It seems that most of the time on my quest to find­ing excel­lent appli­ca­tions, my jour­ney to a prod­uct hap­pens upon chance. Case in point; while skim­ming through Nick Bradbury’s blog I found a track­back com­ment to an arti­cle deal­ing with soft­ware piracy.

The track­back com­ment described how one soft­ware devel­op­ment team had to uti­lize prod­uct activ­i­ta­tion to thwart the ongo­ing dillema of soft­ware piracy. That team was the guys at Con­stant Time and their prod­uct was the won­der­fully pol­ished appli­ca­tion Elec­tric Shoe­box.

Con­stant Time describes E-Shoebox as the “eas­i­est way to share your pho­tos online. Share pho­tos with friends right from your PC and broad­band con­nec­tion. You don’t need to deal with upload­ing pho­tos to online ser­vices, like Ofoto, with size lim­its and slow upload times or strug­gle with send­ing emails with large attachments…”

One of the best aspects of the soft­ware is the built-in image edit­ing capa­bil­i­ties. Within a few moments after import­ing my pic­tures into the soft­ware I noticed a few of my pho­tos (due to the lack of using the flash) were either too dark or for that mat­ter, too light. The process of tweak­ing pho­tos is sim­ple. You just adjust the bright­ness and con­strast slid­ers until you’re happy with the results.

Elec­tric Shoe­box is hands down a solid and pol­ished piece of soft­ware that already shows great potential.
