PhotoShow

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

PhotoShow, by Simple Star, Inc. is a powerful program for working with and utilizing all of your digital photos. The interface is very straightforward and the program is easy-to-use. Tell it where to look and the program will pull in all your digital pictures, placing them in "albums." That helps you to keep all of your photos separated. I created albums for holidays, nature, my new granddaughter, and more. And, once you get started there are lots of things you can do with your pictures. For example, the program has a screen saver option. And, in just a few minutes I was able to create a very nice screen saver utilizing some of my pictures. Very nicely done!

PhotoShow lets you watch a slide show of your pictures. And at the same time you can stop the show, change the speed at which pictures change and more. It also lets you edit your pictures, so you can make them the best they can be! Rotate them, crop them and remove red eye. You can also add text to give more meaning to your albums. On top of all this, the program makes it very easy to share your photos with family and friends. You can e-mail a link, utilize the ShutterFly service for ordering prints or burn your pictures to CD right from within the program. A very cool feature is the ability to create a Web album that you can upload to your own Web site. Just select the pictures you want, select the option and the program generates the HTML code all by itself. It even provides you with instructions on what to do when the program is done. Excellent!

PhotoShow is a beautifully done program for working with and sharing your photos. It lets you organize them, create albums, slide shows - including slide shows with music, screen savers, and more. It even helps you to get your photos on popular gifts -- t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, and playing cards. Select the photo you want, the item you want, and it shows you a 3 dimensional image of the gift! How cool is that? VERY! And then, if that weren't enough, you can order the gifts from within the program. I've looked at a good number of programs that deal with photos, and this is one of the overall best I've seen. So, if you're looking for a program that makes it easy to do things with your pictures, this is it! Give it a try, I recommend it highly.
