Thumbs purpose is to make it incredibly simple and easy to share your digital photos with friends and family on a CD with out them needing ANY special software to view the images. You tell Thumbs the folder in which your digital photos are. Thumbs then creates thumbnails and html pages for all your images and they are linked so it is easy to go through all of them. Also included are 'mid-size' pages so that for example your friends that are running 800x600 monitors can view your 1600x1200 images without having to scroll all over the place. Thumbs is also a great way to prepare your images for archiving since then you can pop your archive CD in ANY machine with a browser (Mac, PC, Unix, etc.) and view your images with ease.
