Photo Book Software from Albelli: On Adobe Air Using Photobucket’s Open API

Today, Albelli launched their latest, powerful photo album software that is seamlessly integrated with Photobucket via their Open API, the new Albelli tool gives Photobucket’s nearly 40 million users a feature-rich tool with all of the benefits of a desktop application while maintaining the ease and speed of a web application.

Some key features of the Albelli Photo Book software include customization possibilities like varied backgrounds, effects and text options. Albelli is seamlessly integrated with Photobucket, so users can simply drag and drop high-resolution images from both their Photobucket account and desktop computer. Albelli is feature rich, with the ability to upload images while you work, auto recovery, smart page layout, rich text and image editing and a very powerful preview.

Built using Adobe Flex (version 3.0) and running in Adobe Air, Albelli enables swift installation and cross-platform compatibility (Mac, PC and soon Linux). Specifically designed to take images from both online galleries and the user’s hard drive, Albelli offers a superior experience over traditional photo book tools that require either a long time to upload images to an online tool or a long time to download images already posted online for use in an offline tool. Albelli is short for album bellissimo (beautiful photo book) and it’s the premier consumer brand from Amsterdam-based Albumprinter B.V., a leading photo book manufacturer worldwide.
