PhotoELF lets you browse and manage images as well as make slide shows and albums.
Description
Having the tagline “The Digital Camera Companion,” PhotoELF is a versatile tool that
works as an image organizer, editor, and print utility. Its appeal is primarily to home
users who want to improve family photographs and create albums, slide shows, and
cards for Christmas and birthdays. However, it also has extensive batch facilities for such
tasks as renaming, resizing, rotation, and compression—which tends to place it in a
slightly different category. For example, it would appeal to anyone who has responsibility
for editing and distributing community sports images.
As a print utility, PhotoELF offers many features, such as printing up to 64 photos on
the same page, printing to specific sizes such as 8"×10", 5"×7", 4"×6", and 3"× 4",
borderless printing, duplicates, template creation, add-text, add-captions, and large-size
poster printing. It also allows you to create browser-based photo albums to which you
can add music in the form of MP3 and WAV files. It has sequential and random slide
show options, plus a feature that allows you to publish albums direct to the Web or burn
them to CD-ROM.
PhotoELF works with all printers, including Olympus P400, Hewlett Packard, Epson,
Canon, Lexmark, Compaq, and Xerox.
