Transfer digital data between departments

Say there is a fatal accident on one of your local roadways and the Department of Transportation wants to take a look at digial images taken at the scene. To transfer this data, I use a great open source product called Album Shaper to create a highly professional Web-based photo gallery.

Remember, not everyone is technology savvy — people might have trouble pulling up standard digital images. Album Shaper easily burns the entire Web page onto a CD ROM, so the person on the receiving end doesn’t need any kind of sophisticated image editing software to view them. All they need is a web browser. Plus, you can change the way the web page looks — add your logo, add comments to the pictures, and put them in a “narrative chronology” — very simple, and very professional.
