Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 10, 2010 -- COUTURE BOOK today announced availability of a new book plug-in that allows users of Aperture 3, the new version of Apple’s powerful photo editing and management software, to design and order museum-quality photo books directly within Aperture. The entire COUTURE BOOK collection is now accessible through the plug-in, enabling photographers to seamlessly order one of 29 unique styles in various colors and materials in four available sizes. The COUTURE BOOK plug-in for Aperture 3 makes it easier than ever to create incredibly beautiful and unique hand-sewn press-printed photo books.

“Before this development, it could take days to layout a professional quality book,” said Phyllis Lane, co-founder of COUTURE BOOK. “With Aperture 3 and the COUTURE BOOK plug-in, the entire book design process is sped up dramatically.”

“This new streamlined method of ordering is perfect for our customers,” said Rodrigo Coelho, co-founder of COUTURE BOOK. “Photographers can retouch their images in Aperture, and then present their best work in a COUTURE BOOK— one of the most unique and respected books in the world.”

The plug-in, available for download at couturebook.com/aperture, allows photographers to build their photo books using themed templates professionally designed by COUTURE BOOK. Users simply download and run the installer, then re-launch Aperture 3. The COUTURE BOOK themes appear in the theme chooser menu with previews of each book style. Pre-designed templates make it easy for users to get started with their book designs.

All COUTURE BOOK production is done in the USA by master craftspeople with high attention to detail and utilizing only the best archival materials from around the world. Each book is custom made-to-order and hand-sewn, just like couture dresses that are individually made for each client. Users can select from an endless variety of options, including the book covers, paper texture, endsheets and more. A concierge-level customer experience, and world-class digital printing matches the quality of manufacturing. Each book is truly a one-of-a-kind piece that will be cherished for generations.
