Album Shaper? Many of us have an
ever-increasing collections of digital photos that we are starting to lose control over. Most likely it is difficult
or tedious to oragnize these photos, label them, and rotate those that need it. The web is full of scripts to make
web photo albums, which are great compared to the alternative of doing everything by hand, but quickly pose a number
of problems. What if you want to create a smaller photo album of select photos for a specific event? What if you want
to go back and edit your photos later, perhaps adjusting the color balance, rotating photos that need it, or annotate
your photos and collections in general so you won't forget what the things are you saw and witnessed. With scripts or
by hand these chores are painful, slow, and end up breaking down. Digital cameras become problematic, annoying, and
you might even stop taking photos out of fear of what you will do with them. |
