YSI 2 Delivers!!! To put it in one word...WOW!!! This highly anticipated update of the already incredible original YSI Album Design Software surpasses all expectations. As Professional photographers we are always on the lookout for ways to streamline our workflow and offer the best in customer satisfaction. Simply put in this hard economy, Quality matters. Martin Schembri and his team of designers have exceeded our expectations.There are many advances in this software so here are some highlights.First, Auto Album. In the YSI 2 Lightroom screen there is a Blue Power Button that takes you to a sorting table allowing you to choose and sort your photos in the order that you wish. Then with the just the push of the Process button,YSI 2 will quickly design the album for you at lighting speed. You then have the option of reviewing and changing your templates to your liking by alternating between different templates located on the right of the screen. How does this help? If you ever had that mental block after a long wedding shoot, just allow the Auto Album to be the creative talent guiding you in the design of your album. Your creative juices are expanded with just the click of a button.Here are some of the many other options available:

Most important is the new feature of choosing a monthly option of using this software for those photographers that work only during the peak season. Overall I can honestly say that the new and improvedYSI 2 is well worth the wait.This software will save us all time along with allowing us to improve our business workflow.
My recommendation:
