Telling
West Trenton, NJ, November
29, 2004 -- dotPhoto Inc. (www.dotPhoto.com)
today announced the release of dotPhoto Show™, a new tool
that enables digital photographers to add music, voice and
special effects to their photos -- creating the
next-generation in digital story telling. This
easy-to-use feature of the dotPhoto® online photo sharing and
printing web site can also add multimedia stories and
PowerPoint® presentations to any web site using dotPhoto's
powerful "Link" function.
Using customers' own digital images, the dotPhoto Show allows
users to create personalized digital stories by selecting from
a wide variety of special effects including music, voice,
themed frames, and transitions such as fades, dissolves and
wipes. Beginners can create their own dotPhoto Show from
any of their online photo albums with just a single click of
the mouse. Advanced users can become
"directors" of their own dotPhoto Shows, choosing
from hundreds of special effects and enhancements to combine
with their photos and create a cinema-quality story.
Every photo album at dotPhoto can now be viewed as a
dotPhoto Show with only a single mouse click.
"Digital photography and online photo sharing web sites
have made instant sharing of pictures with friends and family
across the globe a reality," says Glenn Paul, President
and Co-Founder of dotPhoto. "The new dotPhoto Show
enables consumers to take that next step and become
interactive storytellers, sharing their digital pictures in a
visually appealing and audio-enhanced way."
The dotPhoto Show Builder™ is "always on,"
requiring no installation or learning of expensive software.
Viewers of dotPhoto Shows only need the Macromedia®
Flash® software that currently runs on 97% of
Internet-enabled computers worldwide. The dotPhoto Show
can also be used as a business application by allowing users
to develop narrated PowerPoint presentations.
"Photographers and business people alike are always
looking for the coolest, easiest and fastest technology to
enhance their work," added Paul. "dotPhoto is the
only online multi-media hub where these people have access to
a complete range of photo sharing technology anytime,
anywhere."
In addition to the launch of the dotPhoto Show, the dotPhoto
web site has undergone significant changes to make it easier
for consumers to share, preserve and profit from their images.
The dotPhoto.com site has been completely redesigned,
including new graphical treatment and a state-of-the-art
shopping cart to make purchasing and tracking of prints and
custom photo gift orders as easy as possible. Customers
can also organize and preserve digital photos online and order
CDs and DVDs for archival purposes and as gifts.
