Softpedia Editor's Review for JAlbum
|
Grants you full control of the look of the generated digital photo album, not just color theme and basic layout.
Written by Elena Opris on February 3rd, 2012
JAlbum is a program which allows you to seamlessly create and fully customize albums with pictures.
In the user-friendly interface you can import images of various formats (e.g. BMP, PNG, TIF, JPG), by using the file browser or the "drag and drop" method, and by specifying the album name, description and location.
So, you can edit images by using tools for crop, red eye reduction, levels, gamma, straighten, grayscale, sepia, sharpen, blue, flip, rotate, invert, pixelate and text.
But you can also edit image data (location, shop options, video size), variables, flag, rating, as well as add captions, change the skin and style of the album, and use the "Undo" and "Redo" buttons.
In addition, you can import a published album or settings from a previous project, order images and folders, embed an album in your website or blog, view album information, create a slideshow and share albums.
Furthermore, you can upload albums to an online account (where you have 2GB of free storage available for 30 days), order the Photobook, use external tools (e.g. extract comments, batch-rename files, create project backup), edit skins or create a new one, and more.
The program uses a high amount of system resources (which is to be expected) and can guide you to a comprehensive online help file that consists of tutorials, a FAQ page and manuals. We haven't encountered any problems during our tests and strongly recommend JAlbum to all users.
