New Collage Tool Inspires Consumers’ Creativity

LAS VEGAS, NV (MARCH 8, 2007) — Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), an Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, announced today at the PMA 07 International Convention and Trade Show, an expanded version of its Shutterfly Studio desktop photo management software which has everything consumers need to be organized, creative, and thoughtful with their photo memories.  With faster performance, Shutterfly Studio is even more intuitive and fun to use as a result of several enhancements including personalized screen saver options, 20 photo editing tools with a new close up preview, templates for composing elegant picture collages, and new desktop “Picture Frames,” which display your favorite images in mini-slideshows for you to enjoy while working on your computer. 

Creating Collages
If a picture speaks a thousand words, imagine what a 400-picture collage would have to say.  Consumers can create an impressive collage in minutes featuring a handful or a collection of pictures.  With the new collage tool, users have unique creative possibilities to tell their stories, whether it’s creating a collage print for a special anniversary, a poster for a child’s room, or a birthday party banner.  Consumers can select from more than 140 inspiring templates in various sizes or they can use the “Composer” feature to design their own collage layouts.  In addition, users can add captions and titles using a choice of 18 fonts and they can personalize their collages with colors and picture borders.  Once uploaded to Shutterfly, collage images can be used to create one-of-a-kind prints and photo gifts.   

Other new Shutterfly Studio photo editing tools include:
• Whiten Teeth: Makes teeth look their whitest
• Thinning: Flatters the subjects in pictures, making them appear thinner
• Oil Paint: Makes photos look like oil paintings
• Graphic Poster: Changes pictures to look like a two-tone poster
• Auto Color: Automatically fixes color in pictures (remove color cast)
• Highlights: Darkens overexposed portions of photos
• Shadows: Brings out details and lightens underexposed portions of pictures
• Contrast: Adjusts contrast to heighten details
• Saturation: Removes or boosts color in a picture
• Color Temperature: Warms up or cools down a photo by changing the color balance

Enjoying Memories in More Ways than One
Consumers can turn their desktops into an ever changing slideshow with Studio’s new customized screen saver feature.  Featuring pan and zoom transitions, Studio’s slideshow feature lets users view images from a favorite individual folder or shuffle through a rotating selection of their entire picture collection.  With Studio’s new Picture Frame feature, consumers also have the option to display one or more framed mini-slideshows on the desktop while they work.  Users can choose from one of four different frame styles which can be sized and positioned to their specifications.
