<p><strong>User interface: “Intimidating” not in its vocabulary</strong></p>

<hr style="height: 1px; width: 100%;" size="1" />

<p>Kodak Gallery is really easy to explore, which makes it great for beginners. It has an online and downloadable version, which both have a very easy to use and neat interface.</p>

<p><a href="http://digital-photo-printing-review.toptenreviews.com/kodak-easyshare-gallery-review.html">TopTenReviews</a> loves Kodak Gallery’s interface:  “Online digital photo developer Kodak Gallery has one of the most organized and easy-to-use sites we've seen; uploading pictures and ordering prints is almost a pleasure. Any computer user should be able to walk through this process without problems.” </p>


<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>Ease of use: Retrieve your photos without stress! </strong></p>

<hr size="1" />

<p>Photos uploaded to the Kodak Gallery can be labeled with captions, tags, and ratings. With these labels, you can quickly find and retrieve your photos when you need them in an instant using the software’s search field.</p>

<p>With the downloadable version, all the major tools are found on the left side--photo storage, print option, email link, order print online button, creative projects tool, and easy share center link, making it easy to switch between tasks. </p>



<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>Editing and Printing performance: Basic editing plus fun effects, mediocre prints</strong></p>

<hr style="height: 1px; width: 100%;" size="1" />

<p>Aside from the basic editing tools such as cropping, rotating, red-eye removal, add text, and scene/color balance, Kodak Gallery also has scene effects, facial retouch, and some fun effects like cartoon, fisheye, and spotlight you might find enjoyable to use.</p>

<p>The editing window is spacious and neat, with the tools gracefully lined up at the top while instructions and other editing controls appear on the left side as a tool is selected.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/1280389/kodak-gallery">ExpertReviews</a> shares their experience using Kodak Gallery: “Both the Gallery Upload Software and the web-based upload utility allowed us to preview even large TIFF files, as well as JPEG images. Once you've completed your upload using the Windows utility, the program will open a browser window to your online gallery, where you can create slideshows, share photos and buy prints.”</p>

<p>With Kodak Gallery, you can do more than just cropping or enhancing your photo's colors. You can be more creative in storing your photos with its wide selection of free design templates such as greeting cards, album page, slimeline cards, photo books, photo calendars, and scrapbooks. However, this feature begins as a 15-day trial which requires full purchase after expiration.</p>

<p>Kodak Gallery also allows users to order prints for their photos. Generally, the quality is decent enough for photos intended for personal use. However, it is not impressive enough to be recommended for advanced users who wish to sell their printed photos as art. As <a href="http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/software/1280389/kodak-gallery">ExpertReviews</a> said, “You probably won't want to choose Kodak Gallery for your art prints, but the photos we received are perfectly good snapshots for album or home display.“</p>


<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>Sharing: One-click sharing and uploading</strong></p>

<hr style="height: 1px; width: 100%;" size="1" />

<p>Like most photo managing applications, the downloadable version of KODAK GALLERY also has quick links to Youtube, Facebook, and Flickr. You can also send an email directly from the software which provides and option to optimize your photo attachments.</p>

<p>A plus point to Kodak Gallery’s online account is the events album. This allows you to invite your friends/family to upload photos to your album and every time a photo is added, you will be notified via email. It’s like showing photo albums to each other, only this time, you do it online.</p>


<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>Special tools of the trade: Unlimited storage, customer support, great online community</strong></p>

<hr style="height: 1px; width: 100%;" size="1" />

<p>Probably the best feature of KODAK GALLERY is its free downloadable photo organizing software which is linked to your online account. This means, you can manage/edit your digital photos without connecting to the Internet. </p>

<p>This software is available for Windows and MAC.</p>


<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p><strong>The Verdict (Extended version)</strong></p>

<hr style="height: 1px; width: 100%;" size="1" />

<p>These days, most people don’t just store photos for their own or their family’s viewing. We share them online, and sometimes with the rest of the world. Kodak Gallery’s photo organizing application is a great alternative to storing photos on a hard drive, and by simply connecting to the Internet, you can upload and share all these photos to Facebook or Flickr with just a few clicks! </p>

<p>Print quality is decent and passable enough for everyday use. But if you are looking for a service which can give you perfect quality prints, you may be better off printing elsewhere.
