Guide Review - Adobe Photoshop Album
Adobe Photoshop Album adeptly sorts the digital photos scattered around your computer's hard drive and catalogs them for easy browsing and searching. The image editing tools are adequate for most needs, with a big thumbs up for the better than average red-eye reduction. Photo projects are a snap with wizards which allow users to create cards, calendars, albums, and even 3D Web galleries with little effort. Organization is where Photoshop Album really shines, however, with powerful search tools and nifty timeline and calendar views making it easy to quickly locate pictures, while custom keyword tags can be added to organize photos by family, surname, place, event, etc. Intuitive archive and backup tools round out this powerful photo package.
