Triscape's FxFoto is a reliable utility that allows you to automatically organize, archive, enhance, and create collages with digital photos.

FxFoto was designed to give the novice to advanced amateur an easy-to-use package to address all the common photo software needs as well as offer unique features that help you publish and preserve your photographic memories with style.

Some of FxFoto's many features include automatically locating all your current photos, direct import from virtually any digital camera or card reader, visual grouping and organizing photos, and a host of processing functions to spruce up pictures, including red eye correction, lighting and image enhancement, and blemish removal.

FxFoto also allows easy and efficient email of one or more photos or distributing photos or slide shows by burning them directly onto CD's (Deluxe Edition only).

CD's created with FxFoto include a free viewer that allows anyone with a PC to view them by simply inserting the CD into their computer. A unique animated navigator frame in FxFoto displays photo thumbnails of all your pictures by topic.

Each topic can be opened or closed to view the thumbnails and clicking on a picture thumbnail instantly shows a picture preview or adds it to a collection of pictures to create a slideshow or collage.

In addition, photos can be organized and searched by user specified keywords.

The Deluxe Edition of FxFoto allows users to create multi-picture collages by simply dragging photos onto the presentation page and clicking to apply frames, special effects, dialog balloons and other annotations.

The results are particularly stunning when printed on larger format paper and make for perfect gifts to friend and relatives of memorable events. FxFoto Deluxe can also automatically stitch photos into stunning panoramas.

The Pro Media Edition includes all FxFoto features and creates MPEG slide show movies.
