Digital Scrapbooking: Review of the Newest Digital Scrapbooking Software Products

Memories are very precious things and most of us take pictures in order to remember the special moments and the special people in our lives. Scrapbooking has become my favorite hobby. I love cutting out different shapes of brightly colored paper and arranging pictures onto a page with adhesive, it is so much fun. But now I have also started to play around with digital scrapbooking and have created beautiful storybooks, which are bound coffee table books made on the computer.

This September, there are two brand new digital scrapbooking software products being released, which are very technologically advanced. These products are being released by a company called Creative Memories. These two products are called Memory Manager 3.0 and Storybook Creator Plus 3.0.

The great thing about digital photography is that you can take as many pictures as you want, but how do you organize all of those photos? Well, Memory Manager 3.0 can help you to do that. You can also organize and store audio and video files with this software. There are image enhancement features such as red eye correction, cropping, and if there is something in your picture that you don't want, you can remove just that part of the picture. It is very cool. It even has the ability to replace eyes that are looking in the wrong direction, with eyes that are looking in the correct direction, so that a great picture of everyone else isn't ruined by one person looking the wrong way. You can preplan your digital scrapbooking albums and journaling right from this software and it keeps track of printed and non-printed photos for you. This new software is truly amazing and a must have for any picture taker and especially for any scrapbooker.

The second of the newest digital scrapbooking software products I just tried was Storybook Creator Plus 3.0, also from Creative Memories. This program allows you to scrapbook right on your computer with a new flexibility and level of creativity. But, it isn't just for scrapbooking. You can make greeting cards, coffee mugs, calendars, page prints, and invitations. You are given the ability to choose what size storybook, page print, or wall print you would like to create and then the fun begins! I have to tell you, this product is so much fun. You can purchase digital kits that you like with different papers and embellishments, and use those to decorate your storybook however you like and you place your photos wherever and however you like. You can convert your projects instantly to different sizes, which is a great feature.

You can also share your photos in a slide show or download your projects to facebook. This product has amazing flexibility such as being able to turn any photo instantly to black and white and giving any paper the look of being torn. When you are done, you place your order and in the mail comes a beautifully bound storybook!

Creative memories is a company that sells products to help people to preserve their memories through scrapbooking and many other products. Digital scrapbooking is a relatively new way of scrapbooking that is a lot of fun and many people are catching on to this new way of taking advantage of the new technologies available to us.
