dg Foto Art - our Flagship all-in-one Product
PXL Soft's dg Foto Art is the album creation product favoured by a very large number of professional photgraphers. It is also used by many of the album and display printing bureaux. Using dgFoto Art therefore our customers benefit from seamless file interoperability with thier chosen bureau.

FotoSlate4 - Our every-day album package - exceptional value for money
 We recommend FotoSlate4 for users of Print&Bind - and for PhotoArt albums where there are a lot of text blocks. It is very fast and easy to use, with a good range of templates and editing features and is really good value for money. But of course it does not have the interoperability with bureaux systems.
Keep Photoshop! - Album DS gives you the a full templating add-on
 Many users feel that they have invested such a lot in Photoshop CS - that they would prefer to use a templating and album design add-on to this industry standard program. That is why we have added Album DS to our portfolio. Album DS provides over 1000 templates, 560 frames, 115 backgrounds and 170 masks. It offers a seamless Photoshop integration, with additonal editing facilities and an easy way of creating your own formats.
Album DS or dg Foto Art? It's your choice. See our blog for an analysis.
