Amazon.co.uk Review
There are plenty of applications around for organising digital photographs, but Adobe's IPhotoshop Album 2.0/I pulls a couple of very useful extra rabbits out of the hat.p The new version of Adobe's IPhotoshop Album/I introduces extra tools to simplify the organisation of your digital photo collection still further. The introduction of indexing "tags" and improvements in the ways you view your images are matched by support for Palm-OS-based PDAs and mobile phones.p Once set up, the first task for IPhotoshop Album/I is to find all the photos on your PC. It performs a comprehensive search of all drives, finding images in all the common file formats. These are automatically arranged in date order, in what Adobe calls the Photo Well. This is basically a thumbnail viewer of all or selected images, with a timeline at the top indicating when the photographs were taken. p Details of the photos, such as EXIF information, are preserved and can be viewed by clicking on individual shots. A more detailed picture of your collection is available in calendar view. This looks like a desktop calendar, but the date squares contain pictures organised by date. p Adobe's new system of tags enables you to quickly create index keywords, such as the name of a relation or a place you visited on holiday, and to add these tags to your images. You can add them to several pictures at once and add as many tags as you need to individual shots. Once you've done this, with a couple of mouse clicks you can call up all images containing the tags you're interested in. p A final way of selecting images to view is using the Intelligent Photo Assistant. This searches through your images and compares them with a target image you've picked, looking for similar content. The technique works best with landscape shots, but it's still a useful way of hunting down elusive images. p Photo retouching is simple and automatic, with fixes available for lighting, colour and sharpness and "pick and click" red-eye removal.p Finally, you can burn CDs and DVDs directly from IPhotoshop Album 2/I and send images to e-mail contacts, phones, PDAs and TiVo Series 2 digital video recorders. --ISimon Williams/I

I am a little surprised by some of the reviews that have been made for Photoshop Album 2 - it does everything I would want to as an amateur and is pretty intuitive to use.pI did not buy V1.0 and have waited a little before getting V2.0; this has allowed Adobe to produce a downloadable upgrade (v2.01) in the meantime which I immediately installed. I can only assume that this has helped iron out some of the flaws experienced by others who bought the original product.pHaving had Photoshop Elements for some time and therefore wanting to capitalise on the compatibility between the 2 products, Album was more attractive to me than its competition in any case, and therefore I knew a little of what to expect.pI have found the tagging feature pretty easy to use, it has loaded all my pictures into its Catalogue without any problem and its picture fixing facilities, though fairly basic, work pretty well. Clearly, more sophisticated editing requires Elements or another similar product.pOverall, it seems pretty good value. If you have been put off by some of the earlier negative reviews, it may still be worth taking the plunge.
Excellent software - but a swindle for upgraders January 10, 2004

I thought the first release of Album was an excellent program. Easily the best way to sort and tag photos that I've ever found. Fast, incredibly quick searches, very flexible. *But* it did have a couple of fairly horrible features: if you moved your photos to a different disc, for example, you had to manually reconnect each one to Album. (This one was *very* painful after a PC upgrade mid last year). Also, you couldn't add your own top-level tags, for example. It feels to me that all those gripes have been ironed out and the resulting program is very firmly recommended to you. It's probably the best of its kind.brBUT, if you have Album 1, you're going to feel hard done by. Yes, you still need the program to sort out those impossible foibles - but there's no upgrade path. You have to fork out the full price simply to sort things that shouldn't have been so bad in the first place. There aren't a huge number of differences that I can see that will really make you feel like you got your money's worth. And in that respect, I do feel cheated.brSo, first time buyers: buy it and be delighted. Upgraders: buy it, cos you need to, and feel aggrieved at the value for money.
