"We are extremely excited about this new release," said Katherine Lewis, MyPublisher President. "We have designed over 150 new page layouts for our photo books, which our customers have been requesting, as well as improved the overall performance and usability of the application. Simply put, it's easier than ever before to build MyPublisher PhotoBooks."

The new templates add flexibility and variety to the existing selection of page layouts. MyPublisher has focused on offering more options for 5 or more photos per page as well as providing many more choices for the arrangement and configuration of the images on the page.

The new, autobuild feature enables customers to easily build their book in three easy steps. Customers can select pages with or without text, and the types of page layouts they want included. Then "autobuild" builds their book for them, fitting the images in the correct molds. "This new autobuild truly makes building a book a 3 step process," said Katherine Lewis, MyPublisher President. "The entire process takes under 30 seconds to complete and your book is ready to be printed. This makes it easy, even for customers who are not computer savvy to print beautiful coffee table books."

Finally, BookMaker 2.3 offers a new way to input text on the pages. Typing directly into the text boxes, customers can now use different fonts, sizes and styles all within the same text box. Usability improvements were also added throughout the application to make the customer experience even friendlier.

With all these new enhancements, creating a photo book is easier to do than it ever has been.
