Simple, Fast, Fun	Multiple Templates	Fully Customizable
"The best there is! Simple, fast, highly customizable must-have app. Image rodeo creates photo albums with your own or included templates. It batch resizes and rotates images which is worth the price alone. I've been using this for 2 years and have yet to see a photo-album building app as powerful and as simple as Image Rodeo. Rah! "I really, really LOVE this program.* I've tried all similar programs I could find on VT.... this is it! It looks like an iApp from Apple. Very nice and smooth. Works like a charm."* "Best program I've registered for OS X. I have several hundred pictures over several albums that need different website templates. I've been able to customize the templates to do exactly what I need them to do for a highly personalized look. Worth every penny." "Fantastic Product: well worth $30. I spent hours looking for PC software for my brother that does the same thing as easily, and I found NOTHING. This is the perfect example of why Macs are superior to PCs." (4.4) - Reviewers, VersionTracker "Image Rodeo comes with five well-designed templates for creating hierchical sites to show off your pictures, and the app's drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create a site with 10 or 100 pictures in just a few minutes." - Rick LePage, MacWorld, July 2002 "There are quite a few applications designed for turning image collections into web sites, but Image Rodeo is far and away the best." - Scot Hacker, author of The BeOS Bible

Image Rodeo is a template-based web photo album creator for Macintosh OS X. Image Rodeo provides two simple and powerful mechanisms for building the best and most unique web sites:

You can choose from a set of canned templates with unique designs. You have full control over thumbnail and photo size; you can add captions and titles; and you can rotate your photos. Most templates support printing through Shutterfly (optional).
HTML coders can design their own templates using XML and Image Rodeo’s built-in scripting language, IRScript. IRScript is loosely based on JavaScript, and provides access to all of Image Rodeo’s internal photo and html properties. Full source code for all of the built-in templates is provided to kick start the process, and full documentation is provided online.

Image Rodeo was designed to handle thousands of photos. It doesn’t copy your archive when you import; it supports a page hierarchy much like Finder folders; and it's fast. And last, but not least: Image Rodeo was built exclusively for Macintosh OS X, so it supports unlimited undo, spell checking in every edit box, and AppleScript.

Image Rodeo is free as of 6/25/2005. There are no locked features or time restrictions. There's also no warranty or support. :-) You may create as many web sites as you'd like. A registration screen will appear after 4 launches; enter freeware for the name and 4Q7H5K for the password.
