Best computer program for pictures?

We’ve got several generations worth of pictures of ancestors, etc. Other family members have their own pictures which we can borrow and scan.

Our thoughts are to scan all these pictures into one computer and then have a complete set of family photos together in one place. These could then be shared on-line or printed and so forth.

Currently this computer has the Kodak program that came with our camera and CompuPic at $60 per year.

Anybody using a program that they think would be better than the above for this project? Any ideas about the best and easiest program to use will be appreciated.

I’m not sure if it’s available for PC, but iPhoto for the Mac is wonderful for sorting pics into albums, ordering slides, prints, creating virtual and real albums etc.

That article actually refers to v 1.0, they’re onto a far more robust 2.0 now.

Also, a quick search yields this as well. Might be worth checking out.

Thanks so much, picker! The nice young woman :wink: that’s going to be doing this went to the link you provided and she proclaims that to be “just what she was looking for.” She’s downloaded it and has been using the program for a couple of hours now and she’s quite satisfied with the results.

If you ever get in these parts, I’ll buy you a beer.

No worries, John! Say hello to the little lady for me.

Dejah Thoris, I presume?

But of course! She’s really become quite handy on computers in recent years. It’s a bitch when she gets some program about half installed and then gets abducted by one villan or the other. We wind up being off-line for days while I go through the tiresome process of performing yet another rescue.

Ah, well. I’ve come to learn that sweet rewards must be earned. :wink:
