Guide Review - Fotoware FotoStation
In addition to browsing and viewing, FotoStation offers impressive image editing capabilities, but its real strength lies in its powerful text annotation abilities. You can add text annotations including title, date, caption, keywords, description, credit, special instructions, categories, location, and more. Text information can be added to individual images or batch copied to a series of images and is accessible from within Photoshop. The image editor provides basic to advanced darkroom editing functions such as set white/black points, adjust color and tone, dodge and burn, clone, sharpen, contrast, and noise removal. Another nice feature is the ability to export slide shows as a QuickTime movie. HTML and printing features are satisfactory.
Fotostation is an excellent choice, especially if you need to store a lot of text information with your images.
