I
confess! I did not think I would be so impressed! But WOW! Club Photo's Album
To Go™ 2.0 is great tool that is easy to use, that I will use
and it's free!
So what can you do with Album
To Go™ 2.0 and why I am so impressed? Album
To Go™ 2.0 consists of a Windows file converter and and Palm
OS image viewer. With the Windows file converter, users can select
and group images in albums for transfer to Visor
Handheld or other Palm OS device (requires Palm OS 3.1 or
higher). The friendly Windows interface allows you to set size (up to 1280x1024)
as well as color depth (4-bit, 8-bit, or 16-bit). Cropping
images to the 160x160 default display was a simple intuitive process
of centering in the box and hitting a button. And for those without
color, the grey scale is great. Even the old faded color images
I transferred to my Visor Platinum
displayed well.
Album
To Go™ 2.0 allows you to create
multiple albums, view albums by picture icons, beam albums between
friends and family and create slideshows with optional creative
effects. So far I have created an album of family photos and have
started an album of research images (complete with titles and notes) to share
with colleagues at meetings.
Albums (single images or sets) can be stored in main memory or on a
springboard (smart move). Other features such as searchable photo titles and photo notes,
thumbnail viewing, photo copying between albums as well as real-time scaling and panning
demonstrate that Club Photo has given a lot of thought to making Album
To Go™ 2.0 live up to its name.
