Digital Photographer's Software Guide - Bertemes - Net

Description
InAlbum is template-based software that lets you turn your digital photos and videos
into albums for printing or online hosting. You choose a template from over 100 designs,
and then combine, mix, and match background animations, buttons, photo frames,
fonts, and transition effects to create a complete presentation. You can add videos and
apply video effects such as motion blur, emboss, sepia, “mozaik,” and oil painting. There
are also facilities for voice recording (and converting your voice using various effects
such as “ghost,” “girly sound effect,” and so on), plus animated clipart for decoration,
and clickable speech bubbles.
Comments
Designed to be fun to use, InAlbum has plenty of features to keep the most active user
interested, including one that will “morph your friend’s face into apes, aliens, birds, and
a lot more!” If this sounds a little gimmicky, it is, but the examples given are skillfully
done and very amusing. Version 3.0 added CD/DVD burning, playable on TVs, helping
to combat the criticism of reviewers that it did not have enough features. In fact, it
is now very capable, easy-to-use, and has excellent picture quality. It could have been
included in Chapter 27, “Slide Show Creation.”
