photo with just a few easy clicks. If you weren't able to zoom in far enough when you took a photo, you can use Photo Album to crop out the extra background, drawing more attention to your subject.

One click of the Quick Fix tool automatically corrects color, contrast, and brightness.

Quick Fix and Remove Red Eye
With just one click you can auto-correct the color, contrast, and brightness of your photos. Red eyes, caused by the camera's flash, can also be corrected with a single click. The Quick Fix and Remove Red Eye tools can take some of your seemingly throw-away shots and turn them into real keepers.

Show and Print Your Photos
The new Quick Show feature lets you instantly create a slide show using all the photos in a folder. And Photo Album makes printing easy by letting you print your photos in the most common photo sizes.

Bonus: When you purchase the Photo Album 6 Starter Edition, you also get a 60-day preview of Corel Photo Album 6 Deluxe Edition.

The Deluxe Edition of Photo Album 6 includes all the features found in the Starter Edition, plus:

Advanced Editing
The Adjust tools provide simple sliders to give you complete control over a variety of settings for correcting photos. With the Add Flash tool, you can add brightness to just the shadowy areas of an image. The Advanced Red-Eye tool lets you correct tricky red-eye problems with more precision and control. The Panorama command lets you stitch together several photos, which is particularly useful for capturing large landscapes.

This photo has been enhanced with the Deluxe Edition's sepia feature, a border, and a frame.

Special Effects
You can transform a color photo into black and white with just one click. Or, convert it to sepia tones to give the photo a vintage look. The "Thinify" tool gives the subjects in your photos a thinner appearance with just a few clicks; dieting or exercise are not necessary.

E-mail and Web Sharing
Since some digital cameras take photos with very large file sizes, Photo Album lets you adjust settings to optimize the photos for quick recipient downloading. The Quick E-mail feature automatically attaches the selected image to a new message in your e-mail program; all you have to do is add the recipient address, fill in the subject line, and click Send.

Web Galleries let you create your own customized Web page using Corel Photo Album, or quickly upload to your favorite photo-sharing Web site.

Musical Slide Shows
When creating a Quick Show slide show, the Deluxe Edition also lets you add music, and then you can share these slide shows with friends and family using e-mail or by burning the show to a Video CD, which can be viewed on a TV using a DVD player. Musical slide shows are a fun and easy way to share photos from a recent vacation, family event, or party.

Photo projects and Collages
Corel Photo Album 6 Deluxe Edition provides creative templates to inspire you to do more with your photos. With drag-and-drop simplicity, you can create award certificates, album pages, greeting cards, calendars, CD labels, e-cards, magazine covers, and more. You can even move, rotate, and zoom in and out of photos within a template to get the exact look that you want.

The new Collage project templates let you display a collection of photos in stylish and sophisticated collages. You just select a collage layout template and drag and drop photos from your folders into the collage.

New! Favorite Photos
Corel Photo Album 6 lets you designate your favorite photos with a gold star so that personal favorites can be quickly and easily identified for use in special projects, for e-mailing, or for printing.

New! Titles and Descriptions
You can add titles and descriptions so that photos stand out. Corel Photo Album now saves your captions to the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata so that the captions can be viewed and searched from within any program that supports IPTC.

Batch Rename
With the Deluxe Edition of Corel Photo Album 6, you can quickly change those cryptic, numeric filenames that digital cameras assign to photos. Using the Batch Rename feature, you can easily change the name of an individual image, several selected images, or an entire folder of images.

The PhotoSafe Backup System makes it easy to back up all your photos onto CDs or DVDs.

PhotoSafe Backup System
The PhotoSafe Backup System helps you backup all your photos onto CD or DVD. Archiving prevents the loss of valuable photos from hardware memory failure, or other computer mishaps such as viruses. And PhotoSafe makes it simple by remembering which photos have already been backed-up, and which photos are new.

PhotoRecovery
PhotoRecovery is a straightforward application that recovers images, movies, and sound files from all types of digital media. Whether it's Memory Sticks, SmartMedia, CompactFlash, MicroDrives, Secure Digital Cards, Multimedia Chips, or floppy disks and most other forms of digital film, you simply insert your digital film into the reader, and run PhotoRecovery. Any pictures found on the media are instantly saved to your computer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Corel -- poor software for slideshows, November 14, 2006

By	N. Cancellare (Alamogordo, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This software is fine for altering digital pictures if you do not have any other programs, but if you want to make exciting slideshows, this software is very basic and not user-friendly. I had technical problems from the start. You are better off using MS Powerpoint than this software.

3.0 out of 5 stars Many of the features in this description are NOT included in this version, November 1, 2006

By	Lady Gamer (Murphy, NC) - See all my reviews

I have this "standard edition" of Corel Photo Album 6 and it does NOT include the Web Gallery, ANY batch processing, or the option to automatically resize your pictures when emailing them.
There are probably many other features that are missing.
It's good software if you don't mind the missing components.
This Amazon description is for the DELUXE version.
