MAGIX PHOTOSTORY DELUXE GETS A BOOST IN PERFORMANCE!

MAGIX releases a new version of award-winning photo slideshow software, Photostory Deluxe, featuring significant performance upgrades.

MAGIX sets powerful new standards for speed, colour processing and high-end effects in digital photo presentation.

Berlin, September 25th, 2017 – The latest version of MAGIX Photostory Deluxe represents a significant upgrade in terms of performance. High-resolution image material is now processed up to five times faster, which is evident through perfectly smooth previews. Advanced full image editing enables precise photo optimization directly within the program. With new photo effects, MAGIX focuses on quality and individuality.

NEW FEATURES 

✔ Enhanced performance & technology upgrades
Everything for superior design is included, giving slideshows a high-gloss finish with high- resolution 4K images. Processing is now five times faster thanks to new, innovative, dynamic resolution reduction. Customers also have access to perfectly smooth previews.

✔ Greater precision for better results: 16-bit deep colour
A fully reworked workflow chain with 16-bit deep colour precision enables even more creative freedom with effects editing and prevents image artefacts in colour transitions.

✔ Unique slideshows created with the huge range of unique effects
Over 1,500 intros/outros, transitions, background noise and songs for popular themes such as vacation and travel have been completely redesigned in a clear new layout. Now includes five new professional high-end effects for enhancing photos. Photostory also offers one of the most popular effects around, "lens reflections".

✔ The best functions just get better and better

The program's most important functions have been enhanced too. The popular Photostory Wizard feature's interface has been optimized and can now be used for quick photo import. Full screen editing is even more advanced and can also be used in the main interface.

Photostory Deluxe is available now in stores and online.

MAGIX is going all out to dominate multimedia; Adobe is trailing behind. As you may or may not know, Sony has pulled out of the creative multimedia software race by selling off its Creative Software range of applications that includes Vegas (video editor), Sound Forge (audio editor) and Acid (DAW).

MAGIX has a superlative attribute is that it has applications for just about everybody! The range of applications can be likened to an infinite layer of multimedia tangents cut from key audio/visual applications. This has the advantage of a pronounced seamlessness interface throughout.

Photostory Deluxe 2017 shares its DNA with Movie Edit Pro, which was cut from the Music Maker DAW application many moons ago. As you might know, both Music Maker and the range of MAGIX video editing software applications had blossomed wonderfully!

SPLICE
Above: Animation effects of still images within Photostory Deluxe. Photostory Deluxe can be seen as a marriage between a video editor, photo editor, and slideshow application such as PowerPoint. The result is very compelling… What's more is that Photostory lends itself to just about anyone! Create a digital photo/video book of your precious family moments; how about stunning intros and outros for your YouTube videos; how about a digital portfolio/showcase reel? The possibilities are there!

Above: Photo editing in Photostory Deluxe. As expected, you can output your creations to most video formats and create a DVD/BluRay disc. 

IN USE
Above: The Photostory Deluxe interface in more depth.

For the most part the user interface is straightforward; Photostory makes for a simple fuss free video editor. However, the interface can get a little confusing when incorporating animation and transition effects. It can take a while to commit the menus to memory. With a bit of effort, you could create intros and outros that resemble Adobe After Effects! Photostory can be a great tool for YouTube content creators who are starting out, on a budget, and/or don't require the kind of functionality and power of a full blown video editor such as Video Pro X (review coming soon).







Above: What you are seeing is the automatic creation of a slideshow via a selection of pictures and music soundtracks. Below: The titling aspect of Photostory Deluxe; it works just like a video editing application.

PHOTO/VIDEO COLOUR MATCHING

One of the many great aspects of Photostory Deluxe is that you can take the colour attributes of a photo or video and add it to different photos and videos - even if the photos/videos were taken with a different camera/camcorder to create a uniformed look. Below: Transition and fades.
CONCLUSIONIn the world of smartphone photography and videography, Photostory Deluxe is a must have! I'm sure you've got great material on your phone and/or in the cloud doing absolutely nothing. Photostory Deluxe will transform your videos and photos into works of art. Make a simple slideshow out of your photos and add some background music! Hey, you make your own royalty free music using the free version of Music Maker or any of the commercial versions.

MAKING A WISH
The Multimedia Designer in me would want to see a means for creating interactive presentations in a similar vein to PowerPoint. DVD/BluRay have limited interactions but an executable CD ROM/DVD/BluRay would be ideal for interactive displays and kiosks. It'll make for a means of creating interactive promotional materials for creatives such as bands,filmmakers, photographers, and so on. Or output to HTML5 for online learning. I can see it now… MAGIX Multimedia Designer… 

SCORE
Photostory Deluxe is a great presentation creator...

Photostory Deluxe scores a spectacular... Synapse Circuit Platinum!
