Windham, NH (PRWEB) October 4, 2006 -- With more than 21 billion digital images expected to be captured in 2006*, it's no secret that women are keenly interested in preserving memories. But many women have a problem figuring out what to do once they have these digital images. They may consider digital scrapbooking projects, but wind up feeling overwhelmed and intimidated when learning to tackle complicated graphic editing software.
That's just how Susan White felt. She was frustrated after spending hours trying to complete simple photo editing with more advanced graphics software. She just wanted something simple and easy – click, click, done. She consulted with some friends for the ultimate "wish list", and took her frustrations to software developer Steve Simonoff and his team. Together they came up with a digital scrapbooking and photo management software that eliminated the typical learning curve. The result -- FxFoto by Triscape.
Available in three editions – Deluxe, Creative, and Media -- this multi-faceted program allows users to easily handle their photo collection, and at the same time preserve their memories in a creative way. Even self-proclaimed "computer dummies" can quickly and easily sort, organize, scrapbook, and showcase their photos, with push-button ease.
"We figured if I could use this software, anyone could," comments White. "Steve and his team were really interested in what would make their software more user-friendly. Once we discovered digital scrapbooking, they wanted to go a step further and make the program 'scrapbooker-friendly'. The team has been great about trying to understand this scrapbooking obsession -- though I still can't get them to stop calling embellishments 'clipart'!"
