Chronos has released iScrapbook 2.0, an update of its digital scrapbooking application for Mac OS X. According to Jerry Halls, vice president of sales at Chronos, it adds over 15 new features.
“We’ve developed a new patent-pending way of bundling digital artwork into ‘iScrapKits’ which makes the artwork fully searchable,” he says. “It is now literally possible, for example, to instantly find an image of a pink bow that is made out of ribbon among a collection of thousands of graphics.”
The major new features of iScrapbook 2.0 include:
° A new iScrapKit Browser for searching artwork;
° New two-page spreads that let users create dramatic layouts that span two pages;
° A new two-page column option that lets users view pages side-by-side to see exactly how they would appear in a book;
° Six new shapes for cropping photos especially for use with custom photo corners;
° New multiple objects that can be resized together without having to group
° An animated full-screen slideshow for sharing memories with others;
° New Trim-To-Page features that hide objects outside the page for a quick preview;
° The ability to export albums to TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and PDF formats;
° Speed improvements when loading pages, printing, and exporting.
A fully functional 30 day trial version can be downloaded from Chronos’ web site; iScrapbook costs US$49.99 and is available directly from Chronos and from popular resellers including the Apple Stores and OfficeMax. A family pack is also available for $89.99.
Users who purchased iScrapbook after Sept. 18, 2008, are eligible to upgrade to iScrapbook 2.x for free. Registered iScrapbook 1.x users can upgrade to iScrapbook 2.x for $29.99. The software requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
