Introducing Bosco's Foto Ensemble
Bosco's Foto Ensemble is a new, easy way to collect, annotate, organize, and store your
digital fotos. Foto Ensemble runs on Mac OS X, Mac OS Classic, and Windows, allowing you
to easily share your fotos with friends who use other platforms. Foto Ensemble lets you
write extensive notes (or even just short ones) about each of your fotos, so that you
can remember important things about them later.
Organize and annotate your fotos
Related fotos are stored in ".BFE" files. You might keep the 30 fotos from your
trip to the lake in one BFE file. Then, to send those pictures to a friend, you simply
send the bfe file or make it available for download from your web site. You can add the
captions you like to the fotos in your BFE documents. In one BFE document, you might want to
add "Description", "Location", and "Time/Date" to each foto.
In another BFE document, you might want "Bosco's thoughts". How you annotate your
fotos is up to you. You can quickly search through all of the BFE documents on your
hard drive with Foto Ensemble's built-in Search window.
Grab fotos from your digital camera
On Mac OS X, Foto Ensemble works with your digital camera, allowing you to import your
fotos directly into your Foto Ensemble documents. If you do computer training, you can take
and organize screen shots, add comments, etc. Screen shots work on all supported platforms.
We will soon have scanner support on Mac OS X, and expect to have digital camera and scanner
support for Windows XP in the future.

Gather fotos from the web
You can drag fotos from your web browser and drop them into Foto Ensemble. You could use
Foto Ensemble to create a stock chart analysis. Or create a compendium of pictures
from a sporting event. Or create a wish list for Santa Claus usiing pictures from your
favorite shopping sites. The possibilities are only limited by the fotos you can find.
Foto Ensemble is FREE
Perhaps the best part of Foto Ensemble is that the base product is available to single
users for free and always will be free. With the free Foto Ensemble, you can create, open,
save, and modify BFE files. You can add pictures from any supported source (files, cameras,
screen shots, drag and drop, etc.). You can add the captions you like to your pictures.
And if you ever need to export your fotos out of Foto Ensemble, you can! All the base
features are free. We want everyone to use Foto Ensemble.
If you would like to edit the fotos in your BFE documents, you will need a license
for Bosco's Foto Trimmer. Or you can drag or paste your fotos into another image editor
and paste them back when you are done editing.
