In development for two years, iScrapbook can import photos and clip art in popular formats. A built-in Favorites Bin lets users store favourite graphics, shapes, and text for quick and easy future reuse.
The solution integrates with iPhoto – images and albums within the iLife imaging application are automatically accessible through iScrapbook's built-in image browser.
The software offers numerous tools to help users keep virtual scrapbooks, including drawing and graphics tools; object and image alignment and rotation, and a series of special effects, including cropping, sepia, shadow and transparency controls.
iScrapbook includes over 30 shapes with smart controls so users can design their own customised elements. Built-in rulers, project grid lines, snap-to-grid, real-time alignment guides and full zoom capabilities are also offered in the V.1 release.
Jerry Halls, vice president of sales at Chronos said: "Many scrapbookers have been looking for a Mac solution so they can move from traditional scrapbooking to digital scrapbooking."
System requirements call for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, 40MB of available disk space, a DVD-ROM drive for installation, inkjet or laser printer.
The software is set to ship next month and is available now for pre-order at just $29.99, rather than its $49.99 full price. Chronos Software iScrapbook.
We have launched a WebRing to help spread the word about this great passion of ours. We have only one rule. You must blog about scrapbooking! Easy Huh...
You can sign-up here and place a snippet of code on your site to get rolling.
The more people who sign-up, the more traffic and participation we should all get.
DON'T buy too many supplies before you actually need them.
DO be sure all materials including the adhesive are acid free and photo safe.
DON'T scrapbook every photo--just use the ones that help you tell your story. File the rest.
DO make photos the focus of the page. Be careful when choosing decorative papers and embellishments like stickers, which can easily overwhelm the photos.
DON'T forget to include not only details like the place, date and the people involved but also emotions attached to the photos, when appropriate.
DO use photo corners to position photos or documents--like birth certificates--you might want to take out of your books later.
DON'T be afraid to crop your photos to emphasize the person or detail in them.
DO scan or take photos of 3-D items like trophies, medals or school projects so they can be used in your books without adding bulk.
DON'T wait until you think you have enough time--start today.
