Using Photo Albums
Using Photo Albums
After you scan and save your picture, you should put it
in an album.
PhotoPlus albums store and display your images, just
like the photo albums you use for your printed
snapshots. You can organize your pictures by subject
matter or date, or in any way you want. Albums let you
view miniature “thumbnail” versions of your images,
along with image information.
