In contrast, the Extreme version allows for unlimited export sizes. You could possibly stretch that to 225 dpi and therefore push the limits of end size to 17″ x 25″. What that means is your end product should be no larger than those dimensions if you want the best quality result. At 300 dpi (which is the recommended resolution for printing) you can achieve a maximum output size of 13″ x 19″. The Enhanced version will give you output size of 3900 x 5700 pixels. From reviewing the list of features, the main difference between the two versions is the output, and of course output is key if you’re planning to make photo books.

According to the information from Lumapix’s website, the Mac and PC versions have the same features, so my review should be relevant to both platforms. As many of you may know I’m on a Mac, and the Mac version of FotoFusion just came out about a year ago. LumaPix is the Canadian company behind FotoFusion, a software program for creating photo layouts and collages for use in albums, photo books, advertising materials, blogs etc. Click on this link, if you want to read my introductory post with my list of pros and cons of using external photo book software. Ever since the invention of the mouse, we’re used to plopping things into little folders, and ease of use is essential. (I also have Adobe InDesign, but I haven’t used it as much as Photoshop.) Photoshop CS is a powerful tool, but not necessarily geared towards album creation.

I am definitely at the point of wanting to have full control over my designs and I have done that over the years using primarily Adobe Photoshop CS. So, you may find yourself at the point of wanting to own your own software so you can print your designs at the photo book printer of your choice and perhaps create your own templates for use and reuse on future book projects.

Trying to learn new software can be time consuming if you’re particular about design like I am and not into pre-made themes.

I am trying to balance thoroughness with conciseness, but it’s not working! I can’t just make a “mock” project because I have to be interested in the project to really do a good review and then I tend to write gobs and gobs. And then I’m kind of particular about it.

It’s a rather time-consuming to do software reviews (and photo book reviews for that matter) because I actually have to sit down and learn how to use the programs. Finally I had a bit of time after the flurry of family birthdays in July and August. Hi all! I bet some of you were wondering when I was going to get another software review up. Currently only one version of the software is offered – the Extreme version (version 5.5) and good news – the price has been reduced from $299.00 to $199.00.) You will be able to benefit from the autolayout feature that is great for quick result.UPDATE: Please note there have been some updates to this review since the original post date. You will still need to start as an album, but you can simply create only one page if you want. You could also use the new MementoPro software from LumaPix that could help you achieve this very quickly. Let me as a question, what if I just want to print a 17x22 photo, or 8x10, or whatever, with multiple pictures on it, for example both my kids on a large print, is that possible with this software or is this only for creating albums? What I need is mainly for printing purposes. Does things that Photoshop couldn't even dream of doing. Amazingly powerful for designing collages, wedding albums, etc.
