Step1: Choose Template

1. Launch Sothink SWF Easy.

4. In the above window, choose the album type of “Normal” and click “Next”. Now the “Album Wizard” window is changed to following screen:

Tips: There are two types of templates: Embedded Photo and External Photo.

Embedded Photo:

When you choose this type of template, all of the photos will be stored in the *.swf file. It is convenient for you to view the album on local computer or sending it to others for sharing. The only disadvantage is that the file size is comparatively larger.

External Photo:

When you choose this type of template, all of the photos and the *.swf file are stored as separate files. Therefore, the file size of the *.swf file is smaller than the embedded template. If you want to publish the album on web, we suggest you to choose this type.

Here we choose to create “External Photo” type. Tick the check box “External Photo” and all the album templates of this type will be displayed. Then, choose template “Number”  and click button “Next”.
