Upgrades
Free Minor Updates
 
 
Purchasing FotoFusion entitles you to free updates to all new "dot releases" until the next "major" release.

For example: if you purchase version 4.3, then an update to version 4.4 would be free while an upgrade to version 5.0 would be available at a discount. LumaPix provides 90-day 'purchase protection': if a major version version of FotoFusion is released during this interval after your purchase, you will be entitled to upgrade at no charge.

Text
Canvas Based Text
 
 
 
Text can be added to the canvas and resized freely. This is useful for adding labels, signatures, and naming your artwork.
Per-Frame Text
 
 
 
Text can be added to individual frames; moving the image will move the attached text frames. This is useful for creating contact sheets and labeling individual pictures.
Standard EXIF Info
 
 
 
Information embedded in the files from most digital cameras, including the date and time the picture was taken, the model of camera, etc can be inserted into a text body and filled in automatically.
Custom EXIF Info
 
 
 
Custom, user-defined EXIF tags can be specified and pulled from files based on schema you provide. For example, a yearbook publisher can embed student first and last names into two separate custom fields in each image.
Ligature control
 
 
 
Discretionary and Historical Ligature support.
Organizing
Search
 
 
 
Find your own content and commercial dotScrap content on the web using keyword searches with automatic completion (so 'gr' finds 'groom and 'grand').
Direct Folder Access
 
 
 
Find your images faster with a completely rewritten Image Organizer and direct folder access.
Ratings
 
 
 
Rate your images on a star scale to help sort your collection.
Keywords
 
 
 
Attach keywords to images, projects, templates, and elements and then use progressive search to precisely find what you are looking for.
Categories
 
 
 
Categories are smart folders in hierarchies that you customize - so for example placing a picture of the tower of pisa can tag that image with italy, travel, and 2007.

Buckets are temporary holding areas for images - you can drop images into buckets with a single key, then drag that bucket into a category, assign a keyword, autocollage only that bucket, and so on.
