File

Add Photo:

• From File: This opens a window which allows you to manually select pictures to add to the album. Once the window is open you can select any picture in a format supported by PhotoAlb. Clicking on a picture should produce a Preview of that picture. If it does you can add it to the virtual photo-album by clicking ADD. When you are finished click CLOSE.
• From TWAIN Scanner: This opens a windows which allows you to capture images from a TWAIN device such as a Scanner; Digital Camera; Video Capture card; etc. Click SELECT SCANNER to select the TWAIN device to use. Next click GET IMAGE to capture an image from the device [on certain systems clicking Cancel on the window that appears when you click GET IMAGE, can cause the TWAIN drivers and hence PhotoAlb to crash.] Click SAVE to save the image to disk and to add it to the album.

Search for Photos: This opens a window which allows you to specify a directory which PhotoAlb will search for pictures. You can specify the file format and the first few letters of the picture if you wish. WITH PREVIEW shows you each picture it finds and asks you if you want to add it. You can also change the comment for that picture at the same time. WITHOUT PREVIEW adds all the pictures it finds in that directory to the album.

Save Album: This saves the virtual photo-album to disk.

Save Album As: This allows you to save the current photo-album under a different name.

Close Album: This closes the virtual photo-album and returns you to the library.

Print Index: This opens a print preview window which allows you to print an index, with any comments you have entered. There is help available by clicking HELP.

Print Album: This allows you to print a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) copy of the virtual photo-album. You can specify the size, and which pages you wish to print.

Preferences: This opens the preferences window.
