Indigo Rose Software announces the immediate availability of Scrapbook MAX!, a complete and easy-to-use digital scrapbooking software application for Windows. Scrapbook MAX! is the first software package to fully integrate digital photography with the look and feel of traditional paper scrapbooking, providing enthusiasts with the best of both worlds.
Scrapbooking has become a major phenomenon with over 25 million households participating in the 2.5+ billion a year scrapbooking industry, according to the Creating Keepsakes’ National Survey of Scrapbooking in America. At the same time, people are taking more digital photos than ever. Scrapbook MAX! bridges the gap between paper and digital with a unique combination of features inspired by traditional scrapbooking.
Scrapbook MAX! offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop workspace that makes digital scrapbooking fast, fun and easy for everyone. Even computer novices can make great looking scrapbooks in little time. Start with a ready-to-use scrapbook layout, and then rearrange everything to make it your own. Add your own photos, titles and journal text - it’s as easy as pointing and clicking with your mouse. You can be as creative as you like with paper scraps, tags, speech bubbles, corners and more (there are thousands of embellishments included with the software). Scrapbook MAX! even includes professional features like cropping, rotation, resizing, red eye reduction, scratch removal and special effects.
