Editor's review of Corel Photo Album

• 4.0 stars

• "Corel Photo Album"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Corel Photo Album 6.0

This program helps you import files from a digital camera and organize them on your PC. After launching Paint Shop Photo Album, you can import photos from a camera or select a folder where your images are located. The software offers image-editing features such as rotate, crop, red-eye removal, and captions. When you click a photo, the program automatically opens it in a large edit window, leaving a smaller photo-browser pane open on the left. The program's Info section lets you display and change details such as size, resolution, title, and a description of each photo. You also can sort images by location, subject, and name of photographer. Apart from its image-editing functions, the software also can help you send photos through e-mail, automatically generate a configurable slide show, burn a VideoCD, and even make a collage of several images. The only weak point was installing, which took too long; we also experienced a crash during the process. With all its features and fast processing times, Paint Shop Photo Album makes a good choice for all digital-camera enthusiasts.

  "Does a very good job in many areas - one of the best out there"

  by PicMan on March 1, 2005

  Pros: Automatic or manual picture sorting. Can add picture keywords. A variety of transition effects. Excellent sound: foreground and background! Can do simulated picture frames. Very well done picture printing, using dozens of templates (this implementation sets the standard).

  Cons: No pan/zoom in slide show mode, and mediocre pan/zoom otherwise. No Returns in multi-line EXIF picture description. Cannot update EXIF picture description. Very weak in picture captioning. Picture frames actually change your picture content - a bad thing. (See program PicViewPlus for a better way.)

  "It is only free quality, not worth $45"

  by nicephoto on November 30, 2007

  Pros: The software is fair, but there is no real selling point

  Cons: Picasa might be better; definitely recommend trying DriveHQ Web Album Publisher. (photosharehq.com)

  "PHONY CASE NO. COREL Versus JASC"

  by Professor_NEGATIVE on July 5, 2005

  Pros: Format your PC then see what happens. Support is non existent. Better give your money to a charitable organization. I purchased twice two softwares and was told that the CD's will reach soon which never came. Because of a virus I had to format my disc but there's no tracking system there and neither does JASC have a support system,the reason being that Corel and JASC are having a battle Royale' for supremacy.

  Cons: Dunno the cons as I couldn't use the softwares and was ripped off terribly. There's no way of Contacting JASC. If you contact Corel,they don't forward your emails to JASC. I suggest that you format your drive and then post your reviews. Corel's based in MUMBAI in India[Since the COREL CEO is an Indian]. Shifted from Canada, AND NOW TO HONKONG. One day you'll have to format your disk, and LO BEHOLD PAINT SHOP PRO will disappear and the refund period will have become time barred provided you can contact JASC. The best software which out beats JASC,COREL,ADCSEE , ADODE is the free FOTOFX,just above this corel.

  GOOD LUCK to your EUPHORIA
