Question about software for pictures...

[Linnie The Pooh]

I've posted this earlier that my grandma is dying of cancer. I have one relative who wants all the photo albums. There are pics of our family going back since cameras were invented. I'd like copies of these photos for myself and my family. Someone suggested I burn them to a cd. Does anyone have a good suggestion for software for this?? I'd go around $50 but if there is a really good one that is more, I'd pay it.

I would like one that you can put captions on the pictures so I can put the names of who they are when I look through them on my cd (for future reference). I already have a cd burner on my computer, but need good software for this job, I think.

Also, I want to compile some geneaology info. about my family and would like to get the software for that. Does anyone know if there is a good program that has scrapbook capabilities like what I've described above? Thank you.

That is FREE. Also, there is photoshop elements, which is great but it does cost $$$$.

I have only seen the results of these programs as I am not particularly adept at using them.

One thing, though, to burn them on cd means a WHOLE lot of work. They need to be converted to digital. That means scanning all of them, or taking digital pictures of them. This is very time consuming, and potentially very expensive.

Good luck with your endeavor, and best wishes for your grandma.

Photoshop Elements is an excellent program. It is more than $50 but under $100, so really not all that pricey considering the quality of the program.

I'm a photoshop fan. I do everything in photoshop. I've edited pics for free that would have cost alot. we have easily gotten our money's worth with it. (you can get it really cheap on ebay)
