1STEIN - Photo Book Publishing Software

The photobook and personalized print product market has experienced immense growth in the past years. In 2006, KODAK entered this market by partnering with 1STEIN to develop a desktop publishing application specialized on photo books and printed photo gifts. 1STEIN is known since 1999 for its innovative image editing algorithms in products like CodedColor PhotoStudio. In 2015, 1STEIN extended the Desktop Publisher with a Macintosh version and a Storefront & Backoffice production suite. 1STEIN has now finalized the suite with an Online Photobook Designer in HTML5, thus covering the whole web2print workflow with an out-of-the-box solution. The 3P Online Designer is equvalent in features to the 3P Desktop Publisher, except that it runs inside any HTML5 capable browser and needs no installation on the client side. It uses the same templates, layouts and product definitions as the desktop version, is easy to install and requires no extra database on the server. These features make it unique on the market of photo print software concerning speed, feature richness, stability and minimal maintenance effort. The print provider can connect the Online Designer to his existing backend, or run it together with the 3P Shop & Backoffice. It comes with a Project Manager and an Image Upload utility, allowing the consumer to upload large amounts of images in the background while working on his print project.
