InAlbum helps you turn your digital photos and video into stunning photo albums. It's fun, quick, and easy. Simply start by choosing from ready-to-use templates or custom templates, which let you combine, mix, and match background animations, buttons, photo frames, fonts, and transition effects. Decorate with animated clip art, text animation, GIF animation, speech bubbles, sounds, MP3 music, and even your own voice. You can publish a photo album as a Flash file, an AVI video file, HTML, an executable file, screensaver, or wallpaper. Burn it to CD or DVD/VCD (playable on TVs), send it to friends and family by email, or host it for free at your 100MB Personal InAlbum Web site.

Version 3 adds several key features such as video import, powerfull DVD menu editor, high quality DVD movie output, and text animation.

Editor's review of InAlbum Deluxe Transform your digital photos

Despite a few minor flaws, InAlbum still stands as one of the better slide-show creators we've gotten our hands on. The program's interface is both attractive and easy to navigate. Five step-by-step tabs walk you through the process of collecting photos, selecting or designing templates, editing images, decorating the show, and adding music.

You can alter brightness and contrast, as well as choose from a boatload of effects such as fish-eye, mosaic, and twister. In our tests, the program did just fine with JPEGs and GIFs, but wouldn't accept BMPs. InAlbum lets you decorate your show with whimsical icons, such as bullhorns and Dracula teeth, and you can use either your own MP3s or the bundled audio files as a soundtrack. The latest version includes video import and DVD creation features, allowing you to mix home movies and photos.

When you're all done, you can save your creation as a screensaver, a Flash clip, HTML, or an EXE file. Due to this program's ease of use and strong feature set, we think shutterbugs of all stripes will really enjoy InAlbum.
