Album Shaper 2.1

Album Shaper is a graphical application used to create, maintain, and share photo albums using open formats like HTML, XSLT, and JPG.
Two-layer albums can be created in a drag-n-drop interface which allows quick and easy arrangement and catagorization of photos. Batch rotations make getting your photos ready a quick and easy task.
You can also crop, enhance, and manipulate your photos using a powerful but intuitive editing interface. Photos, collections, and albums themselves can be labeled as needed and modified at a later time by saving and loading from a simple XML format.
Albums are exported as HTML which can then be posted directly on the web or viewed straight from your hard drive.
While mainly a bugfix release, Album Shaper 2.1 adds complete French and German translations, a new Radiant theme, and a new Mosaic image manipulation.
The compilation and installation process for Linux/FreeBSD users has also seen significant
