Fortop Album Creator for Windows

Create photo slideshows using Flash technology with Fortop Album Creator. Choose a template, select your photos, and Fortop Album Creator will create a slideshow. You can upload MP3 files for background music, too.

The interface is attractive, with a good variety of templates to choose from. A Help file is there when more assistance is needed. Creating a slideshow is easy, but saving the file is tricky. It's important to select "create loading HTML file" when saving your slideshow. Choosing that option lets you view your slideshow in your computer's browser. Fortop Album Creator's native file is an SWF, a Flash file, and you'll need Flash software to view it. Fortop Album Creator was designed for sharing photos over the Internet, but some photo-sharing sites don't support Flash files. You can also post Fortop Album Creator's slideshows on your own Web site. We created a blank HTML page with Dreamweaver and inserted the SWF file. The code displayed in Dreamweaver's Code View, and the new slideshow worked in our Web browser.

This 30-day trial version of the program is limited to 30 photos per album. A watermark with Fortop Album Creator's logo appears on all photos created with the trial version. Fortop Album Creator installs with no problems, but it leaves a 924KB folder behind when you uninstall it. This is a serviceable program, but users without the appropriate software or graphics knowledge may find it a bit challenging to use.
