  • June 25, 2002 Review by Bob Schwabach, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
    Flip Album and 3D-Album are two new programs for the display and organization of digital photos. With 3D-Album you can create slide shows with musical backgrounds. The effects are great...This is a very nice program and really easy: drag and drop photos into any order you want, pick the time delay for the rotating cubes or whatever you use, and add music. Done. .. FlipAlbum comes in two versions, regular and professional... I worked with the professional version here, which was easy to use and produced charming display effects, but I was left the feeling of "why bother?" You can do much the same things with 3D-Album, which is $110 cheaper and supports eight major European and Asian languages.
