    Boinx FotoMagico 1.8: Slide Shows for Aperture Users - Press Release
    Boinx FotoMagico 1.8: Slide Shows for Aperture Users


    Munich, Germany - Nov. 22nd, 2006. FotoMagico 1.8 now integrates
    libraries from Apple's Aperture software in the Images tab so that
    photos in the Aperture Library can be accessed directly from within
    FotoMagico. The addition of the "New with Template" command makes it
    easier for users to create slide shows with the correct settings for the
    final presentation environment.

    Use Aperture Libraries

    FotoMagico 1.8 knows how to read Aperture's library format (Aperture 1.5
    or later) and can display images stored in Apple's professional photo
    management tool in the Images tab for easy use in a FotoMagico
    slideshow. This easy integration offers Aperture users a compelling path
    to great photo presentations.

    New From Template

    To make it easier for the user to create slide shows with correct
    settings for the final presentation destination, a "New with Template"
    command has been added. The users chooses from the most popular
    scenarios, including "Live Presentation on a Mac", "DVD on Television",
    "Live Presentation on a Projector" and others, and FotoMagico sets up
    the project automatically. This makes it a lot easier to get the
    settings for stage size and export right.

    Built-in Store

    Another new thing is the "Buy now..." menu item which guides you to the
    closest outlet based on your system's region setting. Customers from the
    US for example may use the built-in Kagi Store while customers from
    Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be directed to Application Systems
    Heidelberg.

    Availablity and Pricing

    Boinx FotoMagico 1.8 is available for download immediately as a
    Universal Application from the website http://www.fotomagico.com. The
    update is free for all current owners of a valid FotoMagico license. New
    license keys are for sale via Kagi for US $79. A five day demo license
    for evaluation can be requested at the website.
