What's New in PhotoPlus X2 - Organise & Share

Improved Organise and Search

Find and retrieve images quickly with powerful tag and search capabilities in AlbumPlus SE Pro. Smart Tags allow searches against image attributes such as file type and size, or even a particular import session. A comprehensive calendar-based system also records when photos were taken and enables retrieval by date, too. The new Search Bar with import history and search-by-type enhancements make searching more powerful than ever before.

Buy Prints

Select your favourite images and order them as stunning professional prints from Shutterfly, or even order PhotoStamps, Stamps.com's popular form of personalized U.S. postage, directly through AlbumPlus too. AlbumPlus automatically uploads your selected images to Shutterfly or PhotoStamps, so all you need to do is place your order - simple!

Photo Disc

Burn your chosen images to recordable CDs or DVDs and send your Photo Discs to family, friends and colleagues so they can view or add your images to their own digital photo collections. You can also take Photo Discs to your local digital print shop and have your images professionally printed.

Buy Photo Paper

Purchase Serif Premium Photo Paper from a link in AlbumPlus SE Pro – get the best out of your PhotoPlus and AlbumPlus images. Produced by the same manufacturers of the paper you'll find in many high street stores, Serif Premium Photo Paper offers great quality, but at a fraction of the price. Whatever the occasion, and whenever you want to print your favourite photos, Serif Premium Photo Paper is the ideal solution.

Print Projects

Produce your own stunning calendars, photo albums, greeting cards and postcards with AlbumPlus SE Pro and your own desktop printer. These stylish print projects offer a number of different layouts and design themes, and simple drag and drops will see your own photo collections embedded in the design with ease, with simple controls for positioning and scaling your photos in place.

Slideshow Movies

Create compelling slideshows from your photo collections, choosing from a range of transitions, your own background music and even movie clips. Preview slideshows in AlbumPlus SE Pro by simply hovering the cursor over the slideshow thumbnail. Play slideshows on your own PC or – new to PhotoPlus X2 Digital Studio – export in the widely-supported Windows Media Video format for sharing with friends and family.

Lossless JPG

PhotoPlus X2 now supports export and import of lossless JPEG image files – called lossless because a new export option retains 100% image quality, no signs of blocky JPEG compression. You can still choose to export JPEG and JPEG 2000 (JPG, JPEG, J2K, and JP2) images with your choice of quality versus file size on the usual sliding scale, but when you have to have perfection, lossless JPEG is now at hand.
