Anyone else tried this? I downloaded it this morning and it seems pretty good.

Basically organises your photos and allows you to make basic edits (such as B&W, contrast, colur balance and so on) and lets you create screensavers and slideshows.

It's fantastic for flicking through and finding pics, and the CD slideshow burner is very slick and pretty handy for those post-party CDs for relatives...

My God this is such a brilliant program!
I don't normally bother with any gallery software as they don't seem to do anything extra than Windows explorer, but this is fantastic.
Gift CDs are a brilliant idea, web pages take about 5 clicks, the image editing does everything I need, I hear it's good at resizing batches (I wouldn't know as I use the XP Powertoy resize).
And it's free.

to Google.

It is excellent, and even supports Canon CR2 files...
(though they look better in Canon Digital Photo Professional)

It's what I now use every time for showing people shots - and it's free!!!
