Just In Time for The Holidays, Corel Announces Paint Shop Xtras - Winter Edition

Nov. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Corel Corporation announced today the release of Paint Shop Xtras - Photo Album Winter Collection, a new addition to the Paint Shop Xtras series that includes over 700 festive winter and holiday-inspired photo album and scrapbook templates to complement Paint Shop Photo Album 5. These powerful, yet easy-to-use templates allow users to build photo albums and scrapbooks in minutes.

Novice digital photographers and those with little spare time can add to their collection of Paint Shop Xtras with hundreds of thematic layouts to showcase favorite winter and holiday photos. After photos have been placed onto a layout, they can be saved, printed, or turned into a personalized, hardcover coffee table book. With any of the Paint Shop Xtras Photo Album page templates, creating an elaborate digital scrapbook or thematic photo album is quick and easy while allowing for individual creativity. Users can simply drag photos into the album page templates and add their own captions or journal entries, then share them with friends and family.

The Photo Album Winter Collection is the fourth in a series of Xtras for Paint Shop Photo Album. In October, the first three editions in the series were announced and include Scrapbook Templates, Pastel Collection and Autumn Collection with each offering designs that continue to build an ever-expanding creative library.

"People are embracing digital technology to express themselves and share their special moments with others using photo albums and scrapbooks," said Brett Denly, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, Corel. "The scrapbooking market alone is significant, topping $2 billion last year. With so many people capturing special moments using digital technology, our goal is to provide products like Paint Shop Photo Album 5 and Xtras to allow anyone to express their creativity with a minimal learning curve."
