Digital photo album

Just wondering which program community uses to make

their digital photo albums.

I want to make digital photo albums to distribute on the

CD to my relatives and so I am looking for program which

meets following requirements:

1. The CD should be viewable without installation of any

other program.

2. The picture should be retained as originals so that they

can be copied individually incase somebody wants to print

them (i.e. shouldn't get converted in proprietary format)

3. I should be able to provide captions to every picture.

4. Possibility of integrating video file in picture album is

plus.

5. Background sound is also plus but not as essential as

integration of video.

To the best of my knowledge, Picasa doesn't allow to put captions on every picture. I have tried it (or otherwise I failed to find out this option)

IrfanView, I can make slideshow but same thing again, couldn't figure out to add captions and how to save that slideshow

I don't need to play on DVD player, because I believe, it may change the picture resolution or change it to some format from which extraction of original print would be difficult (otherwise Kodak photo CD is easiest option, like just copy Kodak Photo CD and replace the picture in picture folders with the one you want)

Rotate left rotates the image 90 degrees to the left.

Rotate right rotates the image 90 degrees to the right.

Transpose rotates the image 180 degrees to the right.

Invert flips the image from top to bottom.

Mirror flips the image from left to right.

By Degree rotates the image the number of degrees you enter and the direction that you indicate.

Using effects can be fun, but since usually the intent of images is to display, effects usually get in the way. Use with caution! One very good use of effects, however, is to convey an idea without actually showing enough detail for folks to pick out faces. If you like a picture, but don't know if the students in it have signed their image permission form, use an effect!

Which effect is an esthetic decision. Several of the effects ("Chalk and Charcoal," "Graphic Pen," "Notepaper," "Stamp") produce black and white images - a striking effect with the added benefit of greatly-reduced file size.

MS Photo Editor in Office Beta 2007

All of a sudden, I notice that I cannot open any of my .jpg files, either by

clicking on them or attempting to open from MS Photo Editor. I've no idea

what has happened, but my pictures are all inaccessible to me. I get an error

message in MS Photo Editor that I cannot open the file. Any ideas? I was able

to open them since I downloaded the Beta version, just not now. Thanks for

anyone's help!
