Hi All

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this or not....

Besides uploading to Smugmug for my photos, I like (and my wife likes) to have a photo album in hand.

I'm looking for some good software that makes this easy.

For instance resizing and rotating prints, changing backgrounds and themes, adding text and captions.

Then being able to save and print these multiple images on one sheet.

Any ideas???

Thanks
Phil Lanz

    THe software is called FotoFusion. I've used it quite a bit, and it is pretty powerfulw hat you can do with it.

    You can also use your photos directly from your SmugMug account thumb.gif

    Which version are you using that your happy with? They seem to have three, but I think the extreme is out of my range.

    Are you wanting to print albums or wanting to design albums to be stored on disk(s)...........
    I use a software called FLIP ALBUM PRO ...........unfortunately Smugmug doesn't support it.....it would be fantastic if they did..........

    I'm really looking for something that to put print albums together with.

    I'm exploring the FotoFusion that was recommended, but unless I'm mistaken it seems that only the most expensive version has the ability to handle multiple pages.

    How does anyone build an album if you can only store one page at a time??

    Or am I wrong about this feature

    If you don't mind me asking. If you can only produce one page at a time, how do you organize to build an album of pages for a particular shoot.

    Thanks

    I actually use it more for home projects where I can do a single page at a time. I just save each page as a different file. Not the most ideal, but for the money it works for me. I understand that would not work for a PRO, but then a pro could probably afford the higher end version mwink.gif
