So I am thinking of pickign this up to create collages and albums and different types of layouts for photobooks. I was wondering if anyone has used it, or is using it as a part of their workflow?
I am open to suggestions for any alternative software that are just as good if not better.
I would like to know your experience with this software please.
I've had it for a few years, the only reason I still have an old PC laying around is so I can use it for designs. Very solid, very user friendly... I recommend it.
I like it, that said, I'm fairly certain there are better options for a "professional" designer. It just so happens that I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night, though...
I really wish I could use this. I was about to purchase it, but realized that it only works with Windows (at least as far as I know). I WISH there was something like this for Mac as I rather do everything in PS CS3 manually than use Windows.
(Never found time to learn inDesign - noobish of me)
Saad, it's well worth it to pickup a cheap PC just to use FF. Damn good program that can do practically everything you would want to do with an album designer.
Which version are you guys using? Looks like the middle version does nearly everything the top of the line version does. Any reason to pay the $300 for the extreme version?
I don't remember the differences, exactly, but it had to do with file output size. I don't think you can output 2 page spreads with the middle version. There are some other differences, but as I remember, that was the big one for me.
The full version allows you to work on and export an entire project (album), while the middle version is page-by-page. There are also some differences with output size and formats but for me the ability to work on the whole album at the same time is a must.
I've downloaded the trial and am itchin to buy it. It does seem good. Can anyone comment about how well it interfaces with graphistudio albums? Thanks.
I have the extreme version and I can crank out a 40 spread album in under 10 hours. I just did a 15 spread album in 3 hours actually. I wouldn't buy any other album software.
I have the extreme version. I don't remember exactly what the limitation with the middle version was that made it useless but there was one. Maybe it was the spread size.
Oh and the dude who said 10 hours for 40 spread album was obviously including things like picking the images and maybe even some adjusting... otherwise if you already know what you're gonna do the spreads are superfast to put together.
