Released October 16 2023(Version 3.5.2.0)
Dual Screen Support

Support for a second screen has been added in the 3.5.2.0 version of EDA, as a lot of our clients have requested for it. You can now take advantage of the second screen on your desk, to have all your images there and see more images during the creation of your layouts and also have more space in your main screen, to design your layouts more efficiently.
New Language Added

A new language has been added to the software in this version of EDA. So EDA is now available in 5 languages. English, Deutsch, Ελληνικά, Português and Français.
Wedding & Baptism Invitations

A new category along with the necessary templates have been added in this update. This new category, which is named Invitations, include beautiful, fully customizable Wedding & Baptism Invitations. Now you have the ability to design more things in EDA and increase your income through it. Many new templates for invitations will be added constantly, giving you an advantage over your competition.
EDA Editor

An image Editor has been added in the 3.5.2.0 version. It's very useful for basic editing of your images, offering you the most often used adjustments. You can also create very good looking grayscale images or sepia tone. The best part of our Editor though, is that it offers you Non-Destructive Editing.
New Templates & Backgrounds

More than 1000 templates have been added in the 3.5.2.0 version, with up to 10 images. Added to that, the addition of a new bar, that allows you to cut layers in equal parts of 2, 3 & 5 pieces gives you added flexibility when you want to quickly design a layout with many images. Also new backgrounds have been added to the many already included in the software.
Add Custom Layer Size

To the already included Add Image Layer menu a new option have been added, so you can create a specific layer size of your choice. Simply type the width and height of your custom size layer, e.g. 30,5x 20,2cm. If you have your units set on inches then you can type the exact inch number you desire to add in the Width and Height fields.
Cut Layers in 5 Pieces

An improved, much faster and simplified version of the cutting layers option has been implemented in the 3.5.2.0 version. It's now available through a new bar, that has been added in the bottom side of your working area. It's available only when you enter the Manual Mode. Up to this version you could cut layers in 2 & 3 equal pieces. Now the option to cut layers in 5 equal pieces, both Horizontally & Vertically have also been added. You also have the option to merge many layers in one.
Custom Gap When Cutting layers

A very useful addition to the Cut Layers option has been added to this update. You can now create a Custom Gap space, by writing the gap of your choice in the added Custom field. You can type anything in the field, from 1 pixel up to 99 pixels gap. The default gap values, when cutting layers, have also been changed, giving you smaller gaps, in the same values chosen.
Mirror + Copy Layers

A new option has been added in the Layer menu, to Mirror & Copy the layers you select, both Horizontally & Vertically. You can use it when you are creating a layout from scratch, and you want an exact duplicate of the layers you select, to the left or right side of your page.
Change the Used Images Marking

A feature a lot of our clients have requested is to have the option to select the way the used images in an album, are marked. So, along with the previous default, fill with gray color, we have added a new option for you to select. Now, you can select, if you want your images to be marked with fill with grey, (previous option) or with a stoke around them. You also have the choice, if you choose the stroke, to select the color of your stroke.

Single Pages Added

Make Any Text a Mask

Turn instantly any text you type in the software into a Mask. Just type the text you want, and make it the size you want. Right click on it and select from the menu "Make Mask from Text". A mask will be created and will be added as the first item to the current mask collection, so you can apply it immediately to the image you want.
This is a unique feature you can find only in EDA!
Change Albums Location

In this update of EDA you can select the Storage Location you want for your Albums. Move your albums from the default storage location, which is in C, to any other disk you want, internal or external, so if for any reason you have to format your computer you will never loose your albums.
You can select this from the Preferences form under the General options. If you change to a new location all the albums you have already created will be moved to the new location so you can continue working on them.
Drag And Select

You can now make faster selections in Easy Digital Album with the new selection option. Simply Drag And Select just the layers you want to apply properties to. This way you can select anything on a page, from Images to Static layers, Graphics and even Text, much more easily.
Create More Image Groups

An enhancement in the Groups panel has been made so you can create more Image Groups now. It's very useful especially for users that work on smaller resolution screens. In order to do that the width of the group tabs has been reduced.
Any group name that you type, that is too long, is automatically trimmed, in order to keep the tabs small and a Tool tip is shown when you hover over a group tab, displaying its full name.
Change Album Properties

The new Album Properties form allows you to change the properties of an album in the case you want to. You can change the Name of an album, in the case you mistype it and modify the Safe Area and the Cut Area you have previously set.
Drag & Import on Both Panels

The importing of images in this version of EDA 3.5.1.4 has been enhanced even more. Now you can import images in both the Create & Import/Organize panel by dragging them from any folder of your computer.
If you have already imported images in the current album the images will be added to the current group. If you have not imported images a new group with the images you have imported will be created and you can name it accordingly, if you wish.

New features and enhancements in the June 2019 release of Easy Digital Album
Released June 30 2019 (Version 3.5.1.3)
Drag to Import Images

The importing of images in the latest version of EDA has been enhanced. Now you can import images in the Create panel also, by dragging them from any folder of your computer on a blank page. The images will be imported and a layout with the first 7 images will be created automatically.
If you have already imported images in the current album the images will be added to the current group. If you have not imported images a new group with the images you have imported will be created and you can name it accordingly, if you wish.
Sample Images Available

When you save your own Templates in Easy Digital Album, either a single page as a Template or all the pages from a finished album as Templates, now a Sample Image for every Template you save is also saved automatically.
When it's time to use your saved Templates again you have the option of enabling the Sample Images, so you can see what images you have used in these templates and have a visual aid that helps you create your layouts faster.
New Masks Added

A great feature of Easy Digital Album that separates it from the crowd is the ability to use masks on your images and give a unique style to your pages. We constantly design and implement new masks in our app in an effort to always give you new ideas of what you can design in EDA.
In the next version of EDA, which will be available in August 2019, we took it one step further, giving you the ability to create masks in the software from any text that you type.
Cut Pages When Exporting

With this update of EDA you now have the added option to Export your Pages cut in two parts. Instead of a single spread you'll get 2 separate files named Left Page + page number and Right Page + page number accordingly.
This comes handy when you want to create photobooks along with the lay-flat digital album you create. You also have the option to extend the bind area, depending on the type of photobooks you wish to create.
New Mask Name Field

A text field has been added above the Mask option, so you can easily see the name of the mask you have applied to an image. It is very useful when you bring a page back on the stage again for editing.
