SWiSHpix
Photo album creation for Web sites, CDs, and screen savers.

Requirements:
N/A

Rating:

Pros:
-  Easy and intuitive
-  Photo editing built in
-  Attractive interface (it's important to us)
-  A ton of customizations and controls
-  Great output
-  It's a load of fun to use

Cons:
-  You can't modify fonts for themes without a second tool. 
-  Only one font and font style for picture captions. 
-  Limited support for audio formats.

Support for multiple font styles in captions and editing fonts in the interface would have earned SWiSHpix 5 stars.

Introduction

We'll admit it.  We weren't overwhelmingly excited about doing a review on SWiSHpix.  It's one of those products that our customers are really wanting information on, but we just didn't have that much interest.  That all changed once we got our copy of SWiSHpix.  From the moment we started using it, we were hooked. 

Usually we'll create one or two projects for a review so that we can get the hang of how a product works and get some real working experience.  Not with SWiSHpix.  We were digging up digital camera images from years ago and creating slide shows and screen savers left and right.  As a matter of fact, it was hard to tear ourselves away long enough to write a review!

Getting Started

The SWiSHpix dialog is divided into 5 tabs.  Each tab represents one of the steps that you take to built your album.  Each tab has unique features and tool sets, and some tools cross-over to other tabs as well.

These five steps seem like a logical way to present a review on SWiSHpix, so we'll present each one of these tabs separately and finish with the publication process and a few samples of what you can do with this excellent product.
