Adobe recently released a new version of their free Photoshop Album Starter Edition, which is almost too basic considering all the features packed into Google’s free Picasa app. Minor photo editing like red eye removal, auto color correction and brightness adjustment improve photo appearance. Share photos by emailing or sending to cell phones. Print images to online photo services or as print-on-demand photo books. Photo sorting organizes images based on a variety of criteria including camera date stamp. While the included features work very well, Picasa gives you similar options and integrated blog posting, better management options and a long list of features Adobe provides as part of the pay version of Photoshop Album. If you’re looking for bare bones photo management created by a trusted name in imaging, Photoshop Album Starter Edition certainly fits the bill. If you want effective photo management, better to look elsewhere or spend a few dollars on the commercial version of this app. [Windows 9x/2k/XP]
