There's a program for Windoze called FlipAlbum that allows you to burn photos to a CD and view them as if you were looking at an old-fashioned photo album. There's room for captions, and when you click on the corner of a page, it flips over and you get a new page. You can pick from a variety of album styles. It's an extremely nice way to share photos with family and friends who are not computer savvy, and it's more versatile than a preprogrammed "slide show". In fact, it's the CD equivalent of the physical photo albums that Apple offers from iPhoto. Why Apple didn't make it possible to accomplish the same thing on a CD baffles me.

So, I'm wondering if anyone knows a simple, direct way of doing the same thing on a Mac so I can avoid spending $250+ for FlipAlbum and VirtualPC. I would want the CDs to work on PCs as well as Macs.

Anyone?

not good reviews, but sounds like the same description.

I usually make slide shows to share, but do wish the slide show apps would have fields for captions.

Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't look nearly as elegant as FlipAlbum and doesn't really create a virtual flipalbum on CD - it just tells you to create HTMLs and burn them to a CD, which isn't the same thing. It's really just designed to create flipalbums on your own hard drive or on a web page, which doesn't help me.

Thanks for the tip, though.
