Jim Everett demoed FotoMagico on "Lab With Leo Laporte" Episode 104 in November. He showed how to create interesting and compelling high-definition slideshows with accompanying music, for display on large screen TVs, to engage and impress people.

A big "Merci Beaucoup" to the readers of MacGeneration who voted FotoMagico "Best Creative Application 2007" at the MacGeneration Trophées.

Pierre Groleau of Application Systems Paris accepted the award on our behalf.

Timothy R. Butler, editor-in-chief of Open for Business, gives FotoMagico an "Editor's Choice" Award:

Boinx has really outdone itself with this product. FotoMagico can easily be imagined as the Photoshop of photo slideshow creation, a perfect complement to iPhoto or Aperture that offers more robust functionality for a specific need. FotoMagico demonstrates what a product can be like if a software developer really understands a problem and stays focused on solving that specific problem.

Watch no lesser Mac personality than "The Missing Manual" author David Pogue himself demonstrate in this video, how much fun stop motion animation using Boinx's iStopMotion really is. In fact, it's so fun he'd rather talk about spending the weekend with his son, creating entertaining stopmotion shorts, than about the cameras he was supposed to review in the first place...

So, to me, that was the perfect weekend of inspiration and magic and creativity. That’s what technology can do.

Virginia Chilcote reviews FotoMagico 2 for Mousebytes, the newsletter of the Bay Area Mac User Group Florida, July 2007 issue, page 8:

iPhoto is limited where FotoMagico is a more complete and extensive slideshow program. Both have Ken Burns effects (pan and zoom) but iPhoto's version is very elementary compared to FotoMagico's output that I can't even compare. FotoMagico's finished slideshows are professional, so intuitive but powerful. [...] I really like this program and on a scale of 5 mice, I would rate it all 5 mice.

Kirk Hiner reviews FotoMagico 2 for Applelinks.com:

Without reading one instruction, I opened a new project, selected my output destination, and was dragging photos from iPhoto into the FotoMagico timeline. Within five minutes, I was controlling effects and adding titles. In less than half an hour, I'd put together a three minute slideshow set to music I had stored in iTunes. It really is that simple, and yet the end result looks as if I'd spent hours on it.

The statement we like best is this:

Whether you're creating a slideshow of the kids or of a vacation for family and friends, or you're presenting photos for a business presentation or conference, FotoMagico presents you with almost all the tools you'll need while not making it feel like work.

We strive to make our apps not feel like work while at the same time enabling you to accomplish professional results. Seems as if Kirk agrees that we met that goal.

In the end, FotoMagico is awarded a 4/5 rating and Kirk concludes:

If you're working with photos on any level, whether you should be working with FotoMagico 2 shouldn't even be a question.

When it comes to showing off photos, FotoMagico 2.0.1 Pro is a photographer's dream come true; and it's packed with enough functionality to impress most presenters

Lesa Snider King for Macworld and rates FotoMagico with 4 of 5 mice.

Ilene Hoffmann reviewed FotoMagico 2 for MacNN:

The short story: If you need to create a photo slide show, then you really want this software! [...] I was very impressed with how effortlessly I was able to throw the slide show together. In under two hours, I had an acceptable presentation, which received high praise from viewers.
