Picture Perfect -- Creating Memories to Last a Lifetime 
(ARA) - No doubt about it -- technology and digital cameras are rapidly
changing the way we save and share photos and memories. Chances are, if
you don't already own a digital camera, you probably know someone who
does. Or you may have considered purchasing a camera to capture the magic
of graduations, family reunions, weddings and holidays.
The best thing about digital cameras is that they provide instant gratification.
You can take a photo and look at it immediately. However, what do you
do when you want to organize your photos, do some basic photo editing,
or share the photos with family and friends?
To assist you in accomplishing these basic photo tasks, and to help
you get from photo snapping to photo sharing fast, you'll want software
that gives you the freedom to organize, enhance and share your photos
in creative ways. One such versatile and easy-to-use program is Jasc After
Shot. Its user-friendly interface allows you to get up and running very
quickly. You are able to download photos automatically to your computer
with just a click of a mouse.
Next, you'll want to get organized. The easiest way to do this is to
use a simple keyword checklist system within After Shot that helps you
organize and find photos fast. Group photos by event, holiday or subject,
such as "Dad -- Jane's Wedding," and use the keywords to call up the photos
when you want them.
You might also want to do some photo editing. For example, if you are
charged with acting as official photographer during your family vacation,
you can:
* Use the "QuickFix" option to automatically color correct an under-
or over-lit photo of Grandma and Grandpa.
* Remove Uncle John's red eye with the red eye removal tool.
* Stitch multiple photos flawlessly with the panoramic stitching tool
-- creating a perfect view of the Grand Canyon without a panoramic camera.
Now comes the fun part -- sharing your photos with family and friends.
It's a snap to post photos online or to print your favorite photos using
preset templates of 3x5s, 4x6s, 5x7s, combo packs and more. You can even
create a slideshow or print photos to include in a collage or scrapbook.
Adding an audio annotation will also help bring your photos to life.
In a few simple steps, your digital camera and the right software help
you capture special photos and turn them into memories that you can save
and share. All of your photos can truly be picture-perfect.
