The NEW Digital Difference - StoryBook Creator 3.0 pairs up with Memory Manger 3.0
StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 upgraded version! Release date is 9-1-09. See the possibilities! Call me to see the newest digital products and designs! My favorite, seeing the two page spread as you are working on the project for alignment and neat accents!

What are the new features of StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0?
A few of our favorites are:

1. Journaling and Text Enhancements

You’ve never been able to do more with text and journaling! Wrap your text around images and objects, fill any shape with text. You can even draw a line, straight or curvy, and text will follow the line. And we’ve added an “insert symbol” option to support special characters. When you are selecting a font you’ll see a preview of each font as your mouse moves over font options, and you’ll find the most recently used fonts at the top of the list. Just enter the first letter of a font name and the software will bring you directly to that portion of the list.

2. Project Auto-Populate

After selecting photos, you can choose to auto-populate your project with them – a unique smart feature that populates templates based on photo dates and times.

3. Facebook Upload

Share your pages and other creations with your friends. Now your pages can easily be uploaded to Facebook right from your software!

4. Page Resizing

No need to re-do all your hard work for multiple project needs. Now you can resize your 12 x 12 to 8 x 8 or your 8.5 x 11 to 7 x 5. Order a large copy for yourself and a smaller version for friends and family. Note: You may need to make minor adjustments to text boxes and other items, so be sure to check your pages after resizing.

5. Two-page Spread Viewing

This improved 3.0 feature allows you to view both sides of your two-page StoryBook spread at the same time for easier editing and alignment of items across two pages.

6. Improved Content Manager

See and sort your digital artwork to easily find what you’re looking for. Assign keywords that are searchable to quickly locate the paper, embellishment, or color scheme you want!

7. Easy Upgrading from StoryBook Creator Plus 2.0

When you upgrade from StoryBook Creator Plus 2.0, the software will find your most recently used projects and your purchased content and move them over to version 3.0 automatically.

Other new features:

• Grid cutting tool to cut an element into a grid of equally-sized rectangles.
• New straight cutter options, including paper tears, blended edges, and patterned edges using shapes and more; new corner cutters, too!
• Rubber stamping tool allows users to create a rubber stamp effect from any element on the page.
• New filters to add an artistic effect to your photos or any element on your page.
• Add a page element directly to your content library from the page you’re working on, or add any papers and embellishments directly from files on your computer rather than having to load the files into the content library first.
• Self-Installing Packages: Content packages will now automatically be loaded into the software when you download them – just click on “Open” when you’re downloading.
• Easier access to Memory Manager 3.0 photos – just click on Get Photos/from Memory Manager and the program will open and allow you to share your photos with any open StoryBook.
• Photos – you can now sort your photos by date. You can also remove multiple photos at once. And you can choose to view either All Photos, Photos Already Used, or Photos Not Used.
• You can now mat a photo with any paper! And the new frames will allow you to double-mat, triple-mat, even quadruple-mat a photo. Each layer of these mats can be individually changed.
• You can add a favorite page from any project to your home page (much better than viewing the software logo).
• User settings section now includes setting the location for both purchased packages and user-created content.
• Custom-sized projects now allow the user to specify the bleed on all four sides of the page in addition to the page size.
• Anything the user can add to the page is now available on the new Insert ribbon, including inserting a straight line, straight path and curved path.
• The license manager now shows a list of current license keys and which content packages are unlocked by a particular license key.
• A new touchup photo option gives you five new brushes
• Tutorials are included with the software – a Virtual Tour and “Getting Started” overview.
• New Display ribbon group on the View ribbon gives the user the option to choose between High Speed (which moves the program around faster but user will see elements “jump” slightly at times) and High Quality (runs a bit slower but no effect on any elements as you move through the process).

Why should I upgrade?

StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 Software has many enhancements that allow you even more creative freedom than previous versions. As you can see from the new features listed above, the value of the 3.0 upgrade is truly worth every penny. Although we will continue to support StoryBook Creator Plus 2.0 through the end of 2010, we will not be releasing any updates or new functionality for version 2.0.

All new products will only be available in version 3.0, including:

• 7 x 5 Personalized Covers – you will only be able to create these in version 3.0.
• 8 x 8 and 7 x 5 Predesigned Pages – since version 3.0 allows you to convert 12 x 12 to 8 x 8 and 11 x 8.5 to 7 x 5, we will no longer be selling Predesigned Pages in the 8 x 8 or 7 x 5 sizes.
• Beginning in March 2010, we will be designing all new digital content in version 3.0, which will not be compatible with StoryBook Creator Plus/2.0
• New calendars will only be able to be created in version 3.0

What is the cost to upgrade?
The cost to upgrade is $19.95 for either the Upgrade CD or download. In September and October of 2009, the upgrade price is just $9.95.

Why is there a cost to upgrade?

Significant enhancements add to the value of the product. You rarely see an upgrade price as reasonable as ours. During September and October 2009, you’ll be able to upgrade for just $9.95, which is 85 percent off the cost of the new software. Beginning in November 2009, the upgrade price will increase to $19.95, which is still almost 70 percent off the full list price of the software. Minor updates and changes will remain free.
