Digital photo album suggestions?

At the group I go to they use Proshow. Its not overly expensive. You could fit more than one trip on a dvd disk. When I get the time I am planning to download many of my photos into this kind of format. As you said say Family in Years, Trips in Years, etc. You can then use it like any dvd or on the computer with a menu on the front and just look at the one you want. You can also download it but it will show the stamp of the company on it while you test it out.

ProShow for slide shows

Picasa is free. Its damm good for $0. just punch in picasa into google and it will tell you more about it.

Thanks for your thoughts
I also had a look at what tucows has to offer, this one seemed to be the most popular http://www.tucows.com/preview/341117. Pproshow and picasa look impressive, but it made me think perhaps that the time taken for general photos would be a bit labourious? On our trip to central oz I came back with 1257 photos, first clean up took it down to 1090, so I need something simple and quick LOL
Perhaps just the plain filing system is best for general photo's and use this type of product for special events? Then how will that method pan out in say 10 years when all the software changes?
Too many questions, too many photos :-)
cheers

You live and learn I only went to Proshow because thats what the group uses generally. I could have used Power Point. I dont doubt the other one recommended is as good and if its free its worth trying. I found ProShow has more inbuilt choices than what I discovered in Powerpoint, but in power point I could add the flashing effects and animations (gifs) and proshow doesnt accept these but it does accept the videos my camera takes. I will go look at the other one out of interest. Carolyn

Another free one which I like and use is My Album
It is an album handler, not a image editor. I like it because it is easy to shuffle the order of your pictures with click and drag and there are lots of options for the way you view the slide show. When I did have a question I wrote to the support email and had an answer the next day.

I have just downloaded Picasa2 and its a very nice way to browse through your photos, does lots of other things as well and FREE. LO

I have Adobe Photoshop 7 as well.

On this extended trip we are on, with two cameras working, I have used the simple method by creating different folders each time I download the pics. In other words " Camp 6 to Camp 8" for example. Then if I have time of an evening I name the different pics. Will re-organise each folder within a folder when we get home.

http://www.cywarp.com/download.htm is also good..
