What is dotScrap?
dotScrap is a revolutionary new technology which allows FotoFusion users to find and download graphic content safely.
These graphics include high-quality embellishments, templates, kits, project guides and pre-made pages -- designed for both hobbyists and pro-photographers. These materials are instantly accessible with a high-speed Internet condition, available by searching in the Marketplace or through the Search editor by keyword or type.

What is the dotScrap Marketplace?
The Marketplace is where you can find dotScrap graphics, preview them, and launch them into FotoFusion.
Some content is created by LumaPix' skilled graphic artists; other material is offered by major scrapbooking and album manufacturers, or top-level graphic or photographic studios.
The collection is an ever-growing, on demand resource for graphic embellishments and templates, all located on the LumaPix server.
