ese two functions along with other nifty touches.
The program's two main components -- the library and the darkroom -- dovetail together seamlessly. In the library, you can open up photo albums you have created and given names such as "Tim's Birthday." Launching the library opens up a por
tfolio that displays your photos using album, filmstrip, bulletin-board, or thumbnail metaphors, depending on your preference. Creating an album is a no-fuss project, with the ability to take input from digital cameras, scanners, or any TWAIN-compliant device. You can even scan the Internet to find photos using a search form built into the software.
The image-editing features aren't up to Adobe Photoshop's, but there is more than enough here to satisfy most PC photography hobbyists. All the basics are built in (e.g., flip, rotate, and resize), along with fun special effects such as mapping images to a cylinder or sphere or creating emboss or watercolor effects. When you make most adjustments, the software shows you numerous alternatives at once -- what G&A calls adjust by example -- so you can see how much of an effect you prefer.
PhotoRecall isn't everyone's answer to photo management and editing, but at an affordable price, it accomplishes many digital darkroom tasks.
