ShutterBug V2 Opens the Door to do More with Your
Photos on the Web
I'm very happy to have discovered ShutterBug, which is so easy to
use, intuitive, creative…
in one word: very Mac!

Kitchener, ON, Canada — March 31, 2006 — ShutterBug Version 2, a major
update to 1.2, equips users with even more tools, opening the door to many
new possibilities for web photo albums and website creation. Built for the Mac®
only, ShutterBug empowers the novice, intermediate, and even advanced users
to leverage their digital hubs and discover the power that exists at their
fingertips. The drag and drop interface, "Easy" button, and WYSIWYG design
environment, promote easy and fast web site assembly that will help users
take their digital content to the next level. ShutterBug "Xtras" make it possible
for even the novice to easily add media files, contact forms, thumbnail
rollovers, and other HTML items. This is by far the most powerful version of
ShutterBug yet. Available for immediate download from XtraLean’s website at
xtralean.com, a demo version can be tried for free and a registration number
can be purchased for only $50 USD (new users). Registered users get V2 for
free.
Exclusively for Mac users only, Version 2 is packed with more than thirty new
features that will help users leverage the full power of their Mac - whether they
want to keep their site simple or go big, the choice is theirs. ShutterBug gives
beginners the edge they need to excel at producing more advanced web
content, which may have otherwise only been possible by hiring a pro web site
developer. The new Theme Manager, is unlike any other competing application
out there, allowing users to add, delete, share, and store only the themes they
want to keep, including their own custom made themes. Page customization is
a cinch, sites can be updated on the fly, and published to a .Mac account,
WebDAV, or FTP host with one click of the mouse.
The powerful and fun WYSIWYG design tools compel users to customize,
design, and update their sites in a snap. Users can easily add QuickTime, Flash
movies, and audio files to their pages, unlimited 'Xtra' text and image boxes,
contact forms, page counters, HTML snippets, thumbnail rollovers, layered
graphics, and even embed other web pages into their sites. Other new features
include password protection, iPhoto integration, add external files for uploading
with site, archive feature for project collaboration and backup, navigation
submenus, easy email encryption, create graphical buttons for navigation,
copy, add and delete templates, optional vertical and horizontal text wrapping
around other objects, more font settings, background image offsetting option,
and so much more.
Offering users innovation and tools that make sense, users can build
professional and stylish websites that have impact, and without blowing the
budget. With significant changes and improvements to the user interface, plus
twenty-six fresh new themes, ShutterBug is a robust and tightly designed
application, yet remarkably easy to use. At only $50 and less than 3 MBs in
size, ShutterBug Version 2 offers an even bigger bang for the buck.
