(openPR) - FotoInsight of Cambridge assured the FIFA photo book product in the world cup host country

Cambridge, UK. 28 April 2006. – This summer will see millions of people worldwide re-arrange their daily routines and work life to squeeze in as much footie as possible! In time for the football world cup Cambridge based FotoInsight is going to launch through its German service an innovative range of photo books with a FIFA license displaying up to 312 images through its online photo processing service. From Cambridge Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments: “Pictures of matches, holidays and parties are fading away in shoeboxes and increasingly on hard drives of aging computers. FotoInsight’s mission is to prevent photographic memories from fading. A printed album, like the upcoming FIFA protective photo book, helps to preserve all the memories of a great world cup in order, crisp colours and accessible.

The simplest method of getting a photo album with digital images is printing it. Since late 2005 FotoInsight offers digital camera users a personal photo book from their digital photographs. The personal photo book can be laid out at fotoinsight.co.uk/book in the comfort of the own home.

Volume of photos taken more than tripled
While consumers took an average of 150 photos per year when using analogue cameras, digital camera users are releasing the shutter more than three times as often as the conventional amateur photographer, taking about 470 photos on average. According to FotoInsight, most digital photographers view and select their photos on a home computer. All those digital photos languishing on hard drives could finally see the light of day with the time-saving innovation. The digital photo service FotoInsight states to deliver to 21 European countries within one week of ordering online. Getting luxurious, hardbound, coffee-table style photo books is easy and set to become the latest must-have innovation in photo albums. Once the user has arrived at FotoInsight’s website and has clicked on the photo book icon displayed along side attractive photo calendars, a window appears in the familiar file tree style with text and animated illustrations explaining the upload. The user selects pictures selected through drag & drop directly from the computer. The order of the pictures can be changed after the upload through a range of interactive photo book editing tools. The cost of £19.99 / €27.99 per printed photo book (plus p&p) also includes the option to use online storage for photo sharing in FotoInsight’s online photo album facility one month free.
