Revival for the photo album

The photo album is experiencing a revival. Not the traditional album with ground-taped photos, but the digital variant. The largest book producer in Europe, CeWe Color, sold last year more than 1 million digital books. The expectation for 2009 is at least double that number. With analog cameras, you had to create your own photo album, which was often a time-consuming job.
With the digital camera in many families the photographs were stored on the computer and that was it. There were some albums via the Internet, but those programs were not always as easy to use.

Through the development of the software many more people are now in a position itself to make photo albums. Also a director of a web print photo specialist notes: the people have discovered digital photo albums. Last year, the number of orders for holiday albums already increased with 75 percent compared to 2006, this year we have seen a further increase of 200 percent.

The UK has more than 10 million digital cameras, where each year more than 5 billion photos to be made, in 2004, only about 1.7 million had a digital camera..
