Adobe has developed Photoshop Album, a next-generation photo application that enables consumers to organize, fix, share, and preserve their digital photos. Previous solutions have been too complex for many consumers to accept, and a radical change in approach was needed to both simplify the user's experience and deliver more capability. This talk will describe the new paradigms used in this program and explore several of the challenging design issues, especially with regard to achieving consumer ease-of-use.
