Corel has launched a new software product called Snapfire. Snapfire is great software for the digital photography enthusiast. Snapfire is simple to use and gives you the ability to share your digital photos with friends and family. With this cool software you can easily organize digital photos, create slide shows, and send digital photos by email.Â
Snapfire makes organizing your digital photos a snap. This software will let you view pictures as a full screen slide show as soon as they are downloaded from your digital camera. You are also given the tools to help you locate those photos by rating photos, adding captions, and adding tags so you can always find them. When you want to locate your digital photos later, just type the file name or keyword into a search box and Snapfire will find the photo you are looking for.
It’s a snap to enhance your photos with just a few clicks. Snapfire will crop photos to a 4×6. The Photo Doctor in Snapfire will let you know when a photo can be improved by clicking Quick Fix. Adjust the color, brightness, and contrast and also turn your digital pictures into Black & White or Sepia photographs.
In addition, Snapfire comes with templates to make scrapbook pages, cards, collages, and calendars. So are you ready to get your creative juices flowing. Download the free version of Snapfire by visiting their website at http://www.snapfire.com/.

Looking for free software to assist in managing your Digital Photos. Check out Google’s Picasa. Here’s what google says about it.Â
Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.
Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures – you can email, print photos home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello™, and even post pictures on your own blog. (http://picasa.google.com/)

For those of you interested in Desktop Publishing check out Scribus. Scribus is Open Source Desktop Publishing for Linux, Mac OS® X and Windows®. I’ve used it a bit and have been happy with the results (I’ve only used it on my home printer).  Â

Skype (http://www.skype.com/) is a really cool service I recently installed on my computer. With Skype you can call anyone in the world that also has Skype installed on the computer. The sound quality is good - of course you would want a broadband connection to use it.Â
Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers.
What if your friend doesn’t have a computer. For a very low rate you can call from your computer to any regular phone number. Skype calls this Skypeout. For a complete list of rates visit http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/all_rates.html.
