What's new
This new version of iBorderFX is still a work-in-progress, some of the features are not yet complete.
I'm releasing this preview version so people can start using it, as a lot of the features work.
I will endeavor to release new builds at least once a week until it's ready for release.
iBorderFX 1.2 requires Mac OS X Leopard
- Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard), or later
- iPhoto '08 or '09
Please be aware that this is beta quality software. It may have bugs, including bugs which may cause iPhoto to crash, and possibly cause data loss.
