CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program helps beginners create an attractive Web-based photo gallery in both HTML and Flash formats. It only took us several minutes to design a photo album. The interface is stylish and straightforward, but it has one drawback: Its gray font on the gray background makes it a chore to read. The HTML and Flash templates are quite flexible, and you can even design your own if you know HTML and XML. You also can find about 50 more templates on the developer's site. FirmTools Album Creator Pro allows you to easily apply other themes to existing albums and offers basic editing capabilities. For example, you can adjust the color, resize images, crop shots, and remove red-eye. FirmTools Album Creator Pro will be of use for folks who want to create a simple Web gallery without learning HTML.

Publisher's description

From FirmTools :

Album Creator lets you create online albums from your digital photos using unique and highly professional Flash and HTML theme templates. You can customize the existing templates, create your own, or download additional ones. The program also includes editing tools for enhancing your photos, removing red-eye, adjusting colors, and applying watermarks. It supports EXIF and IPTC data, so you can add EXIF/IPTC information as an image comment or as an image title. Album Creator Pro includes a simple FTP client that lets you upload the finished album to your Web site. You can choose among several Flash themes and a variety of HTML templates, each unique and sophisticated. Additional features include lossless rotation and direct importing of photos from your digital camera. Version 3.5 fixes some bugs.

    "It is the software version of a TV dinner!"

    by 2THACHE on April 26, 2007

    Pros: Of course, Album Creator by Firm Tools is easy, user friendly, and a most productive software for creating digital photo album and slide shows. But it also it gives the registered novice user (like me) the opportunity to use over 125 flash and html ready-made professional templates, where one does not even need to know a thing about flash or html programming. It is the software version of a TV dinner! But the most extraordinary feature I liked and was very impressed with is the superb, timely, friendly, and humble customer-oriented tech support I received. Surprisingly, their attitude was, I am just doing my job to help the Album Creator users. Wow! You do not see this level of service too often! The tech support itself is worth a lot more than the cost of the software, which was not much at all to begin with. And their attitude is priceless. Keep it up!

    Cons: No cons.

    "Poor image quality, no resize options, user windows not resizable"

    by dgrd1701 on April 5, 2008

    Pros: Lots of templates, have a few good basic features.

    Cons: Most of the features are not implemented well. The worst part about the program is that the resized images it creates have TERRIBLE qualtiy -- they are grainy, over-sharpened, pixelated, and just look horrible. There is no control over the image resizing - it appears to be set by the template design. There are lots of templates, but most of them have such strong themes that they only are usable to very specific albums, such as underwater, Christmas, etc. The general purpose themese aren't that well done. Another annoying feature is that all of the program windows are fixed size. This is really annoying when you are trying to select your images for the album and the window you select from is a little, tiny window that won't hold more than a few thumbnails while selecting. It took me a total of about 20 minutes experimenting with this program to see that it isn't going to meet my needs.

    "Infected with Trojan Downloader Zlob"

    by ketku on October 23, 2006

    Pros: There is no pros in this product.

    Cons: Virus detection software report pretty much tells it all:

    "Zlob is a Trojan. Zlob attempts to hiddenly download and run other files from remote web sites and shows fake error messages. Zlob copies itself to the Windows folder and changes startup and search pages of Internet Explorer."
