Digital Photo Navigator FACILITY (Windows®)

Create a virtual album

If you have a lot of image files with similar names, it can be hard to remember which file contains which
image.
You can use this software to display these images on your PC just as if you had pasted them in a photo album.
Because you can scan through these images just as if you were flipping through a photo album, you can
quickly find a specific image that you want to send through e-mail, for example.

Can I distribute copies of albums?

You can save albums in web page format. When the album is saved in this format, anyone with a browser can
view the album on any type of PC. Because the album is already in web page format, you can also exhibit
your photos on the Internet.
Under copyright law, it is illegal to distribute copyrighted images without the permission of the copyright
holder. Make sure that you have permission to distribute such images before actually doing so.

Send your favorite images by e-mail

Everyone has video cassettes containing videos and snapshots that they never get to show to anyone.
No matter how wonderful, the only people that got to see them were families and guests, because there was
no convenient way to show them except in your own home on the TV. Friends and relatives who live far away
had no way of viewing them. And you don’t want to give those video cassettes away because they hold
treasured memories.
Now you can solve all of these problems with a PC. By using a PC connection cable to connect a camcorder
to a PC, you can capture image from the camcorder to the PC. You can then send the files to anyone as an e­mail attachment.

Capture still images

Video images from a camcorder can be captured as still images.
You can capture still images from a recorded tape.
