- Added stepper buttons next to the font size field in the inspector window. This makes it much easier to resize text.
- Key Improvements:
- iScrapbook can now read "Template Libraries" which contain multiple page/album templates. Previously, each template had to be added separately.
- Previously, when an album template was added to the software, the page size wasn't read correctly which resulted in the template being placed in the wrong folder -- fixed.
- Fixed a problem with the included "Suede" templates (the picture frames & text were incorrectly placed on the background layer)
- Fixed a crash that would occur when printing documents with images whose settings (hue, saturation, image effects, etc.) had been changed. This only occurred under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

- Made displaying of page thumbnails much faster.
- When a large page is selected, we immediately load a page "preview" while the actual page is being loaded (so the user doesn't have to look at the previously selected page or a blank screen).
- Added the ability to create letter and A4 albums in landscape orientation (previously landscape pages had to be set up as a custom size).
- Renamed the "Color Wash" effect as "Tint". Also added Tint controls to the Color tools in the inspector window when an image is selected.
- When a background image is set for a page and proportional scaling is selected, it now completely covers the background.
- The up/down buttons in the template selector window weren't working -- fixed.
- Photo objects (photos with a built-in mask for a transparent background) sometimes appeared with white backgrounds -- fixed.
- High resolution images occasionally were drawn at low resolution -- fixed.
- Standalone inspector windows were sometimes being incorrectly repositioned under the selected graphics (standalone inspectors shouldn't move) -- fixed.
- When an album is deleted, it is moved to the trash. If the user changes their mind, it can be dragged out of the trash and double-clicked to add it back to the scrapbook library.
- EPS images aren't a native image format on Mac OS X although they can be displayed with the help of a converter. The converter is very slow so as soon as an EPS image is added to a design, we convert it to a PDF.
- New built-in updater system allows the application to be automatically updated without downloading and running an installer application.
