The Digital Photographer's Software Guide
Brightness, contrast, gamma, and sharpness controls are included in both editions, along
with resizing and cropping. Only the Gold edition has rotation, curves, and color correction.
You can resize the pages inside an Album, but not in the Essentia edition, and
swap photos instantly (but only in Gold). By far the best results are achievable with the
significantly more expensive Gold edition, which includes guidelines for accurate composing
together with automatic color and contrast adjustment. An intermediate, Classic
edition has been discontinued but is still supported.
Comments
Dg Foto Art comes from a respected team of developers in India, the company having
been founded by Viren Satra, the father of videography in the subcontinent. As a result,
many of its designs lean towards Bollywood taste, with clashing colors and lively
layouts. Among its best designs are some superb Indian wedding templates, which
require separate purchase from the Dg Foto Galleria collection but are very tasteful by
comparison. Dg Foto Art would be a natural choice for anyone making albums for
an Indian wedding. The product is widely available—dealers in the U.S. include Alkit
(www.alkit.com) and B&H (www.bhphotovideo.com). It comes with a USB dongle to
combat software piracy.
