Marilyn Taylor runs Taylor Made Imagery specialising in digital photographic creativity.
On her site she says
Practically
any photograph, digital or printed from film, old, new or damaged,
which has special significance to you, can be restored or improved.
A variety of styles - black and white, sepia, a sketch, watercolour or
a composition - can be prepared for you from your own images. These can
be printed onto fine art paper, canvas or acrylic.
A collection of images can be combined into a photobook for significant birthdays, anniversaries or as a memorial.
Now see what she says about Dg Foto Art
Hi Daniel
I just wanted to tell you how pleased I
am with Essentia FotoArt. I have put a wedding album together for my partner's
daughter as a trial - 300 images into 110 pages. Lovely.
I had been using Photoshop for putting
together photobooks, from holidays, birthdays, etc, and, in general, it was
taking about 10 pages an hour.
I was able to do 100 pages in 4 hours
yesterday, including some false starts, and a couple of support 'calls' to
PXLSoft. They phoned me back within about 10 minutes, and answered my query
fully. I did discover a 'bug', but I found a workaround, so that was great.
(For your interest, with a second monitor, the full selection of editing tools
is not displayed (eg the black/white conversion icons). But if you start it on
the laptop screen, use it in editing mode, and then move it to the second
monitor, it's quite happy. It must be something to do with the way/timing that
it picks up the screen resolution.)
I've now submitted the draft to Blurb for
printing, but have no doubt that it will be more professional than I could have
achieved with just CS4. The built in masks are excellent, and once the PXLSoft
chap told me how to convert the backgrounds into images that I could modify, I
was a happy bunny. I didn't use the templates much, as I found them a bit
limiting. I had more landscape shots than portrait, and a lot of the templates
seem to have portrait frames.
Thanks again for the excellent
service.
Kind Regards
Marilyn
