Publisher's Description:

True BoxShot for Photoshop is an extremely powerful and high quality Photoshop plugin, which will definitely bust your product marketing to the next level.

The advanced mechanisms of True BoxShot produce boxshot images with high precision. Sub pixel accuracy leaves no chance for fuzzy edges, making images look clean and nice. Customizable rendering options allow the selection of the resolution up to impressive 3000x3000 pixels.

The program comes with a set of predefined templates, allowing you to create 3d and 2d images of software boxes, CD/DVD cases, screenshots, or member cards instantly. All of the models have adjustable width, height and depth and can be easily reshaped, rotated and moved. You can also change the perspective of an object and add some nice special effects.
All changes are applied and displayed in a special preview window in real time.

To give an image a more natural look True BoxShot offers special effects like Soft Shadows and Light along with Soft Reflection. These effects are optional and have highly configurable parameters, which you can modify at your discretion, so there's room for your imagination.

If you plan to use your boxshot in complex compositions, the transparency support will come in handy. Using the alpha channel you can create transparent .png images smoothly and easily.

If the color of a boxshot matches the background color, you can highlight the edges using the Wireframe. Pick out the contour color to keep the boxshot stay sharp in any environment.

True BoxShot will give you a good deal by providing a professional image to a product. Sleek 3D boxshots will make your product stand out from similar software, so don't miss this chance!
