Q: Why are you changing your desktop software platform yet again in 2022?

The decision to cease support for Easy Designer was not taken lightly. We realise it is one of the best Windows based photo book design applications available. However, the macOs version has lagged well behind the Windows version. Additionally, the ongoing payment of the associated license fees by Cahoots was viewed as not sustainable in the longer term. Given the previous disruptions caused by software changes, Cahoots is now moving to a generic photo book design software platform. In so doing we are turning our backs on the traditional photo book business model. With a personal license for YouDesign Photo Book software (or any of our other recommended tools), you will be able to generate full resolution print-ready files that can be taken to any print house with book production facilities (or simply create lower resolution versions for sharing). By using YouDesign Photo Book or other commercial book design applications, you will no longer be tied to Cahoots as your book production partner . (But naturally we stand ready to produce your project should you select us to do so.) Although every customer will need to purchase their own YouDesign Photo Book software license, Cahoots will subsidise the cost by offering two voucher codes for subsequent use.

Q: What format is required for the audio?

Due to the technical limitations of the app, the audio files must be .mp3 In case you have a different format, it is easily converted to .mp3 with appropriate utilities.
