Getting Images

The first thing you want to do when you start Photo Express is to get the photos you want to work with into the actual program. The place you start is with Album. From here, you can do almost anything in Photo Express. All other ways of getting photos can work independently of Album, but they are also set up to let you capture or open images directly to it.

Note: the Project tab only allows you to open Project Template files (*.tpx and *.tpl). For information on adding photos and other images to the template, please see Working with Templates.

Working with Album

Album lets you organize the photos in your computer into convenient “books” similar to real- world photo albums. These books contain thumbnails of all the images you select to put in them, as well as links to said images, information, and annotations. This way, you have instant access to all your photos from directly within Photo Express. Organize photos by author, subject, title and catalog.

To create a new Album:

1.Click the Get category button on the Command Panel.

2.Select Album from the Toolbar.

3.Click the New button in the Options panel. The New Photo Album dialog box opens and you can set up the new album file.
