The New Photo Album Feature is a Huge Time Saver

by Moore Anderson

How much time have you spent tediously inserting pictures one frame at a time to create slide shows and modules? Too much, I bet. With the Insert/ Photo Album feature, that is all behind you. Simply go to the Insert menu and call up Picture, then New Photo Album. That will give you the dialog shown below:



After you select "Insert picture from File/Disk", you then browse to find the folder of images you want to insert and select as many as you want, then hit the "Select" button on that dialog. That takes you back to the above dialog. Now you can reorder your frames or choose alternate picture layouts.

There are other choices besides full frame. You can choose 2 or 4 pictures per frame with titles and rounded corners, etc. Explore the "Album Layout"choices in the lower left of the dialog box. To finish, just click the "Create" button and… MAGIC! It creates a complete show with a picture stretched to full size in each frame. Gotta love it! Creating candid (end-of-event photo sequence to music) modules and retirement shows is a snap. This feature alone justifies upgrading to 2002 XP.
