Photolightning 1.11

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Ease of use is Photolightning's priority, and the program makes good on the promise. The interface guides you step-by-step through the most common photo-editing and organizing tasks. Start with minor modifications, such as rotation, red-eye removal, zooming, and cropping, then allows you to print the results or share them via e-mail. Photolightning can help you create photo albums, flip albums, and slide shows. The slide shows can be viewed without any special software in your Web browser. The program's somewhat-restrictive, wizard-style approach may not appeal to everyone, but its functionality makes it a worthwhile download for beginners.
