# New features

The new version 4.6 of the Foto XL software has a new, streamlined design plus lots of great new features:

## Speed and reliability

The image loader has been fully revised for faster and more reliable rendering.

The updating process is more stable and efficient.

The ordering process has been simplified and improved.

## The new Photo Show

The Photo Show is now a seperate program and can run separately from the Foto XL software.
The Photo Show can be launched directly from within the Foto XL software. It can be used to insert selected photos into a photo product and place your order.

There are lots of great new effects which can be fine tuned within the Photo Show.

Editing and saving image EXIF data has also been simplified and optimised.

## New functions in the CEWE PHOTOBOOK Editor

The new tool bar is more intuitive, with clearer tool bar groups for editing the photo book pages.

It is now possible to copy and paste complete photo book pages as well as several photos and texts with all their formatting.

A finished or work in progress CEWE PHOTOBOOK can now be converted to different sizes.
Changing sizes is only possible between sizes with the same aspect ratio, e.g. a square books to larger square books etc.

Square | Landscape | Portrait
--- | --- | ---
Photo book XL (30 x 30cm) to Photo book square (21 x 21 cm) and vice versa | Photo book XXL Landscape (42 x 30 cm) to Photo book large, landscape (28 x 21 cm) and vice versa | Photo book XXL Portrait format (28 x 36 cm) to Photo book large, portrait format (21 x 28 cm) and vice versa

It is unfortunaley not possible to convert between Small and other CEWE PHOTOBOOKS.

## New features of the CEWE PHOTOBOOK Assistant

The CEWE PHOTOBOOK Assistant now uses styles.
A style is a saved combination of backgrounds and layouts for your photo book. These include the border and shadow settings for your photos.
You can use pre-defined styles or create your own with the Style Editor.

The new face recognition feature will priotise photos of people's faces when creating your CEWE PHOTOBOOK.

## New calendar features

New calendar layouts have been added and the colour schemes have been updated.

## New photo products

The CEWE PHOTOBOOK in XXL Landscape format is now also available with a hard cover (with photos) in addition to the faux leather and linen covers.

New products have also been added to the greeting cards, calendar and photo gifts sections.

## The download area

Our download area (found via the "Download more" buttons...) now offers a wider selection of image masks, backgrounds, cliparts and content.
