This November we're launching the new PhotoKey family, including PhotoKey 3 and PhotoKey 3 Pro. Over the next few days we'll be releasing snippets of information to whet your appetite in advance of the release.

To start with, let's take a quick look at the enhanced PhotoKey interface. We've had a lot of positive feedback about PhotoKey 2's simplicity and general ease-of-use, so we didn't want to reinvent the wheel unnecessarily. However, there were definite areas that could benefit from improvement, not least the Position section.

Users of PhotoKey 1 and PhotoKey 2 will be pleased to hear that PhotoKey 3 now features positioning of your layers directly on the canvas, enabling you to move, rotate and scale them by dragging with the mouse. That means no more fiddling with sliders in the toolbox - unless you want to, of course, as the precision controls are still there (with a few extra enhancements of their own).

Here's a preview of the new position tools:

Pricing is hugely important to anybody considering new software. We're launching the new PhotoKey family with a Holiday Season Discount, which means the prices look like this:

Upgrade discounts will be available to all current PhotoKey 1, PhotoKey 2 and PhotoKey 2 Pro users.

In the next sneak peek we'll take a look at some more of the new improvements, so stay tuned...
