Terrible Application

(1 out of 5) by Paul Schindler on Dec 20, 2004 (Seattle, WA USA)
Most likely one of the most frustrating applications ever to pollute my hard drive! I'm an avid user of Photoshop, I think it's a wonderful application, so how can the folks at Adobe create Photoshop Album, and screw it up so bad?!? The program crashes, ruins pictures, makes slide shows of your pictures all cropped wrong, with no option to change it.

Run!

Rebate Scam

(1 out of 5) by E. Hall on Aug 31, 2004 (Houston, TX United States)
Beware. Adobe is not honoring the rebate on this item. That and the poor quality of this software mean that you should look elsewhere.

Lots of trouble

This program would be great if it did everything it claimed.

Full of Bugs

(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 8, 2004
I would avoid this software. Download Picasa for free try out and see how it works. I have had nothing but problems with this version of photoshop album. I purchased it because I had used 1.0 and it worked pretty good. I have had lots of troubles with colors being different on the thumbnails fron the true colors. Lots of bugs and crashing. You must pay for support also - doens't seem fair.

Great concept, poor quality

(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jun 21, 2004
I like Photoshop Album. The user interface is quite intuitive, it's reasonably fast and it has all the features I need for working with thousands of digital photos.

However, it wouldn't have hurt if Adobe had spent a few more QA cycles on it. I have updated to 2.0.1, but it's still pretty shaky.
Try to type european special characters via Alt+0xxx in the caption line - BOOM.
Try to import photos from a folder that also contains Quicktime videos (which my digital camera generates) - BOOM, and no workaround. There are now whole areas of my photo collection that I cannot view because I have accidentally imported Quicktime videos...
I don't use the "Creations" and "Online Services" parts of the program at all, so I can't say anything about them.

I'd give four stars if the quality was reasonable. Let's hope the next version is better.
