I like the feature to combine albums in different styles. An opening style provides an amazing animation at the beginning of the show. Nice transition between two albums, brilliant special effects, and great graphics with super quality.

3D-Album is particularly great for picture show on TV. I would suggest people who bought 3D-Album also get their DVD capture software. Enabling anti-aliasing effect during capture creates very good images. It also mixes the sound and music very well.

The company's website provides piles of new 3-D presentation themes that you can add to the software for free.

They have first-rate customer support. Last week, I downloaded a new style from their website and find the image in the style is flipped. I emailed them about the problem and they fixed it within an hour.

"Great software"
Awesome email tech support....I was looking for a program that worked with XP and that would allow me to creat a photo slide show with more than 100 pictures....This one was it hands down...very simple to use with editing pictures, adding voice and music and creating fun styles.

Bought the video capture add in, so that i could burn the picture show on a dvd....worked like a charm...

my previous program would only let you do 99 pictures per dvd...

this is an awesome program that allows up 100000 frames..

"Poor Image Quality"
I created an album with images from various sources that looked good with Dell Picture & Fax Viewer. I created the album with the highest quality settings and played them through Nvidia GeForce MX420 and MX440 graphic cards on 2 different systems. The image quality was real poor on the MX420 and ok with the MX440. The most important features to me in the album is the quality of the pictures which were degraded serious. There support people responded promptly and explained the graphics cards needed special settings to get good quality. I tried these settings and got no improvement. The final comment from support is that "people will tell me the quality I get is good for the money I paid for the product". In other words, what to you expect for what you paid. If your concerned about image quality don't buy this product. It's too bad, the features are real nice.

"Awesome Product!"
Simply put, this is an amazing piece of software! I bought it to help spruce up my 1000's of digital pictures taken over the last few years.

There are literally dozens of templates for the various 3d slideshows. Even better, the 3d album website has new templates every month or so! What a great way to keep these slideshows interesting!

After buying the program, I decided to purchase the VCD/DVD add-on component from the manufacturer. This allows me to create videos that play in most set top DVD players. Neat. It is important to note, however, this add-on is an additional 20 bucks, plus shipping. But, if you have a CD or DVD burner, it is well worth the extra money to have this option.

I did have a problem early on with the quality of the photos this program produced (looked like wet paint), but after visiting the 3d-album website, it was an easy fix. In other words, if you are not getting VERY high quality output from your slideshows, then it is not the software, but something on your system. My ATI card needed an adjustment in the Open GL settings. Easy, and now it works perfect.

Overall, this program should appeal to anyone that has a digital camera, or digital images on their computer. It is easy to use, produces awesome slideshows, and has some customization as well. I'm a semi-pro photographer as well, and I normally use Sonic Foundry's Vegas 4+DVD for my slideshows for paying customers. As another reviewer wrote, this version is designed for personal use only (makes sense, at this price), but the manufacturer is now offering a pro version for considerably more (250 or so). However, I'm sure you could make up the price difference in only a few videos. But, I'm willing to bet that 99% of the users who buy this software just want it because it's a neat way to display their digital photos.

What are you waiting for? Buy it and have FUN!!!

"Outstanding Picture Presentation Application"
After reading many of the glowing reviews for this product, I purchased it for both business and personal use. Since I enjoy editing digital pictures, I was curious if this program would live up to the hype. It most certainly does! A separate disk is included for a tutorial and examples, but this may not be necessary if you have a little experience with storing and editing digital pictures and sound files.

I have been running it with no problems on an 850 mhz Dell laptop. A slower processor (depending on the video card memory) may cause the program to slow to a crawl. Once you have established a number of picture and sound files to choose from on your hard drive, it takes only a matter of seconds to create an entirely new show using this program. You can try out the various template presentations before saving. There are a number of new templates being added that can be downloaded for free.

I amazed the people I work with when I used this program as an opening at a recent meeting. I also intend to save family pictures and set them to music for showing special events. A Jimmy Buffet tune playing in the background as island vacation pictures are displayed comes to mind. You will find yourself playing with the various presentaion options, since they are fun to watch with your personal photos. Overall, this is a fun and useful program, and a good value for the price.
