Announcing Light Blue: Photo 1.5.2

Posted on Wednesday 21 October 2009

Hardly a day goes by when we don't get an email from a happy user saying how much time they've saved by using Light Blue: Photo. We love hearing from Real Users, especially when they suggest new things which we could be doing to make Light Blue: Photo even better. For version 1.5.2, we've been listening to what people have to say, and have not only fixed some annoyances which people found, but have also added some new options for the Profit and Loss reports, so they now work for people who operate on a cash accounting basis.

Whether you tried out Light Blue: Photo back in the early days before we'd added all the great new stuff to it, are in the middle of a trial, or are one of the happy band who are already using Light Blue: Photo to help them work quicker, faster and more productively, we're sure that the new version will have something in it for you. Just visit the download page to get started.
