    FotoMagico 2.1: Color, iPhoto '08, iPhone, Apple TV, Web - Press Release
    FotoMagico 2.1: Color, iPhoto '08, iPhone, Apple TV, Web


    Munich, Germany - August 22, 2007. As professional photographers master
    digital photography more and more, their interest turns to things to do
    with their photos. Stunning slideshows in minutes are the speciality of
    FotoMagico 2. Or as Macworld says: "A photographer's dream come true".
    With the latest update, FotoMagico 2.1 gains the ability to
    non-destructively adjust the color of an image, adapts to changes to
    iPhoto '08, exports to iPhone and Apple TV and exports better looking
    movies.

    Color for Professionals


    Imagine you took five images of sky on five different days. Due to
    differences in white balance, exposure and time of day, each of them is
    a slightly different shade of blue. You don't want to edit the original
    images, but just for this slideshow, you want them to look the same. In
    FotoMagico 2 Pro, you can adjust the color of an image
    non-destructively. That means the color will be adjusted for
    presentation and export, but the original image file is not changed.

    iPhoto '08

    FotoMagico 2.1 is updated to support the latest changes to the iPhoto
    libraries introduced by Apple with the iLife '08 update. You can
    continue to access your photos in iPhoto as conveniently as with iPhoto
    6 and before.

    Plays Nice With iPhone, Apple TV

    By creating a cool FotoMagico show from your photos and loading it on
    your iPhone, the iPhone becomes a powerful sales tool. Just think of the
    wow factor when your clients see how stylish you present your work.
    FotoMagico 2.1 adds export presets to make shows that play on the iPhone
    and the Apple TV easy to create.

    Better Movies for Web


    When exporting a movie, there is always a compromise between movie
    quality and file size. If you create a movie for the web, you want it to
    load quickly so you need a small file, but you also want good quality,
    which usually means a bigger file. As video encoding technology
    progresses, the FotoMagico presets are constantly improved to create
    better quality movies at the same file size. So you don't have to learn
    all about the technology.
