June 9, 2008 (FPRC) -- Today, FotoInsight of Cambridge launched the award winning CEWE Photobook service in Italy, just one month after its successful launch in Spain. The expansion of the popular photo book concept is helped by winning this year's TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) best photo service award. TIPA voted the CEWE Photobooks at the self-titled the European ‘Oscar’ of the Photo and Imaging Industry, as the leading product in its hotly contested category, which has lend a new dynamism to the photo printing industry and offers the consumer an attractive option to preserve photographic memories.
The TIPA judges state “With its photobook concept, CEWE offers a complete solution for creating and ordering high quality photobooks across Europe. Digital photos can be combined with backgrounds, text and page design, and the CEWE photobook software is free of charge and offers intuitive handling. ...”.
The FotoInsight Designer software for the CEWE Photobook is intuitive and does not require specialist knowledge, making photo book design accesible across different levels of experience and languages . According to the vendor, the Layout Assistant in its “FotoInsight Designer” CEWE photo book software designs a coffee table style book with hundreds of images in under three minutes. Users with time and patience may enjoy designing their own printed photo album page by page or simply refine the Layout Assistant’s design with texts and repositioning the images.
FotoInsight offers a range of 94 different photo book formats counted by cover, size and number of pages. Its portfolio ranges from a pocket size photo booklet through bound books in square format (8”x8” from £9.99) or A4 to the new XL-format (12”x12”). All photobooks (square, A4 and XL) are available with very durable channel bind in a linen cover or in a soft or hardcover where cover and spine can be edited freely with photos and text. All photo books are available in different sizes, from 26 to 98 pages (increasing in eight page steps).
Convenient and flexible
The creative freedom provided by the new FotoInsight Designer Software is not limited to photo books, but the same tools can be used for digital photo calendar design with a number of different sizes and templates and a virtually unlimited number of images per page, image layers, free positioning and flexible text tools. FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “We launched the free Spanish photobook software a month ago and hundreds of photo books have already been created and printed through our Spanish service. We expect to help thousands of Italians to preserve their photographic memories in pristine colours, just like we do for our British customers.”
