Virtual Album
Virtual Album enables you to create albums from images either 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 lets you list people's names in your photos and identify each person.
Easy to use, Virtual Album has many additional features, including an unlimited number of sub-albums, facilities to add background music, and 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 out 1, 4 or 24 photos per page.
Comment
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 sells useful hardware to connect a PC to a TV so that you can see your albums in a family viewing area.
