I am an intermediate optical photographer and want to output attractive paper "albums" of photos on various subjects from Kodak Picture CDs. What programs work best for preparing the final document? Is Microsoft Word or Powerpoint suitable? Are there dedicated programs available? Are their on-line services that print and bind such documents? Also, is the Kodak software on the disk suitable for intermediate level image enhancement?
