Fly Album

Fly Album is a simple-to-use software application that allows you to put together digital photo albums and screensavers with background music from common image files. It offers support for .bmp, .jpeg, .gif, .emf, .wmf and .png extensions.

Simple setup and UI

After a rapid setup operation that shouldn't impose any difficulties, you are welcomed by a large frame split into several panes with a neatly organized structure.
You can use a built-in Explorer-based folder structure to navigate directories and locate images, or add the photos separately from file. These can be previewed it the main window and moved to the project pane using the drag-and-drop support.

Apply slideshow transitions, effects and music

Fly Album puts a long list of transitions at your disposal, so you can select the ones you want to include in your project, as well as indicate the slide duration. What's more, you can apply a few animation effects, like blur, alpha, flip, invert or grayscale.
The software program also lets you add comments, attach background music using .mp3, .mid, .wav, .ram or .rm files, undo and redo actions, take file masks into account when importing the image contents of an entire directory, or edit album properties when it comes to the title, starting image, language and slideshow duration.
The project can be saved to file and later resumed. Once everything is ready, you can create a digital album with the .epa format and save it anywhere on the disk, publish it online, or create a screensaver.

Evaluation and conclusion

Everything worked smoothly in our tests, and Fly Album didn't hang, crash or display error messages. It created albums and screensavers swiftly while remaining light on system resources consumption. On the other hand, the program hasn't been updated for a very long time, and the price of the overall package seems too much. Nevertheless, you can make that decision by testing Fly Album for yourself.
