Serif Press Release

Great value product contains Serif’s award-winning digital image-editor and brand new AlbumPlus 4

Serif (Europe) Ltd – the UK’s leading independent desktop publishing, design and graphics software developer – today announced the launch of PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack, a powerful combination of software designed to help PC users get the most from their digital images.

PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack (List Price £59.99; upgrade prices available*) is Serif’s new digital image-editing powerhouse, including:

PhotoPlus 10 – landmark tenth version of Serif’s award-winning digital image-editor.
AlbumPlus 4 – brand new digital photo album software.
Designed to work seamlessly together, PhotoPlus 10 and AlbumPlus 4 provide all the tools anyone could need for enhancing their digital images, combined with the ability to easily store, backup, catalogue, search and share collections of images.

PhotoPlus 10 introduces more image-editing power than ever before, including 200 Macro presets that enables users to achieve a series of tasks with a single click. It’s also easy to record customised Macros – combine these with PhotoPlus 10’s brand new Batch Processing functionality and the possibilities are endless!

A fantastic selection of new tools provides more efficient image enhancement than ever. Shadow/Highlight/Midtone Adjustments is a powerful photo restoration feature that takes the complexity out of correcting under and over-exposed photos. Red-eye can be remedied in just one click with PhotoPlus 10’s remarkably quick, easy and effective Fix Red-eye tool. A new context sensitive toolbar ensures that all the functions of a selected tool are on-hand at all times. The new Filter Gallery preview window enables users to easily combine effects and experiment with different styles and settings, before committing to the end result. Layer Groups have been introduced and are now complemented by the ability to edit the Red, Green and Blue channels independently – perfect for fine-tuning photos. Combining all these powerful new tools with PhotoPlus 10’s revamped interface, users can now enjoy a more flexible way of working with their images.

PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack also includes AlbumPlus 4 to satisfy everyone’s image management needs. Building an album is easy, with facilities for importing directly from hard disk, CD, DVD, digital cameras, scanners and flash drives. AlbumPlus 4’s comprehensive cataloguing system allows users to create as many categories and sub categories as they wish and assign images to these with simple drag-and-drop, creating searchable tags. AlbumPlus 4’s flexible search options also include Smart Tags, which allow for searching by file type and size, user comments and even a particular import session. Plus, AlbumPlus 4’s Calendar View provides a simple visual way to record when photos were taken and even doubles up as an electronic diary. 

AlbumPlus 4’s fully customisable interface provides a flexible thumbnail display – even offering live preview of video files – and users can easily display essential information, such as Comments, EXIF information, assigned tags and even histograms. 

An impressive range of built-in photo-editing tools and the ability to launch PhotoPlus 10 from within AlbumPlus 4, gives users all the flexibility and advanced image-editing tools they need at the click of the mouse. And it’s easy to undo unwanted edits as AlbumPlus 4 retains an original copy of every image. Once the edited images look exactly as required, AlbumPlus 4 makes it easy to share them with others via its customisable slideshows, simple email options and flexible print layout templates.

Offering a truly impressive amount of functionality for an exceptional price, PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack is the complete digital-imaging solution for PC users.

“PhotoPlus 10 Studio Pack has a massive amount of digital-imaging power and we have, as always, succeeded in keeping it extremely user-friendly and affordable for all,” said Gary Bates, Serif’s Managing Director. “This package guides digital photographers through the whole process of importing photos, tweaking images to get them looking exactly right and finally, making sure they remain completely accessible to enjoy in the future.”
