The latest version, which will be available as a free upgrade to existing customers in active support, introduces a range of new applications.

Taopix chief executive James Gray said that the majority of the enhancements had been built into the software following feedback from customers.

"These enhancements are all about making the software quicker and easier to use and adding new templates and functions that give the customer many more design options when creating photobooks," he added.

Meanwhile, the company's new starter kit, which is available from December, includes a comprehensive range of templates and designs, enabling them to immediately offer their customers a broad range of photobook template options.
