Boinx release FotoMagico 2

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.

Standalone Player, Screensavers, Watermark

FotoMagico 2 introduces new ways to share slideshows in high quality
with people who do not have their own copy of FotoMagico on their Macs.
Photographers can create standalone players and screensavers that offers
the same playback quality as the full version of FotoMagico. Since the
show is rendered in real time, the file sizes remain small if compared
to HD video. Standalone players and screensavers start the show as soon
as they are opened and can be made to expire after a certain time or
after having been played a certain number of times. In order to brand
their shows, photographers can add a visible watermark to the
presentation which is visible during the complete playback.

Fresh New Look

Because Photographers should be able to spend their time making great
photos, it is important that their photo presentation software is easy
to use. FotoMagico 2 improves on the UI of FotoMagico 1.x that won the
2006 Apple Design Award Best Mac OS X User Experience Runner-up. The new
UI is not only sporting a refreshed look but also makes FotoMagico even
more enjoyable to use.

Express vs. Pro

To serve the needs of different groups of photographers, FotoMagico 2
comes in two flavors: An even more affordable FotoMagico 2 Express at
just $49 (down from $79 for FotoMagico 1.x) for the casual photographer
and a FotoMagico 2 Pro for the professional photographer.

Update from Version 1

Despite all the great new features, the update to FotoMagico 2 Express
is free for all current owners of a FotoMagico 1.x license. The built-in
setup assistant will help users to update to the new license.

The update to FotoMagico 2 Pro from FotoMagico 1.x is - for a short time
until May 31st, 2007 - just $30. After May 31st, the update will be $50.

For the full range of updates, see the Kagi Store at boinx.com/kagi.

on one machine at a time. With FotoMagico 2, Boinx Software introduces
the Family License, which allows the software to be used on up to 5
computers in a private household at the same time. This allows a
photographer to use the software on her laptop and her desktop machine
as well as her kids or spouse to use it on theirs. For pricing
