What does the Photo Book and Photo DVD software do?
The software is a Web Browser plug-in that provides easy drag-and-drop Photo Book editing features, along with elegant page layouts and graphic effects that you won't find anywhere else. It also performs instant real-time preview of your DVD movies with smooth pans, zooms, and dissolves, along with your titles and music. In addition, the plug-in provides a powerful set of integrated photo editing tools, and it also automatically handles all file uploads when you order your Photo DVD or Photo Book.

Will installing this change how files open?
No. The software only runs within the web browser - it does not make any changes to the file associations that determine which programs will load which types of files.

Are Active-X Plug-Ins dangerous to install?
No more or less than installing any other software on a computer. Most web browsers are already very likely using several Plug-Ins, such as to view Flash animations or play video on webpages.

ActiveX Plug-Ins can be digitally "signed" to verify that they were not tampered with since they were released. ActiveX Plug-Ins can also be easily un-installed (see the next item).

The Photo DVD and Photo Book software doesn't gather any information about the user except what is necessary for its operation. It our policy not to distribute any customer information to third parties. We recommend that users read the Privacy Policy of any software product or service before they use it.
