Thumb Studio

Arclab Thumb Studio comes with a number of templates for building web albums and slideshows and also offers batch processing for image resizing and watermarking.

The software possesses a user-friendly tabbed interface that leads users through a step-by-step process to build web albums.

Despite the simplicity of operation, which is definitely the program's strong point, we cannot but mention several drawbacks, which prevent the software from surpassing its rivals. To begin with, the interface is overloaded with options that don't add much value to the program. To add to that, the templates offered by the developers are too simple to compete against many original templates available in other programs of the kind. Finally, there is much inconsistency in the numeration of pages in the program's manual; one doesn't speak of the fact that Arclab Thumb Studio is a shareware product.

Overall, the application can provide enough features and convenience for unsophisticated users but is very unlikely to be picked by pros, who are well familiarized with the software market.
