Summary: Best for sorting your movies
Comment: This is a very good program and the best when it comes to cataloging your photos. The tag system makes it very easy to find photos once you've taken the time to tag them. For instance, if you tag the photos, you can then find pictures of baby 1-2 months old, or the baby and grandma, etc. The "Fix" tools are also good basic tools that are a must to enhance digital photos. If you want a more robust photo editor buy Photoshop Elements, but for the basic color enhancements, etc. this works great.

Summary: Changed the Way I Store Digital Photos
Comment: I did not want this product. My husband bought it and thought it would be a good way to store the increasing number of digital photos on our computer. I liked my file folder system I already had. But once he taught me how to use it, I love it!! All the photos are right there to view. You can search by who is in the photo, there is a timeline at the top to view them by, etc. It took some time to classify all the existing photos, but it has been worth the time.

Summary: PS Album is fine for finding photos; if you have the time
Comment: I had been using my computer file system (image folders grouped by date or event) for several years to store and find photos. That method began to fail as the number of photos in my computer approached 1000; just too many places to look. PS Album provides an easier way to sort and find images. The best feature is that the program will automatically search your disk(s) and find, catalog and create a thumbnail of all the images on your disk(s). It even found some images I thought I had lost during a previous upgrade.
You can then use the default time line sort to find images, but only if you are one of those people who remember dates well. The provided search tools work well (if you can remember dates) or have spent a significant amount of time tagging the images with keys other than date/time. In either case, the program sometimes runs slowly, even on a 2.6 GHz machine, so it takes quite a while to look through large collections of images. The provided image editing tools are very limited, and calling an alternate editor from PS Album is a bit slow and clumsy. This product is quite useful but would be much better if it was faster and had methods to easily tag groups of images.

Summary: No problems here
Comment: I have read some of the previous reviews for this product. I have to say that I have never had any of the problems described.

The program is easy to use and my pictures would be lost without it.

Summary: Half baked
Comment: Do not buy this program. The software is unable to video encode a slide show to video disk or dvd. The online help file instructs you to remove any background music. It's amazing how these companies charge full price, taking good money for a product that doesn't deliver as advertised.
