Album Shaper strives to be the most friendly, easy to use, open source application for organizing, annotating, framing, enhancing, stylizing and sharing your digital photos.
Album Shaper embraces open formats like XML, JPEG, and XSLT, while supporting Windows, Mac OS X and Unix users who speak a multitude of languages around the world.
Image Previews
It is pretty common to have a directory full of files that have similar names. Now you can pick out the ones you want before you add them using the new file preview functionality.
In addition seeing what photos look like, you'll the image resolution, type, and size.
Annotating Photos
Album Shaper provides possibly the easiest way to annotate your photos.
To add a photo description, simply click the info button and watch your photo grow in place and provide a place to enter or short or long description.
Framing
You can select regions of the image using common aspect ratios or your display resolution. Selections can be dragged around, scaled in place, and rotated about their centers.
Correcting Tilt
The correct tilt feature helps straighten your photos in a snap. Album Shaper doesn't need you to carefully tell it how much to rotate your photo by dragging a slider or typing in the number of degrees.
Instead, just identify what should have been a vertical or horizontal edge and you're done.
Histogram Editing, Brightness, and Contrast
While Album Shaper provides a number of automatic image fixing tools such as color and contrast correction and red-eye reduction, sometimes it is necessary to directly edit the image histogram.
Using Album Shaper's "split-view" interface, you can quickly enhance your images and see the results side by side with the original form in real time.
