AlbumMe

AlbumMe is a pretty straightforward name for an application that deals with slideshow creation. In these cases, not only are we dealing with an app that puts all its cards on the table, but we're also working with a repository of transition effects and captions that is above satisfactory in amount and quality. Whether you're working on a project or are simply trying to put together some family photos from your last trip, this app can handle your creativity without any trouble.

The menu of the application, although somehow reminiscent of the XP days, is not difficult to navigate through. All the features are accurately labeled and choices or options are clear from the start. The first thing you'll probably do, once the app launches, is creating a new album. You'll have to choose wisely between all the preset categories. Each features templates pertaining to that exact category, so make sure whatever project you're dealing with integrates into a Personal, Business, Children, Family, or Love perspective.

If you thought that this app is an image-centered tool only, you'll be happy to find out that videos are supported too. These can also be improved with player templates in order to make them easier to integrate into your presentation. Once you pass through the first two steps, adding content and setting a template to work with, it's only then that you'll need your creative cap on. The decoration pan is an area where you can add all sorts of effects to your presentation. Do you feel that butterflies could improve the overall look of the presentation? Then, add a butterfly effect, and see if it comes out as you envisioned it.

Effects aren't tied to the visual side of things only. In fact, one can add sounds to the presentation as well. This means that if you feel that adding too much visual glitter is not helpful, maybe some audio effects will fit better with the project you've got on your mind. Once your masterpiece is complete, you have one more choice to make. Will you export your presentation as an SWF, HTML, Screen saver, Video, or EXE file? That's all up to you and depends on the project you have at hand. AlbumMe will, without a doubt, offer you an above satisfactory array of choices, helping you create and improve any number of presentations.
