Photo book boom continues

One of the main reasons why photo books are gaining in popularity with amateur photographers is the fact that handling the Cewe Photo Book software, which is available as a free download at www.cewe-fotobuch.de, is child’s play, the company said. With the help of an assistant, any user can design a layout for a professional photo documentation of a family holiday, a jubilee celebration or a wedding within a matter of only a few minutes. In mid-September CeWe Color will be bringing out a new software version. The features of this software included an even bigger choice of design and more templates.

A larger number of consumers will be realising their photo book ideas with these extended options for personally processing photos and layouts. CeWe Color estimates that around 3.5 million CeWe Photo Books will have been produced by the end of September.

Photo enthusiasts are not only delighted about creative book designs. The fascination of a photo book is also that consumers can actually hold an album created on a computer screen in their hands afterwards. Unlike in the case of virtual photo albums and the preview functions of digital cameras, those who have already produced a photo book themselves appreciate the high-quality workmanship and the experience of sharing photos and joy "live" with relatives and friends, company said.
