Digital Scrapbooking Software

By George Carmichael

There is nothing better than the digital camera! When I think back to the "old days" when I used film cameras, I can't believe how much better we have it now! I remember taking a photo and hoping against hope that at least a majority of the photos on the film would turn out nicely so that I didn't "waste" money at the film developer's on photos that didn't turn out. With the advent of digital cameras, I know that if I'm not immediately satisfied with a photo I've taken, I can just delete it and re-shoot the picture!

As much as I love the better technology of the digital camera, I have to admit that I used to take better care of my old, film-developed photographs. It used to be such a process to have great quality photos; you had to be careful when taking the picture, you had to send the film away or wait an hour to have the film developed, you had to pay to have the photos developed, with no guarantee that the photo would turn out well, that once I had a great quality photo, I always lovingly put it in an album or scrapbook for safe keeping!

Now that I take digital photos, I suddenly have hundred, if not thousands, of photos cluttering up my computer and taking up valuable space. I rarely develop my photos anymore, I just tend to take photo after photo, upload it to my computer, and then forget about it!

Luckily, I have now found something that will help me to use the hundreds of digital photos that I have taken; digital scrapbooking software! Digital scrapbooking software allows me to create incredible photo albums and scrapbooks with just a few clicks of the mouse!

How do you choose the digital scrapbooking software thats right for you? Here it pays to do your research.
