Triscape Introduces FxFoto Creative Edition for Digital Scrapbooking

Windham, NH, January 10, 2006 – Triscape, Inc. has released a new edition of its popular FxFoto photography software for the digital scrapbooking market.  FxFoto Creative Edition provides a unique blend of photo organization, editing and layout capabilities with all the tools needed for creating beautiful scrapbook pages digitally.  It is designed to be easy to use while providing advanced creativity tools. 

Digital scrapbooking is an exciting new segment of the $2.5 billion scrapbooking market, feeding on the rapidly growing demand for digital cameras.  Scrapbooking is the third most popular craft in the US and digital scrapbooking provides easy and cost effective means for creating, archiving and duplicating stunning layouts without paper, scissors or paste.  A large number of talented digital designers supply beautiful and often photo-realistic digital scrapbooking kits with background images and embellishments that replace the paper elements used in traditional scrapbooking.  FxFoto Creative comes with a selection of ten digital kits and hundreds of backgrounds from top designers.  It supports virtually all digital scrapbooking kits from third parties.  FxFoto Creative allows scrapbooking retailers to tap this emerging market of new digital scrapbookers and increase sales to customers who need photo editing or want to experiment with digital techniques.

FxFoto Creative supports a wide variety of image and text effects in a single easy-to-use application.  Partial transparency allows translucent photos and embellishments that can be rotated to any angle.  In addition to rectangular and oval cropping, it provides a Cutters Library of special crop patterns such as butterfly and tag shapes.  Crops can be feathered to blend into the background.  Adjustable drop shadows can be applied to non-transparent portions of any photo or element.  Curved, wavy, rounded corner, circular and even dialog balloon text can be added for impressive journaling effects.  Over fifty advanced filter effects such as oil painting, distress and spot glow add artistic flair to photos or layout elements.  Other advanced photo editing tools include auto-improve, spot improve, blemish removal, plus clone and color brushes.  FxFoto Creative allows for flexible free-form layouts without the complexity of layer-oriented applications.  Users can also choose from a number of drag-and-drop theme templates to quickly generate scrapbook pages.

Unlike most photo editing software, FxFoto integrates an easy visual organizer for photographs and graphic elements.  Users can scroll through all of their photos and scrapbooking kits in a single animated pane and then click or drag selected images into layouts.

FxFoto Creative Edition runs with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and is available for $49.95 from selected retailers and the Triscape web site at http://www.fxfoto.com.
