Version 19.3 of jAlbum has been released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a clean interface, photos can be easily adjusted, the order can be changed and the appearance of the web page can be determined. If everything is to your liking, the result can be placed on a web page via the built-in ftp client.
Because the software is developed in Java, jAlbum is available for a wide range of operating systems. The Windows version has issues with some versions of java and therefore the download is bundled with java resulting in a larger download. A standard license for version 19 currently costs 49 euros. Other licenses, for commercial use or in conjunction with cloud storage, are also available available. Since version 19.0, the following changes and improvements have also been made:
