5 Point Rating from Layers Magazine
"ShutterBug is a bargain and includes a ton of
templates to get you rolling. Add a little
elegance to your portfolio online or just get
goofy with some fun family shots—at only $29,
this is great photo-to-Web shareware that
you’ll really want to share." — Daniel M. East,
Layers Magazine, 2005 Premiere Issue
I feel empowered, not overwhelmed, by the features.
"I did create a decent site using Dreamweaver a couple of years ago. However, with
ShutterBug, I can do what I want probably 10 times faster... and it looks better,
has a great slide show capability, the ability to easily customize in lots of ways with
my own photos as backgrounds. The picture processing capability of ShutterBug is
absolutely great. Shutterbug is 10X as fast for 1/10 the cost of Dreamweaver for
doing custom formatted photo albums and print media."
— Malcolm Young, Retired Nuclear Training Manager
Shutterbug is an easy-to-use and effective
tool for both amateur and pro photographers
looking to export their work to the Internet.
"Shutterbug is a WYSIWYG Web-site builder designed
for the sharing photographer in all of us...We liked
the bundled templates, which makes it easy to get a
professional-looking layout in a snap."

We were able to share our vacation with friends and family - realtime.
"Even with a couple of rum punches under my belt, ShutterBug made it a cinch to
update my Web page one evening - not the usual activity one seeks on vacation."

What I like about Mac applications is simple. And simplicity. Open it up.
Click around. Get things done. So it is with Xtralean’s ShutterBug.
"There’s two important keys to ShutterBug (besides the fact that it’s simple to use
and looks professionally done): speed and quality. Speed is how quickly you can
create a photo album with drag and drop, WYSIWYG. Uh, that’s ‘true’ WYSIWYG.
What you see on the screen is what you’ll see on the screen of the photo album.
It’s never a surprise. Quality is what you expect to pay for and you won’t be
disappointed."

You folks continue to amaze me. Dedication, great products, beautiful
website, and instant, friendly customer support. Class all the way.
"It is very refreshing to see a company focused from the start on the customer
instead of themselves. You have wonderful products, a beautiful website, and a
great attitude...Being an Apple enthusiast since the late 70's, I have seen it all.
Rarely do I get as excited about a product as I did this evening."
— Cory Cooper, Salem, NH, USA
The best bit is that the results do look the same on different platforms
and browsers (OSX, Win, Linux).
"I just bought your package the other day, and to cut a short story (regarding the
time I had to spend creating my web-pages with your ShutterBug) even shorter,
the program is amazing. Many thanks for affordable and highly functional
software!"
— Dr. Till Eggers, Ecology Group, University of Osnabrück, Osnabrück,
Germany
For a very low cost, your app includes all the graphic quality that a
creative Mac user needs to publish images on the web, very
intuitively without being an HTML expert.
"I'm an architect, so for more than 15 years, I’ve worked with different graphics
applications on the Mac. My original intention was to find a good app to publish a
photo gallery on the web. I had begun with apps like 'Dreamweaver', but it was
like gaze factory!!! I'm very happy to have discovered ShutterBug, which is so easy
to use, intuitive, creative… in one word: very mac ! Many thanks to the developers
for their beautiful and efficient work."
— Joë l Fontaine, Architect, Belgium

I was ga-ga about ImageWell and now I am going bonkers over
ShutterBug
"For $29, this feature rich slide show program is a boon. I know I couldn't do
without it in my arsenal of imaging tools." Full Review.

inexpensive way to publish their photo albums on the world wide web"
