It's an easy-to-use program for editing, sharing and creating slide shows and photo projects including scrapbooks, collages and calendars. Editing: Photo Album 7 has powerful, easy-to-use editing tools including a one-click Quick Fix for color and contrast, red-eye removal, image rotation, cropping and resizing, and special tools to remove blemishes, paint on a suntan and whiten teeth. Enhance images with borders, frames, convert to black & white or sepia, and create custom panoramas. Download, view and share video clips, cut the unwanted portions of your video clip, save individual video frames as still pictures and turn video clips into music videos. Creative Projects: There are hundreds of professionally designed templates for making scrapbooks, collages, calendars, greeting cards, magazine covers and more. You can turn photos and video clips into a slide show with music. Special creative features include scrapbook designs by Sandra Magsamen or Smilebox, artistic embellishments, Picture Tubes™ graphics, and photo frames and edges. Photo Organizer Organizing and sorting your photos is simple. Search functions include finding photos by text in captions, tags or filenames, sorting by date, file, name or rating.
