Although this is (currently) a very basic program, it produces a clean, effective result<br />

that is likely to appeal to photo enthusiasts. After all, a gallery needs only to have sensibly<br />

arranged thumbnails, a large central display area, and good navigation. Using<br />

Quixhibit, you can create a scrolling navigation bar along the top of the frame and see<br />

the images displayed below—just like the layout on DPReview.com. Check it out; it<br />

may be all you need.<br />

Chapter 26 ■ Photo Album Creation 301<br />

Vendor: Avanquest <strong>Software</strong><br />

Purpose: Organizes pictures on your PC; comes with Web space for uploading<br />

Description<br />

This is a two-in-one solution: PC software that lets you create albums on your PC, but<br />

with the purchase comes some Web space to which the software can upload the albums.<br />

What is more, friends and family can view your online photos as well as add their own.<br />

Among SendPhotos’ many features are over 200 theme templates, a wide choice of<br />

frames, colors, and caption styles, and various design tools with drag-and-drop placement<br />

of images. One key feature is the facility to create online photo stories, with text<br />

and images, along the lines of “Hi, Grandpa! Look what I’ve been doing...”<br />

SendPhotos can synchronize your PC albums with those online, while also scheduling<br />

automatic uploads so that photos are always backed up online and on the PC. Printing<br />

options include six formats, enabling you to print one large picture or several small ones<br />

on each page.<br />

Comments<br />

The combination of desktop software and online service is a winner for many users.<br />

SendPhotos does it very well and has earned the plaudits of reviewers and users alike.<br />

Avanquest is a large, international software company that has big plans for this product,<br />

including integration with a new mobile phone application called SendPhotos
