Software
The FotoShow
™
software is divided into three easy-to-use sections: the Album Gallery, the
Editing Room, and the Slideshow Organizer. Each of these “rooms” has a unique set of
tools to help you organize, enhance, and view your photos. These icon-based toolbars
are intuitive to use, and this manual will explain the special features of each.

Digital Image Center for the First Time
Setting the System Clock
When you start your FotoShow

Image Center, it runs a quick check to make sure the
system is working with a valid time and date. If the system can’t find this information,
