Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The main function of Pinnacle Instant PhotoAlbum is to produce slideshows of your digital photographs, which you can dress up with a front-end menu and burn to a VideoCD or DVD. Before committing them to disc, though, you can touch up your images using the program's photo editor.
You start by creating a photo album (a collection of images), which you can build by selecting photos from where they're stored on disk, from a digital camera attached to your PC or from a scanner. The individual shots are shown as a series of 35 mm slide-sized thumbnails on the screen.
Double-clicking on any of these images launches the program's built-in photo editor and this is the most comprehensive part of the application. At the base level it offers the most obvious tools as single click operations. Here you can rotate your images, adjust contrast and brightness, correct "red-eye" and apply any of a series of filters.
If this doesn't offer quite enough control, you can move to the Advanced Edit function, where you can perform more detailed corrections, including colour balance, focus and resizing. For more sophisticated adjustment still, the Artwork option on the sidebar calls up tools for applying different textures to the canvas of your photo, edge adjustments, text and a good selection of special effects.
Surprisingly, there's very little in the way of printing templates to get the most out of expensive inkjet photo paper. Most programs of this type offer a variety of different print layouts and sizes, so you can select and print images just the way you want them.
VideoCD and DVD slideshows are Instant PhotoAlbum's strength and you can choose from 46, themed front-end menus, covering topics such as sport, parties, holidays and other events which are likely to have got you snapping. You can add music and simple transitions to your slideshows and burn them straight to disc without having to involve any third-party programs.
Currently included with the package is a labelling kit, consisting of a Neato jig for lowering a blank CD or DVD onto its sticky label. A label and case insert are provided for you to try out. --Simon Williams

As the other reviews, the software looks good and the possibilities
could be wonderful, the test run you can do before burning looks great. This is the way you want to show your holiday pictures to your friends!

Entering the burning tab, trashes your enthusiasm by displaying "CD Writer not found" Whilst the setup nicely displays the writer.
Contacting the Pinnacle "Internet" helpdesk (Instant products don't have telephone support).
Completely ignore your complaint and ask you to send your computer config. From which they conclude you should uninstall any burner software, virus scan etc.
If the helpdesk personnel would take a second to read, they would have found the software didn't function on 4 different machines, including 2 clean installed systems.
I'm really disappointed, not only in the software but mostly in the support.
Next try is going to be the Ulead counterpart, hope I can show my photo's before the next holiday.

I chose Instant Photo Album after downloading the trial version from the Pinnacle Web site, my criteria was to catalogue and store photos, undertake some basic tweaking and burn a CD so that I could view the pictures via the TV using my DVD Recorder. The trial version worked just fine and at such a keen price it was irresistible. That the good news! Once the software arrived and it was loaded it refuses to recognise my CD Writer. Ten e-mails later from Pinnacles technical support and it still will not recognise the CD writer. I have tried loading the progam on two other different computers and it will not recognise the CD writer on those.
Pinnacle has been unable to identify the problem or answer why the trial version recognised my CD Writer. The only system change I have made since the downloading the trial version is updating Windows XP with SP2. It might be cheap but it does not work!!!!

The software from the outside looks great, take photos put them on your PC, add music burn to a CD and watch them on your DVD player. Unfortunately the software wont see your CD writer, I contacted support they told me to uninstall my virus checker, other burning software any other similr software, I did all this and it still failed, next was to send them a file containaing all my PC data, this failed next was to tell me my cd drives were faulty, now they just ignore me. So i have sent the software back.
