MacNN: "If you need to create a photo slide show, you really want this software."

Ilene Hoffmann reviewed FotoMagico 2 for MacNN:

The short story: If you need to create a photo slide show, then you really want this software! [...] I was very impressed with how effortlessly I was able to throw the slide show together. In under two hours, I had an acceptable presentation, which received high praise from viewers.

FotoMagico 2.1b4

-

If you like taking a risk, FotoMagico 2.1b4 is available. FotoMagico 2.1 Pro users will be able to quickly adjust the color of an image used in the presentation so that photos in a sequence better match each other.

Another great thing: Peter nailed a problem with the QuickTime export code which results in vastly improved image quality for DV and H.264 files. This means better quality on DVDs and files for the web. We have already updated the hero movie on the FotoMagico web site. The new file is half the size and has much less artifacts in the transitions, especially the first from text to photo.

Boinx FotoMagico 2: Storytelling for Photographers

-

Las Vegas, NV - March 8th, 2007. Since photography went digital, much has changed for photographers. They need new ways to express themselves, new ways to present their work. FotoMagico 2 features new ways to share your photo presentations as standalone shows or Mac OS X screensavers that present the FotoMagico show in the same high quality without the need to install FotoMagico. Photographers also don't like to spend a lot of time learning to use new software, so FotoMagico 2 is even easier to use than FotoMagico 1 which was named Apple Design Awards Best Mac OS X User Experience Runner-up in 2006. Boinx Software announces the immediate availability of FotoMagico 2, a new pricing structure starting at US $49 (down from $79) as well as the update procedures and pricing.

DRM Free Music in iTunes Store

-

Apple and EMI today announced that they will sell EMI's catalogue of hit music through iTunes DRM free. We are very happy about this announcement, because it could mean that FotoMagico customers could use songs they purchased from the iTunes Store in FotoMagico presentations in the future. Of course DRM free does not mean that the songs can be freely used, but in the past, the iTunes Terms of Service specifically allowed use of iTunes files in projects created with iLife and other apps for private purposes. We will have to see if that changes once the songs are available.
