Paint Shop Pro does have a few features that allow easier vector overlays, photo compositing, and format conversion. So I used both of these programs for the photos in this photo album. If you have scanned in a photo from a newspaper, photocopy, or other printed source, you will notice dots on the photo if you look at it closely. This is called half-screen and is a product of the printing or copying method. Occasionally, the photo would need to be sharpened after that.
Composer is easy to learn and is a good web page authoring tool.
But, it is a fairly large download which will take about an hour and a half over a phone line. FrontPage is a powerful, sometimes too powerful, web authoring and management tool. Almost every computer has at least one web browser or other software which can read this album. This will probably be the case for many, many years to come. To preserve the CD-ROM Family Photo Album , someone will have to copy it to the next popular format.
