PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0
The latest version of PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 software has quick start-up and fast read-in of images, making it easier than ever to sort and organise photos. The Face Recognition function that recognises faces in pictures, automatically sorts the photos by the registered faces without picking out each photo one by one when you only want pictures of a specific person.  You can also enjoy slideshows with a variety of effects and use your iTunes music library as background music. Motion pictures can be uploaded directly to YouTube using the built-in YouTube uploader even in HD (High Definition)quality. The new PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 also lets you create a 360-degree rotation panorama file in MOV. The software is of course compatible with the Windows 7.
