Press Release Body = PicaJet Photo Manager 2.5.0.488 now supports automatic image
uploading to popular online photo sharing services.

PicaJet burst on to the digital asset management market in 2001 and quickly became a
popular tool with professional photographers and digital camera owners alike. As the
number of digital photographs taken increases exponentially, photographer\'s
requirements for storing and keeping track of the photos grows dramatically. Today
it is hard to find photo album software which covers most of the customers needs and
maintains an easy to learn and fast interface. PicaJet is that program.

Here is a list of the top 10 reasons why photographers and digital camera owners
choose PicaJet Photo Manager:

1. Support for Camera RAW formats, including Adobe DNG
Images taken in a RAW format offer higher picture quality and richer post-processing
capabilities compared to images taken in JPEG or TIFF formats. Because of this, the
RAW format is the de-facto image format for professional photographers. PicaJet
supports the RAW format of almost all camera manufacturers as well as Adobe DNG.

2. Support for EXIF, IPTC, XMP standards
PicaJet Photo Manager stores image description information in two separate
locations. This information includes: photographers copyright, image caption,
keywords and rating. Image data is stored both in a special database and in the
image files themselves. The database storage facilitates lightning fast searches
through huge image collections. Storage of the same data within the image files
ensures data security. It can be easily recovered if the database is damaged. In
addition, any other programs that support EXIF, IPTC, XMP data formats can access
the image information. An advantage of this dual storage method is that the embedded
information will stay with the images if they are copied or moved. Another great
PicaJet feature is the ability to save information to the XMP section of DNG files.

3. An unlimited hierarchical category structure
PicaJet Photo Manager uses a multilevel, unlimited, hierarchical category structure
without any nesting limitations. This has many benefits over a standard linear
keyword structure:
- Clarity.
- Small size.
- Hierarchical structure.
- The ability to easily locate categories and images.
For maximum search speed as well as data security, image categories are stored in
the database as well as the images. During image import, categories can be
automatically created using IPTC keywords or they can be based on an existing folder
hierarchy. This means that a PicaJet category structure can be kept fully
synchronized with image file keywords. Unlike other digital photo cataloguing tools
which simply store keyword lists, PicaJet maintains the image folders as a keyword
tree structure.

4. Automatically responds to external file changes
PicaJet can automatically synchronize and update the photo album when files are
altered, moved or copied. The changes are detected automatically by the program. For
example: if you add keywords to an image using the third-party IPTC editor, the
PicaJet category tree will instantly be updated to follow the change.

5. Manage files through several albums
You may wish to include images in more than album. For example: you may wish to
split your family images between a photo-modeling album and a landscape album.
PicaJet can easily handle this requirement and it has a number of features for the
management of multiple albums. PicaJet allows you to view album statistics and to
password protect albums. Password protection of single images is also available.

6. Organizing offline archive
Photo collections will always grow and you will eventually need to archive images to
DVD. PicaJet can easily work with these archived images by retaining small
thumbnails on your hard drive. You can view, perform various searches and sort these
thumbnails. To open the original image file, simply double click on a thumbnail.
PicaJet will invite you to insert an appropriately labeled disc to the DVD-ROM drive
and then display it.

7. Search and sort through EXIF fields
If, for example, you are looking for photographs taken using your Canon 350D or your
Nikon D2X then, with PicaJet, you can easily find them. Here is another example: you
are looking for shots taken between 15 and 17 September 2001 in the evening and at
ISO 400. PicaJet will quickly find them for you.

8. Safe editing of images
An original image file from the camera is rather like a film negative. If you
accidentally damage it and no backup copy is available you will never be able to
restore it. PicaJet can render images with photo effects but the original files are
never altered. Instead, you see ultra-fast, PicaJet OpenGL graphic engine
"on-the-fly" effects applied to a copy of the image. In addition to keeping the
originals safe, apparently impossible speeds are achieved during batch image
editing. PicaJet can batch process 200 images per second! Other extended editing
functions are available which always alter a copy of the image, never the image
itself. This means you can revert to the original image at any time.

9. Automatically upload images to Flickr.com or Fotki.com
Most photographers like to share their shots with the world. The largest online
photo services Fotki.com and Flickr.com now work with PicaJet. It takes just a few
key strokes to assign your copyrights, keywords and description to a photo and then
upload it using Fotki and Flickr Uploaders. Your friends will then be notified by
email about your new photographs of your latest trip to Japan.

10. Slideshow with Hollywood effects
PicaJet's specially designed transition effects open up a whole new world of photo
viewing pleasure. The slideshow starts, the music is on. You and your family sit
back and relax to watch the latest PicaJet photo show.

Of course this is not a complete list of all of the PicaJet features. As you begin
to work with the photo organizer you will appreciate the simplicity of operation
backed by awesome functionality. The most frequently used functions have one-click
access while others are invoked via menu and hot key. For instance, the TAB key
shows or hides extended information panels and so increases the useful workspace.
Thumbnail size and customized display fields can be changed directly from the
workspace.


At the current time, this image database software is one of the leaders in the
digital photo management market. While the features listed cover professional
photographer\'s needs, amateur photographers also will like PicaJet because of it's
easy-to-understand interface and affordable price - US $59.95.
