VSO PhotoDVD Interface

VSO PhotoDVD 3 has a very similar interface to the previous version of the software. In fact, it is almost exactly the same except for a few additions. Briefly, the main interface consists mainly of a photo list on the left and several items such as a preview window and buttons on the right. The program's interface is a step-by-step process once you have added your pictures and changed some settings on the main window. These steps we will walk through on the next page.
