Publisher's Description:

Build a virtual boxshot for anything! Build your layouts and create your box using the studio interface. While other box programs simply stretch your images, Just BoxShots has a full featured studio that will allow you to build any box to your specification. Add a multitude of text and graphics to your box to bring out the highlights. Saves out to any size and several viewpoints. 

With Just BoxShots you can create the box faces and build the final output all from within the program itself. You no longer need to use another graphic application to build your box faces. Just BoxShots will let you add images, text and other objects to create a box you can be proud of. Be sure to check out the dozens of the sample boxes we have already created with Just BoxShots! These templates are available when you buy the program. You can have a box shot for your product in minutes!

Just BoxShots Review by the Box Shot Depot:
This review is based on version 2.04a of the product.

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars
Features: Four Preset Box angles for 2-sided boxes. It's strength is it's 2D editing capabilities (see below)
Possibilities: Boxes, angled CD cases.
2D Editing: The best vector-based 2D editing capability of any product we have seen. Add multiple text boxes, images and lines complete with rotation, resizing, shadows, some real nice gradient features and more. There are 2 problems though with the editor:  (1) it has no undo command (2) the copy and paste doesn't work the way one would expect it to.
Templates: 12 (but more like sample boxes than useful templates).
Image Formats: bmp, jpg, gif, pcx or png. (??check??)
Image Quality: 4 / 5  with algorithm selection for image rendering.
Ease of Use: Very easy to use and switch back and forth between design mode and preview mode. 
Does NOT have: Lacks free rotation, shadows, reflections, directional lighting.
Recommendation: It's really nice to be able to do the 2D design work inside the program (rather than going back and forth between a graphics program and the boxmaking program). You can make a good looking box quickly this way. This is a first release of the product and we are really looking forward to the next release when hopefully some of the bugs have been worked out because this product has great potential. Worth the download.
