FxFoto 6 makes it easier to create and arrange large slide shows with a variety
of animated transition effects. Fifteen new "wipe-style" transitions
provide more creative options. Borderless slides emphasize photos by
eliminating white space. FxFoto 6 also simplifies recording narration or
selecting music for long slide shows. It can now rearrange slides with
drag and drop and can combine or break up slide shows. FxFoto Media
Edition can save slide shows and photo layouts in a number of new formats
including Flash (SWF), MPEG, MP4, AVI, WMF and PDF. Users can create
multimedia shows for YouTube® and portable devices such as the Apple iPod®,
plus Flash shows for the web.
Also new is an innovative Undo Brush that can selectively remove edits and
effects. The Undo Brush can blend original and modified areas with
partial transparency. FxFoto 6 now prints photos or layouts directly from
left pane folders, making easier to organize and print scrapbooks or other
multi-page creations. New batch operations allow resizing a number of
photos in one step and can flatten complex layouts into a single image for
additional editing. For digital scrapbooking enthusiasts, FxFoto Creative
and Media Editions now offer a variety of free designer kits for download.
FxFoto's unique interface makes it easy to edit images and create multi-image
layouts without sacrificing power. With over 1.6 million downloads since
2003, FxFoto has become one of the most popular photo software solutions.
The download offers powerful free photo editing without the time limitations
found in most trial software. It can organize, edit and save photo files
in JPEG and other popular formats and includes professional tools such as a
Clone Brush. The free edition now allows users to try most advanced tools
and effects and create multi-photo collage layouts and slide shows, features
that are fully enabled with a purchased registration. Plus the free
Standard Edition can now save photo text and frame annotations for future
editing.
Note to Editors: Review copies of the FxFoto software are available to members of the media upon request.
Like any good recipe, the FxFoto Recipes Project CD allows you to tweak projects to your own taste.
With ten coordinated kits oriented around cooking, food and kitchen themes, it's easy to create your
own custom digital scrapbooking layouts from scratch. Use one of the pre-made layout templates
for polished results. Add your own photos and text as desired. Then simply print them for
your own albums or to give away as gifts. You can add your own 3D embellishments after printing,
to create a "hybrid" traditional project.
"Recipe albums are the perfect digital project," says Triscape's Director of Marketing Susan White. "You can make the layout once
and print as many copies as you want, in any size you want. You could have the same recipe album
as an 8x8 or 12x12 or 6x6. I'm making a set of laminated recipe cards with the recipes I use all
the time. I will punch a hole in one corner and use a ring to keep them together."
Eleven popular digital "cooks" contributed kits to the Recipes Project CD: Tamara Dantes,
Jeanine Baechtold, Roberta D'Achille, Katie Mann, Maya, Elizabeth Lane, Kim Hill, Correen Silke,
Kim Hill, and Lorraine Yuriar. The program also includes a selection of easy drag-and-drop sketch
templates for 4x6 recipe cards, created by Corina Nielsen.
The Recipes Project CD incorporates the Quick Layouts software by FxFoto, with all the creative power
and ease of use found in Triscape's full FxFoto Creative Edition, but without photo organization,
editing and effects. Everything you need to get started right away creating your own recipe
layouts and albums is all on one CD.
Note to Editors: Review copies of the FxFoto Creative software are available to members of the media
upon request.
Getting started with FxFoto Version 5.0 is easy. The toolbar buttons have been simplified for an
intuitive interface, guiding users to find exactly what they're looking for. The buttons now
feature chronological numbers to lead users through the three-step process of creating a digital
scrapbook layout. User feedback directed the changes made for several buttons, specifically the
New, Add, Save, and Settings buttons. Users can now select from a wider, friendlier variety of
options for each button.
FxFoto Creative 5.0 comes with layout templates designed by Jennifer Caputo, as well as ten complete
digital kits and many choices of background papers (when ordered as the CD version; digital kits not
available by download purchase).
A trial version of the Creative Edition is available as the FxFoto Standard Edition. Visit

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.
Evaluation copies are available upon request.

New FxFoto Version 1.2 Expands Digital Photo Organization, Enhancement
and Web Publishing
Windham, NH (February, 2004) - Triscape Inc. announces the release of
FxFoto 1.2, offering significant enhancements of its easy-to-use yet
feature-rich photo package. Major new features include intuitive timeline
navigation, a host of new photo enhancement and creativity tools, and improved
tools for publishing slide shows on web sites using the FxFoto Viewer Plug-In.
The FxFoto Standard Edition is still free.
FxFoto's unique user interface has been highly acclaimed by users as easy to
learn and use. FxFoto automatically scans for photos upon installation and
organizes thumbnails by date and folder in the navigation pane. The new
Timeline Bar indicates visually the location of all folders by date, and one
mouse click instantly moves the user to the folder thumbnails. Unique to
FxFoto, all photo navigation, timeline representation, enhancement, slide
creation, and creativity features are quickly accessible from a single
application window, avoiding the complexity of products using complicated and
sometimes confusing windows for separate tasks.
FxFoto 1.2 also provides a host of photo enhancement capabilities usually found
only in high end image editing programs. Photos can be cropped and enhanced
using a rich set of image enhancement tools including red-eye correction,
lightening, darkening, sharpening, softening, color fills, background textures
and a host of others. A new "Improve Image" tool allows the correction of one
of the most common problems in photography, over or under exposed backgrounds
and foregrounds. The tool allows for selective lightening or darkening of
specific areas of a photo without noticeable harsh transition edges. New
creativity features have been added to FxFoto 1.2, including new frame types
such as tabs and special edge effects. FxFoto provides a vast collection of
creativity features including countless frame styles, text annotations, and
even a clone brush for creative retouching of digital images. Frame borders
can be oval or rectangular with faded and even torn edges. In addition to
traditional rectangular cropping, FxFoto can also crop with ovals or any
irregularly drawn shape.
The 1.2 Deluxe Edition adds improved web publishing capabilities to create pure
HTML pages or sophisticated presentations and slide shows using Triscape's
powerful Viewer Plug-in. Building web based presentations is as simple as
creating a multi-photo collage or slide show and using the collage wizard to
create a ready made web page containing the show. After posting pages to a
web site, the FxFoto plug-in automatically downloads to web browsers when
viewing the presentation. Slide shows for distribution via web sites, email,
or self running CD's can literally be created in minutes. Styles include a
variety of picture entrance and exit effects, 3D cinematic scrolling slides,
zoomable thumbnails, and more. Also new in the Deluxe Edition is the ability
to add music to presentations.

can also be archived off-line on CD or DVD media while maintaining
thumbnails on-line.
A unique animated navigator displays photo thumbnails of all pictures by
topic. Finding old photos is easy because all thumbnails are visible in a
single scrolling view. Clicking on a thumbnail instantly shows a photo
preview or adds it to a collection of pictures to create a slide show or
collage. In addition, photos can be organized and searched by user
specified keywords and by date. FxFoto greatly simplifies photo organization
for those newer users who don't fully understand tree folder structures.
One of the most exciting features of FxFoto is its ability to easily make
photo collages. A creative use of these collections is to represent an event
- graduation, vacation, holiday, picnic, party - in a collage or "scrap
book". FxFoto makes creating collages fast and easy by letting the user
simply drag photos onto the presentation page and click to apply frames,
special effects, dialog balloons, and other annotations. The results are
particularly stunning when printed on larger format paper and make perfect
gifts to friends and relatives.
