New Digital Scrapbooking Software - iScrapbook

An announcement from Chronos via http://www.macobserver.com/ presents their new digital scrapbooking software iScrapbook. I hope it lives up to its name!


Chronos Announces iScrapbook

Chronos announced its new digital scrapbooking application, iScrapbook, on Wednesday. iScrapbook lets you work with digital images and clip art, imports images from iPhoto, and includes tools to draw shapes, add graphics, arrange and align objects, and more. It also ships with image effects like selective focusing, fit image to shape, filling text with an image, and also includes over 100 image mask shapes.
iScrapbook will ship in April, and is available for pre-order for US$29.99. After release, iScrapbook will be priced at $49.99.


Here's a post via http://old.tuaw.com on iScrapbook:

Some of the women-folk in my family are very much into scrapbooking, and once they get going it's amazing how much they can do. And indeed if you go to a crafts store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby you'll find an enormous selection of scrapbooking supplies. Now, of course, the first time I saw this my first reaction was: you should be doing this on a Mac. After all, it seems like adding masks and various designs to pictures is exactly what page layout programs were designed to do. Unfortunately, most page layout programs are expensive and more complicated than necessary, especially for somebody who just wants to have fun scrapbooking rather than learning Quark, etc. So I'm interested to see that Chronos (of SOHO notes fame) has pre-annouced iScrapbook, a scrapbooking program that integrates a iPhoto browser with a variety of photo masks, "Smart-Shapes," "Special-Effects," and more. SOHO is pre-selling iScrapbook for $29.99, 40% off the regular price, but the program won't actually ship until April and disappointingly there isn't even a beta you can download for testing.
