[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]A PPA study in the USA indicated that 1 in 3 professional photographers use a version of Darkroom to automate their businesses.

ExpressDigital was founded in 1994 when a hobby photographer and a Windows programmer proposed a way to create custom baseball cards at Little League games on-site. Express Digital Graphics, Inc. was born and quickly became the industry-leading provider of professional digital imaging workflow, e-commerce and lab connectivity solutions.

In 2004, Darkroom was created specifically for the enthusiast and professional photographers to provide a software solution that automates most requirements of any size photography business. In 2005, the awards and accolades came in when Darkroom won every prestigious photography solution award and corporations like Carnival Cruises, Sears Portrait Studios, Noritsu, Canon and more began demanding the Darkroom solution for their proprietary systems.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Darkroom Pro

Darkroom Software (formerly Express Digital) allows the Event or Studio Photographer to streamline their workflow and gives the user a single program that performs all the tasks they are likely to use from capture to print.

If you are looking for an all-in-one solution then Darkroom Software is the ideal choice.

Darkroom Software allows direct capture wirelessly or tethered to pro cameras. Automate custom creation of limitless print products with colour, vignette and text variations, over 200 built-in product templates and a library of regularly-updated downloadable templates.

Dongle Version comes with a hardware dongle that must be used in the USB port of your computer. The Reg Code Version requires a on-time registration code but means the software is tied to that machine.
