Announcing the new Picaboo Editor
It’s been a long time coming, but our new project editor based on the latest HTML5 and related internet standards is here! Our goal is to bring the same easy to use tools with as little change as possible. Why make the change, you ask? Well, it’s because Adobe is no longer supporting the underlying technology known as Flash. As of December 31st, 2020, Adobe has pulled the plug. See Adobe’s Official Announcement to learn more about it:
Adobe announcement
Picaboo–and the industry as a whole–support this move because of the superior features, performance, and security of HTML5 and related technologies which are now the industry standard.
FAQ
Will my old projects work in the new editor?
Your old Flash projects can be converted, but the project’s images have to come out of the archived and be reviewed to see if they work with the new editor. Once the project conversion begins, it takes some time before it is ready for you to preview, edit and order it.
Will my project look the same after upgrading from Flash?
The project might not look the same after upgrading it, so it is crucial to review every page and make adjustments if needed before placing your order.
