Easily Create a Flash Photo Album for Free

Churches have members. Members have events. Events have pictures. Have you been looking for an easy way to upload and display multiple images in an attractive way? Tired of dealing with thumbnail makers and poor photo album layouts?

Try AutoViewer.

AutoViewer creates a Flash based image gallery that’s attractive, both for its price (free) and for its output. Here’s an example I created for a friend in less than three minutes.

I highly recommend downloading Picasa, a photo organization tool (also free), that AutoViewer nicely integrates with. Picasa itself is an incredile program and worth putting time into learning.

Fortunately, I don’t have to write a tutorial on how to use AutoViewer with Picasa. The nice folks who created AutoViewer have already done so.

The only drawback to this program is that it is Flash based, meaning that the pictures are not downloadable. Some of you may like that; some may not, but the ease of use and quick results make this an essential program for my photo album needs.
