Back then it was simple – you take the picture, you print it and
put it in your family album. But now you have a digital camera.
So do your cousins, uncles, aunts and granpa Joe. What are you
going to do with thousands of digital photos to pass them onto
the future generations? Read our advice.

What you need is a digital photo album. Here are some good ones
so you know what to start with.

InAlbum

InAlbum is a fun and easy to use software to turn your digital
photos into a stunning photo slideshow. Start with ready to use
templates or custom templates which let you mix & match
background animations, buttons, photo frames and transition
effects. Decorate with animated clipart, speech bubbles, sounds,
MP3 music and your own voices. InAlbum gives you more output
options than any other slideshow softwares. Create video CDs
that are playable on TVs using standard VCD / DVD player. Build
screensavers for yourself or others. Make self-contained
executable slideshows. Write autorun CDs that automatically play
when inserted into a PC. Print photos and make wallpaper. Share
via email and host your shows online for free.

Pics Print

Pics Print is a Windows application that makes it simple to
format and print high-quality photos, greeting cards, contact
sheets, and family albums. Using wizards and templates, you can
quickly grab images from digital cameras, scanners or disk, make
color corrections and add style to them, resize and annotate
them, and print them using your printer’s highest quality
settings. Pics Print’s folder browser lets you find images fast.
With an intuitive Explorer-like folder tree and high-quality
thumbnails of all of the images in that folder, identifying the
right picture is quick and easy. You can retrieve photos
directly from any digital camera, and create a contact sheet
with a single click. Using standard drag-and-drop techniques,
you can move the thumbnail images to the final document, resize
them, add text, and print them for friends and family. The
program includes WYSIWYG printing. The print preview screen lets
you move, resize, and rotate images, so you’ll never waste time
or ink on pages that aren’t exactly what you expect. Pics Print
has a built-in photo editor that lets you crop, resize, rotate,
and color-correct images. Users who enjoy adding artistic
effects to their photos can blur, emboss, and sharpen the
images, add borders, and produce an unlimited variety of
creative touches. There is even a red-eye remover that takes out
the red circles that the camera’s flash often adds to portraits.
