Summary: Absolutely Great!
Review: I have been looking for some time for an easy way to save pictures on a CD to send to parents and friends who don't have XP, or don't know how to use XP's picture handling capability.

PhotoExplorer works simply and effectively. You can create a slide show (extra benefit:pick slides from various folders), and then export it to a disk as a web page. Even better, it provides capability to give slides titles (different than the file name), and display them on the web page if desired. You can even rearrange order, and program will rename files to keep new order intact. And finally, you can edit each with FrontPage if you have it.

Great program! I've used the trial verson only two days, and have ordered the (inexpensive) full version. Buy it now!

Summary: Avoid this software
Review: I ordered the CD and tried installing this software on two different machines running Windows 2000. In both cases, the install process crashed and gave an undecipherable error message . I contacted the company and was e-mailed instructions on how to download the product. I downloaded it and was able to install it, but it crashes constantly. In sum, I would avoid this product.

Summary: Be forewarned

I contacted the company and they e-mailed me instructions to download the product (they would not send me a new CD). I downloaded it and was able to install it, but it crashes so often as to be unusable. In sum, I would avoid this product.

Summary: Does Exactly What I Needed - Nice and Simple
Review: I really love this product. It does exactly what I needed. I am not into advanced photo editing - but I did need some software to help organize my shots. Here's what I like about this application:

1. Easy to capture and organize files: I can quickly retreive photes from my camera's memory card. The software will ask me what directory to save in, and then it gives me the option to rename the files into something sensible (I don't know about you, but I find those code names that the camera assigns to files to be pretty annoying - this let's me get around that very simply and automatically).

2. It provides basic photo editing and retouching capabilities. Nothing advanced, but it handles 99.9% of what I need.

3. Web pages: I didn't expect to use this feature at all. I was just looking to organize files on my hard drive. The truth is, it is SOOO easy to create good looking web pages in about 3 minutes, that I couldn't resist. It actually almost happened by itself as I was playing around with the software. The "html" files created by the program took about 5 minutes to upload to Geocities (or whatever host you care to use).

4. Printing: It is now very easy to print in a variety of useful formats. I don't have to worry about the image file size. I just tell the software how I want the page to look. You can't go wrong if you tried.

All in all, this inexpensive program has totally made digital photography a much more fun and convenient thing. I recommend it highly.
