Kodak Easyshare is software to organize, view and edit your photos - whether or not you have a Kodak camera.

Kodak Easyshare includes pretty much all the tools you would expect from a photo manager, such as being able to organize photos in albums, adding tags, retouching images that need a bit of optimization and sharing them. You can choose between burning them to a CD or DVD, emailing them, uploading them to the Kodak Gallery and publishing them on Flickr or Facebook.

While Kodak Easyshare seems quite good at photo sharing, we found it a bit limited as photo manager. The range of tools is fine, but not spectacular and definitely not better than other similar apps. The program's interface design doesn't help either: it's confusing and even a bit messy. The app also seemed to take up an inordinate amount of memory, and as a result could be a sluggish and buggy.

You can use Kodak Easyshare without actually having a Kodak account, however you'll find many places in the application where it encourages you to do so. Not having a Kodak Easyshare account will in any case limit your use of the application, as you won't be able to order printed copies of your photos or create projects.

Kodak Easyshare is a digital photo organizer that includes a bunch of tools to manage and edit photos. It might be worth a look if you've already got a Kodak account, but in the rest of cases, we'd advise you to look elsewhere.
