FotoFusion::ScrapBook Essentials
FotoFusion::ScrapBook Essentials is a fast tool that lets you assemble your own greeting card - pulling images, text and graphical embellishments together into a single layout that you can share by email, print on your desktop printer, or publish to a web page. It lets you arrange your archive images into a family tree -- creating a unique document to share with your family. You can also use it to chronicle the lives of family members, adding graphical elements to the pages to complete the effect.
More complex products are also available from the same vendor: FotoFusion::Enhanced (an advanced image layout environment designed for experienced scrapbookers and photography enthusiasts); and LumaPix::FotoFusion Extreme (a powerful image layout environment intended for professional photographers).
Comment
If you are a keen scrapbooker, FotoFusion::ScrapBook Essentials is definitely a product to examine seriously. It is a true scrapbooking tool that has become the focus of an industry consortium called the dotScrap Alliance (www.dotScrap.com). This imaginative business venture ties in physical scrapbooking tools and materials with digital creation, under the banner "All the Fun, None of the fuss."
Participating companies in the dotScrap Alliance, besides Lumapix, are SEI, Daisy D's, K & Company, L'il Davis, KI Memories, Scrapbook.com, Scrapjazz.com, Westrim, Autumn Leaves, DMD, and CliqueTV. None of this would have been possible if FotoFusion was not a first-rate tool, able to produce original and satisfying layouts with great ease of use.
