Phota provides useful tools for archiving and annotating your image collections into photo albums. Images can be added very quickly with a Mass Load option. A handy Photo Index feature allows you to scan through all of the photos in an album and choose items to display thumbnail or full-screen images, display photo descriptive information or skip to a selected page. Photo Search can be used to find all photos containing a particular string of text within their descriptions. Album pages or individual photos can be viewed as a slide show, with various options.

A screensaver version of Phota is also included. A sample album, with a small collection of images, is included to illustrate some the page layout and display features of Phota.
