Picture Organizer

Picture Organizer, developed by Accessory Software, is the latest version (8.012) of a highly versatile photo and multimedia management tool for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Users might also recognize it by its alias, "The Picture Organizer." The program falls under the Photo & Graphics category, specifically the Viewers & Editors subcategory. With a history that includes other versions like 7.7, 7.6, and 7.5, this software aims to cater to all your organizational needs for images and multimedia files.

Download and installation of the program are straightforward, with the executable files named PictFile.exe, and PictOrgn.exe. Picture Organizer offers a range of robust features to Find, Organize, Display, Edit, Print, and E-Mail Images and Pictures. Additionally, the software supports multimedia management, allowing users to find, play, and organize audio and video files, including MP3s.

A remarkable feature of Picture Organizer is its Slide Show function, which includes hundreds of transitional effects and supports background music in WAVE, MIDI, or MP3 formats. The editing tools are also highly advanced; users can cut and paste sections of one picture into another, add multiple text elements using various fonts and colors, and insert shapes in millions of colors. These features are particularly useful for creating custom greeting cards, which can then be emailed directly through the program.

Photo Albums in Picture Organizer can hold pictures, documents, and multimedia files without altering the files' locations on the disk. This is facilitated by the creation of Picture Packages that can be sent and received via email. These packages can include detailed descriptions and comments, which are easily integrated into another Photo Album upon receipt.

Complete viewing and reporting capabilities are provided for Photo Albums and Picture Packages. The integration of the Windows Media Player Component allows for seamless playback of audio and video files, including MP3s—truly making this software a free multimedia powerhouse. Folders and files of various types and categories can be quickly accessed with a single click, thanks to its efficient Device/Folder/File Explorer and search functionalities.

Found pictures can be added effortlessly to the current Photo Album or Picture Package, with simple double-click navigation or menu-based file opening options for network files. The data can also be exported to various media, such as diskettes, RW CD-ROMs, Zip, or Jazz Disks, and imported into Picture Organizer on another computer without losing any associated comments or information.

Additional features include the ability to capture AVI and WMV video clips into JPG still shots and save pictures in a database. Albums can also be shared over a LAN, making Picture Organizer a comprehensive tool for both personal and professional use.
