With a good set of editing tools, and a straightforward process, the free JAlbum makes for a great way of creating photo albums to share with your friends. Once you're album is done, you can either upload it to your JAlbum account, if you have one, or to any other server if you have the login details. You can also download more skins from the developer's website. This is very easy to do and JAlbum comes with a number of styles to start out with.
