3 out of 5 stars The potential to be great   September 22, 2008
HenryH (Maryland, USA)
ACD Systems FotoSlate 4 has the potential to be a really great piece of software. Unfortunately it falls short for my use. Perhaps if you want a single document with different layouts for each page and are going to do a lot of adjustments by hand then this will be just the thing for you. What I was hoping for was the ability to take a large number of images and put them on multiple pages, either 6 or 12 per page, with the images scaled and rotated properly and with the file name as the caption. It looks like the software is supposed to do that but it doesn't. There is an option to "auto-rotate images" but it either rotates all images (even those that didn't need to be rotated) or it doesn't rotate any. So, all images are printed in either vertical or horizontal orientation, rather than the appropriate orientation for the individual images. It is possible to manually rotate those images that are wrong but it's impossible to select multiple images so you have to do it one image at a time. That's quite time consuming when you have hundreds or thousands of images to rotate.

Although the ACD Systems web site has user forums and there is a link to submit technical questions, they seem to be either broken or simply abandoned and not actually in use. There are recent posts in the forums for other products but not for Fotoslate. Once registered you'd think I could post to the forum but that feature seems to be broken.

It's too bad, really. I wanted to like this package and it is quite close to being just what I need. But for me, it's mostly useless.
