Triscape, Inc. Press Release 04/08/04

FxFoto Standard, Deluxe Collage, and Pro Media provide easy to use tools for organizing, editing, correcting, sharing, and publishing photos and multimedia presentations

WINDHAM, NH, August 4, 2004 - Triscape, Inc. today announced enhancements to its popular software suites, FxFoto 2.0 Standard, Deluxe Collage, and Pro Media Editions.  The FxFoto titles are targeted at photography enthusiasts and advanced multimedia users giving them full control over their pictures and the tools to create stunning and captivating presentations and movies.  FxFoto 2.0 Standard is available today as a fully functional free download, while the Deluxe Collage Edition can be obtained for $29.99 and Pro Media Edition for $39.99.  All titles are upgradeable.

Triscape is providing its updates free of charge for all current users.  Printing upgrades include a new print wizard selection for 2x3 wallet-size and 4 x 6 and 3.5 x 5-inch snapshots and a new print “Center Image” option, which centers photos on the paper for printers with non-centered printable areas.

Editing and viewing enhancements include an optional fixed aspect ratio rope that enables users to crop to desired proportions.  A new multi-photo move facility makes it easier than ever to organize photo folders.  The FxFoto Viewer can now blowup photos to cover the screen without extra margins.  Also, the FxFoto Viewer now blanks the mouse cursor when it is not being used to reduce distractions.

Users creating presentations can now enjoy a new “random” option to quickly apply random entrance and exit effects to all slides.  For users that need a little extra assistance in getting entertaining, professional slide shows and collages, the software now offers detailed, step-by-step instructions.  New tutorials also detail basic operations such as importing, organizing, fixing and annotating photos.  Plus illustrated tutorials are now provided on-line.

“FxFoto represents an entirely new class of imaging software that provides them with everything they need, no matter their experience level, to creatively edit, share, publish and present their images in fun and exciting ways, starting at no charge,” said Steve Simonoff, president of Triscape.  “Our customers help us to enhance our software so that it is always serving their specific imaging needs and also inspiring them to edit, manage and present their special memories beyond the ordinary.  Whether they’re beginners or professionals, FxFoto is the only imaging software they’ll ever need.”

FxFoto Standard Edition is a highly complete package for organizing, correcting, and sharing digital photos. It organizes photos visually and by timeline, which is the most natural way people work with photos.  The Standard Edition also includes editing and correction tools that go way beyond typical entry-level packages, yet are very easy to use.  Sharing includes printing and emailing with smart compression of photos for efficient email.  Creativity features enable framing effects and simple slide shows.  The software also includes the ability to intelligently archive data to CD-ROM.  Far superior to shareware and even established software titles in its class, the Standard Edition is available for free with no restrictions.

FxFoto Deluxe Collage Edition adds creativity features to the Standard Edition, which include multi-photo collages, scrap-booking, slide shows with many 2D and 3D special effects, soundtracks, and photo stitching for multi-photo anoramas and documents with multiple pages.  All creations can be e-mailed or prepped for CD burning for playback on any PC without the need for additional “player” or “reader” software.

FxFoto Pro Media Edition builds on the Deluxe Edition by enabling the creation and publishing of photo-based movies and slide shows, complete with effects, soundtracks, and text.  Slide shows and MPEG movies can be created for CD-ROM (VCD and SVCD format) and DVD, which can play on most standard home DVD players.  Titles can also be published directly to Web sites using FxFoto plug-in technology, allowing visitors to view the show without the need for additional embedded software. Music files including MP3 and OOG format are also supported.  The Pro Media Edition also gives professionals the ability to publish restricted collages and slide shows that cannot be viewed, printed, or edited except by the original author after they expire - ideal for commercial use.
