Summary: This Is Some Good Stuff!
Review: Of all the "photo browsers" out there like Compupic, Ulead Photo Explorer, and others I can't think of the names of at the moment, this is far and away the best one I've seen. The browser alone (ACDSee 4.0) is excellent, but coupled with the rest of the Power Pack, it's a far better deal. There's probably some things other than what I'm about to mention that I haven't stumbled across yet since I've only been using this for a couple weeks. But I'll tell what I've seen so far. This is a tough one to rate because it's basically four different programs. They interface with each other, but yet they're different. As I said, the browser is fantastic! You can do just about anything you need to within it. Move pictures from one location to the other, rename, resize, edit, and on and on. FotoVac allows you to download newsgroups and will then go into the ones you've subscribed to and download photos. And you know as well as I do that there's tons of newsgroups out there to pick from. FotoAngelo allows you to put together screensavers and slide shows. You can pull any photo from your files and make it wallpaper if that's what turns you on. FotoCanvas is the actual photo editor. It's very basic. Being used to Photoshop 6.0 and PhotoImpact, I didn't think FotoCanvas would be much use, but actually it is. It's very handy for quickie stuff. You won't be able to get fancy in it though. If the photo editor was a program on it's own, I'd give it 3 stars. To make a long story short, if you're looking for a great software package that does a super job of everything that it's intended to do, you've found it in ACDSee 4.0 Power Pack.
