The program automatically generates panning and zooming from your mouse movements, but you can also manually specify which effects you want and when you'd like them to occur. The next screen asks you to record a narrative as you speak, you move the mouse to point out important areas of the image, then step to the next photo in the series. Entirely wizard-driven, the process begins by selecting the pictures you want to use. We were less impressed with Photo Story, which lets you generate an animated, narrated filmstrip out of a series of static photographs. The template designs are attractive, if a bit simple, but they can be modified to suit your individual tastes. The process is so basic that almost anyone can slap these together in a few minutes. We detoured from writing this review long enough to make a 12-month calendar and several sets of postcards. There are hundreds of projects you can use your photos to create playing cards, magazine covers, stationery sets, labels, stickers, awards, albums, cards, flyers-you get the idea. One of Digital Image's most amusing features is its Project mode, a collection of photo-related activities that can easily distract you for hours. These tools are accompanied by unobtrusive wizardlike walkthroughs that take the guesswork out of image editing.Īdding special effects is simple and effective. You'll also find a few artistic special effects and several preset borders and shapes to add to your image. Sophisticated tools, including layering, transparency, and a panorama-stitch wizard, allow you to do more than make a pretty picture.
There's a standard array of automatic fixes for contrast, color, and exposure, as well as a selection of manual controls for sharpening, red-eye reduction, and the removal of wrinkles or scratches. To adjust your image, use Digital Image's toolbox. Even though all of Digital Image Pro's tweaks, effects, and project options are accessible from the Menu bar, we found the program's Common Tasks panel-located on the left side of the display-to provide easier access to most tools you'll need while editing. To touch up an image, launch Digital Image Pro from the Start bar, or right-click a thumbnail and select Edit Picture. The program also allows you to schedule automatic backup reminders, so you'll never forget to safeguard your photo library. When you select the Archive button on the toolbar, a wizard appears to help you select photos and choose an archive destination: CD, DVD, or an external hard drive, for example. Perhaps most importantly, Digital Image Library provides tools for archiving your photos. Add, delete, edit, and assign keywords with a single dialog box.
