 Disappointing and Frustrating February 14, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have been very frustrated with this software. I haven't used it for much else than to create slide shows of my baby for the relatives, but this software has been a dismal failure in that one basic feature.
For one thing, when you put together a slide show set to music, the test run on the computer may sync perfectly, but when you burn it to disc and play it on your DVD player, the pictures run out before the song does because the slide show runs too fast. So basically, testing the slide show on your computer before burning tells you nothing. I've had to repeatedly go back to my computer, try to guess how many pictures to add to the end of a slide show so the song won't cut short (or increase the delay between pictures) and burn it again and again in order to get it right. It's a crap shoot. What a waste of time, discs, and extra work!
I've also discovered that whatever changes you make to rearrange the order of pictures, you have to do it all over again when you import a folder to create a slide show, because the changes aren't transferred between settings. The only trick I found to bypass this feature is to rename the folder and import it to "Create DVD" as if it were a new folder.
It organizes your photos fine and the photo enhancement tools are basic. Overall, it's alot of unnecessary hassle to do such a simple task.
Beware of their REBATES June 10, 2004

I haven't tried the product yet but I'm disapointed in their advertised rebates. They are quick to deny rebates and it took several calls for me to finally talk to the rebate person. It's a flat denial. I believe the person that talked about the Tech support because if they don't answer rebate issue it's probable true that they don't reply to Tech support questions. The email resolutions is probable not going to work, I had to call customer Svc at 800-622-2793. Just be aware of their REBATES.

Product support for this software is non-existent. Purchased Photo Album 4 specifically to record slide shows with audio onto CD's. It has never worked. I have e-mailed JASC technical support numerous times over the last several weeks without a reply. Very frustrating.
 I love it March 26, 2004

I love this product. It does exactly what I wanted it to do. I have easily organized all of my pictures. It took a little bit of time to get all of my pictures organized with the keywords, and description fields but now adding new pictures is a breeze. I love the easy email feature and since I already do all of my editing in Paint Shop Pro, it has become a very nice additional feature. I definately recommend this product
 I can now organize and retrieve my photos. February 24, 2004

Photo Album 4 seems to be a good value. It lets me see my individual images and how they relate to the rest of my collection. I can finally see the forest and the trees of my image collection. Moving images around is a snap. Organizing them with keywords is really cool. And the Titles and Descriptions that move around with the pictures make website building all the easier. Digital image software focusing on editing images as its primary thing just doesn't have the retrieval and organizational features Photo Album has. Although it can be argued Photo Album is short on editing features, I didn't buy it as an editor. I bought it to organize my digital images and quickly create websites from this organized repositiory. Photo Album seems to be about letting you, your family, and friends more easily enjoy your digital image collection. I really have had more fun with my images since I downloaded and installed it; especially old images I have rediscovered on my harddrive. I will buy this at the end of my evaluation.
