Here's a little something for those of you who are interested in Scrapbooking on the computer:

New Digital Scrapbook MAX Combines Technological Advances With Traditional Trends.

(Kansas City) - It's the first scrapbooking software to fully
integrate the advances of digital photography with the look and
feel of traditional paper scrapbooking, providing the best of
both worlds. Scrapbook MAX, a complete computerized digital
scrapbooking kit, bridges the gap between paper and digital with
a unique combination of features inspired by traditional
scrapbooking. The downloadable software offers a user-friendly
drag-and-drop workspace that makes digital scrapbooking fast,
fun and easy for all ages.

Scrapbook MAX provides users with creative embellishments,
journal text, speech bubbles, frames, borders, and much more to
use with their digital photos. It also includes a great
selection of professionally designed themes and layouts, and
hundreds of captions, clipart, paper scraps, as well as a
variety of images, colors, patterns and textures. The unique
software allows users to add exciting background music and even
includes professional features like rotation, resizing, rulers,
and alignment tools.

"Everyone has friends and family who scrapbook," says Indigo
Rose Software Design President Colin Adams. "According to a
recent survey, more than 25 million households throughout North
America take part in scrapbooking and this year some 89 million
digital cameras will be used, so you've got a lot of people who
are looking for something to do with their photos."

Adams says his software company, Indigo Rose Design Corp., got
into the scrapbooking market when they discovered the current
market was lacking. "One day about a year ago, we went out
looking for a software package to create scrapbooks on the
computer. It was pretty clear that the existing products didn't
get the whole scrapbooking concept." Adams says he felt the
existing scrapbooking software wasn't using the familiar
scrapbooking terms, or weren't compatible with all the great,
and often free, digital papers, embellishments and scrapbooking
kits found on the Internet. "Above all, the software was either
too complicated to be fun or so simple that there was no room
left for creativity. So, we created Scrapbook MAX Digital
Scrapbooking Software to address all of those issues."

Scrapbook MAX can publish a scrapbook directly to video CD for
viewing on TV screen or monitor. It also helps make fantastic
slideshows and can send the entire scrapbook as an email
attachment, post it on a website, or turn it into a screen
saver. Scrapbook pages can be posted online for free in the
Scrapbook MAX members gallery area or be printed in high
resolution.

In addition to the unique combination of technology and
tradition, what also sets Scrapbook MAX apart is that it is
extremely easy to use even for the complete novice, yet it also
provides 100% creative control over scrapbook layouts of any
size, even 8x8 and 12x12. It also offers picture perfect photo
retouching options like red eye reduction, cropping, scratch
removal and sharpening.

Scrapbook MAX sells for $39.95 and can be purchased at select
retailers, online at www.scrapbookmax.com or by calling:
800.665.9668 Scrapbook MAX is compatible for Windows 98 and up
and is available by download for a 30-day trial version.
