Using the FotoShow ™ 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.
Starting Your FotoShow ™ 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,
