Put your portfolio on your iPad

Foliobook is the iPad portfolio app that allows you to create your own magazine-like home page.
Professional Photographer Magazine said “Its the most unique customisable portfolio app”.
Not only does it allow you to express your work and your individuality, Foliobook is also fast and
easy to use. As an extra bonus, support for both orientations means your custom home page can be rotated just as easily as your picture content, its almost two portfolios in one.

Join the Pros and put your branding first

Foliobooks deep customisation capability allows your branding
to stand out while the apps design hides management details away until you need them, as
a result its always your images and branding that come first. Pro photographers love this
approach as do online magazines like Professional Photographer and Photo District News.

Foliobook can be used by any kind of photographer artist and designer, whether you are an advertising
photographer presenting their work to a client, a wedding photographer showing their work to
a couple about to be married, or a designer showing moodboard and finished pieces to a potential
client, Foliobook’s minimalist design allows your creativity to be at the forefront. See what other photographers have done with the app in our Hall of Fame

Organise your work in a snap

When Foliobook’s read-only lock is off you can use gestures to easily add, remove and manage
your image, organise them into galleries or create and modify your branding.

Foliobook’s image management allows you to add your pictures rapidly. Foliobook allows you to
load many images with a single operation, now you can load your iPad pictures quickly with no more ‘pecking’ at each image and waiting. Or load a whole folder in a go (currently limited to 25 images at a single time).

Show your work

Once you’ve added pictures, use Foliobook’s custom transition engine to show your work off
gracefully. Foliobook has a dissolve transition suitable for very large images, a wipe transition
for normal images and a unique ‘Foliobook’ transition which emulates moving images in a portfolio
box. You can adjust the timing of transitions and the fit of images so that even if your pictures are not sized precisely for the iPad they are automatically fitted into the view.

Use pinch gestures to zoom into the detail in a large image, slide your finger to find details and
just tap to return to the slideshow.

A swipe down reveals an elegant thumbnail view which you can use to speedily navigate to a
particular image. Everything is achieved with graceful gestures and help on which gestures to use is just a double tap away on the context sensitve help. And when you are done with viewing a gallery of images, just pinch to leave the gallery

Be productive

Foliobook has great usability and support. Context sensitive help means that you are never
more than a couple of taps away from a handy guide to the gestures used in part of an app. The rich use of gestures means that navigating around the app is fluid and like the best apps on the iPad.
Our email support and Facebook support means you can get help fast when you need it.
