Albums Screen

The Albums screen shows all your albums. Here, you can create and organize your photo albums.

Similar to bond photo albums, each digital album may contain a group of photos that are related to a certain theme or were taken at the same time frame. When you transfer or get photos from your digital camera, scanner, hard disk, or other device in your computer, Photozig Albums can create an album automatically for you, or you can store these photos in an existing album. You can also create an empty album by mouse right click and choose "Create New Album".

The program creates slide shows from albums automatically when you click on the "Play Slideshow" button. You can also mark albums as "Favorites" {Intermediate, Advanced} or place tags in a selected album (all photos of that album) {
Intermediate, Advanced}.

There are always two special albums in your collection:

• All My Photos: this album contains all photos from all albums that you created. This album is very useful when you want to look for particular photos quickly or perform some operations with all your photos.
• Photo Basket {Intermediate, Advanced}: this is a temporary album which may contain photos from different albums. This might be handy, as you can send photos to the Photo Basket when you are browsing your albums and perform an operation in this photo set, such as play a slide show, create a screen saver, email or send to a web album. When you send photos to the Photo Basket, the photos actually stay in the original albums, but are referred or accessed in the Photo Basket.

Each program level has a certain screen format:

• Beginner Album screen shows a list of albums
• Intermediate Album screen also shows a list of albums, but has more options
• Advanced Album screen can display albums in several different ways and has more sorting and navigation capabilities
