Kool Tools: Business Card Shop 7 for OS X
Chronos' Business Card Shop 7 for Mac OS X (10.11 or later) sports a completely redesigned interface plus maps integration so users can more easily show their customers exactly where their place of business is located.
The interface redesign sees the Smart Inspector replaced with dedicated inspectors in sidebar for convenient one window use. Also, the interface has been streamlined to bring focus to the design canvas and maximize its area.
There are now standalone inspectors for users with large screens. A new photo browser supports Apple's Photos application, face searching, favorite searching, and place searching. An Auto Enhance feature offers one-click corrections to photos.
Business Card Shop 7 also adds more paper texture overlays for photos, a glass texture overlays for photos, "old film look" overlays for photos (8 overlays in 3 categories: dust & scratches, dust, crackle), eight new photo filters, a vibrance photo effect, a line art photo effect, and draggable special effects.
Business Card Shop supports 700-plus card stocks, including those from Avery, PaperDirect, NEATO, and more. It comes with over 210 pre-designed templates for over 210 different professions. It also comes with a collection of artwork (over 1.4 GB in size) from artists all over the world.
A fully functional, 30-day trial version can be downloaded from Chronos' website (www.chronosnet.com). It costs $39.99 for a single user license and $69.99 for a family pack.
