Virtual Album
Vendor: Radar Software
Purpose: Organize, protect, and share your photographs
Description
Virtual Album lets you create albums from images direct from a digital camera or
scanned into your computer. It has an option for presenting full-screen slide shows complete
with descriptions, while making it easy to add the descriptions with simple mouse
clicks. One unusual feature is “Point a Person,” which allows you to list people’s names
in your photos and point each person out.
Easy to use, Virtual Album lets you create an unlimited number of sub-albums, attach
background music, and perform image transformation using photo-optic tools. Output
can be to the Web or you can burn your exported albums to CD. It also gives you the
option of printing 1, 4, or 24 photos per page.
Comments
From a design point of view, Virtual Album looks a little homespun, although some
users actually like their software to have a friendly and non-threatening appearance. For
example, the “Point a Person” feature is a good idea, but the lists of names take up almost
as much room as the images. The vendor aims the product at the home user and also
sells useful hardware to connect a PC to a TV so that you can see your albums in a family
viewing area.
