• Can't burn DVD's

  xyz7270June 8, 2011

  Pros

  Not sure since it doesn't work as advertised

  Cons

  Very non-intuitive interface Can't burn DVDs despite what it says in the "Publisher's Description"

  Summary

  The workflow and interface are very cumbersome. I'm surprised the ratings for this program are so high. I suppose this program might be fine for maintaining your image library, but the only thing I want to do is burn a simple slideshow onto a DVD, and the amount of overhead required just to get to that point is too much. Worst of all, although it says "burn CD/DVD" in the Publisher's Description, as far as I can tell it only does CDs. False advertising, and a total waste of my time. Thanks for nothing, Photozig.

• Excellent software, does the job

  AnandajotiDecember 18, 2010

  Pros

  I was looking for an easy way to share photographs along with music in a slideshow on CD - it took about 15 mins (without looking at the Help files) to get it sorted out and written.

  Cons

  Only con is it copies the photos so you land up with duplicates; and when deleting an album it gives the impression it will delete the originals rather than the copies (which is what really goes).

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 18, 2010<p/>Correction: sorry I see now it doesn't make copies - I was fooled because even if you choose to delete the originals it doesn't do it - but best not to choose to delete even so, as they may update and correct that!

• Some very basic features are missing

  lynxspyderDecember 19, 2009

  Pros

  Slick interface, designed for beginning users

  Cons

  No output to DVD option, cannot access photos on network drives

  Summary

  It's a nice little--and I do mean LITTLE--program if all you want to do is create a basic slideshow from photos on your computer and plop them on a CD. But it lacks some very basic and necessary features, the omission of which is head-slappingly stupid. You cannot, for example, browse network drives for photos. I am dumbfounded that something this common sense is left. You can also not create a DVD slideshow, another unacceptable ommission.

• Good download - some limitations, but otherwise great

  kenrheaOctober 8, 2008

  Pros

  Does a lot - combines music with slideshows. Interface is fairly easy to use.

  Cons

  When making an album - it jumbles the order of the photos - you have to go an edit them

  Summary

  Its a pain having to re-order hundreds of photos you have selected for an album - I even renamed them in numerical order and it still mixed them up into no apparent order. Regardless, its free and it works and it does a pretty good job. I'll be using and recommending it in the future....
