• Flip Image.
• Flop Image.
• Rotate Left 90 °
• Rotate Right 90 °

Customizable Watermarks

You can choose to watermark photos that you display in your albums. This prevents unauthorized use of your photos.

The following attributes of a watermark may be customized.

• Text
• Font
• Color
• Opacity (Alpha Blending)
• Size
• Position
• Threshold Image Size (Since watermarking small thumbnails makes little sense.)

Each photo may bear a different watermark. If no watermark is specified at the photo level, the application defaults to the watermark specified for the installation.

Musical Photo Greeting

The application allows a user to send any picture as a greeting card. An online WYSIWYG editor makes designing and sending cards an absolute delight!

While creating a photo card you can associate a midi file with it. When the recipient displays the card the midi file plays in the background.

User Selectable Skins

The application ships with two theme based skins. You can easily add more. A user can choose to view his / her albums with the skin of his / her choice.
