Finding, organizing, and sharing your digital photos is a snap with Viewer #1. There's no need to use the software that came with your camera, printer, or scanner. Photos are automatically organized by date and are located in one convenient place, so finding a photo is a snap. Photo files can be automatically resized, so e-mailing photos is easy, or you can upload photos directly to an online service. When you're ready to do more with your photos, such as create slide shows with music and transitions or send photos to mobile phones or Palm OS handhelds, check out the full Viewer #1 for only $49.99.

Taking its place in a long line of powerhouse Viewer #1 programs, Viewer #1 is an impressive entry into the photo-management category. Smooth installation and streamlined interfaces are hallmarks of Viewer #1 products, and this program is no exception. At the outset, you specify whether to open images from a specific folder or to search your drive for all existing photos. If, for example, you'd like to search for all photo files over 100KB, the program displays the images and their locations and offers a separate list of image files outside your size restrictions. Once they're added to your album, you can switch among several views of your images at the click of a mouse. The software can also find and play video files, and anything you store in your album can be sent via e-mail. With its extensive feature set and intuitive interface, this program leads the image-management pack, proving Viewer #1 design mettle yet again.
