This free program offers an excellent way to organize, view, manage, and edit your photo, by creating photo albums out of them. Once you have them organized, you can play a slideshow of each album, upload an album to a Web site, and send an album via e-mail. You'll also be able to use the program to send the photos via e-mail, copy photos to a CD, copy them to a memory card or create a screensaver from them.
Photozig Albums Express also includes some very solid photo-editing tools for cropping, fixing red eye, and changing the brightness and contrast. There's also a one-click Quick Fix feature that will automatically clean up photos for you.
Creating an album is quite easy. Just point the program at a folder, and it automatically imports all photos. If you have a lot of photos on your PC, though, when you install the program, don't tell it to automatically search for and import your photos, because that could take a substantial amount of time. Unless you want to wait a while, or if you have a need to import them all at once, you'll be better off manually pointing it at folders.
This free version of Photozig Albums is a stripped-down version of for-pay software that includes both Deluxe and Premium editions. This free Express version has some limitations, such as only allowing you to copy 100 photos to a CD and only being able to e-mail 12 photos at a time. If that's problematic, you can always pay for the upgraded versions. But if you can live with the minor limitations, you'll find this Photozig Albums Express a great bet.
