Finally, the leash that tethered your camera to a GPS is no longer needed for geotagging. Our tiny Unleashed module sits directly on the camera*, connected wirelessly to any Bluetooth GPS receiver, which can be kept in your pocket or backpack. It passes the GPS data on to the camera and the current location is embedded in your photo’s EXIF data immediately. No additional steps are required at your computer.

*Currently pro/prosumer DSLRs by Nikon are compatible.

HP Photo Center 4.0

Hewlett-Packard Co., Booth F150

HP Photo Center 4.0 is the newest version of the award-winning HP Photo Center solutions. It helps retailers grow revenue with high-quality, high-margin photo products, and makes it easier for consumers to enjoy and share digital photos.

The HP Photo Center expands retail business with high-margin, high-value photo products that can be created in-store in minutes. In addition to vibrant, lab-quality photos, consumers can easily produce professional-looking photo creations such as photo books, calendars, greeting cards, posters, and more within a one-hour service environment. The entire HP Photo Center solution takes a challenged category and turns it into a new, vigorous, profit-centered category.

The key to these innovative products is the ground-breaking software used by the consumers to create and order, as well as retail sales associates to produce and manage. The software is based on a stream of innovative software and algorithms. For example, the HP Lab algorithms for collage creation, innovatively analyze each set of images to optimize placement within the collage. Each collage, as a result, shows off consumers’ images at best, not merely as an auto-fill from a template.

Consumers can manage high volumes of digital images quickly and easily in this simple workflow. The easy-to-use touch screen interface intuitively guides consumers through each step of the ordering process: quick image selection, product choice, image editing, theme selection, and final product preview. Non-intrusive, up-sell screens encourage additional purchase behavior at appropriate moments along the process. A built-in demo mode lets new consumers explore how easy it is to create all the photo products and prints.

Even the attract loop engine running on an input station is innovative, letting retailers merge still images and videos to attract their specific consumers using their specific messages.

The heart of the HP Photo Center 4.0, the order manager software, enables store associates to easily monitor and manage each order and each product creation with minimal training. The spreadsheet format allows associates to quickly sort orders by an array of criteria, including order promise time, assuring orders get completed in a timely and consumer-satisfying way.

Orders can be automatically held or released based on dollar amount or product type. Behind the scenes, the order manager software is efficiently formatting products for creation, assigning the project to the most appropriate printer or tool, including pooled HP inkjet photo printers, making the most efficient use of photo center resources.

HiTi Digital Inc., Booth E281

WFT510 is a wireless photo transmitter. With its unique design, WFT510 can support varied digital cameras with PictBridge connection. The WFT510 lets users wirelessly send images from any PictBridge compatible digital camera to a photo printer with functioning FTP server (802.11b/g compatible). By communicating with the wireless photo printer, WFT510 enables photographers to do instant printing without removing the USB cable (link-print mode) or memory cards from their digital cameras. High compatibility of WFT510 makes more camera users experience the convenience of wireless transmission. A photographer is free to move around while taking photos and in only three steps they can complete the whole process from shooting to printing. After a photo shoot, the only thing needed to do is click the switch button, select desired photos to print, and then send them the printer.

WFT510 not only allows a camera to transmit photos to a wireless printer, but also permits it to transmit photos to a PC. With HiTi WFT PC kits, users can easily set up their PCs to receive the photos which are transmitted by WFT510. With WFT510, photographers can work more efficiently; they do not need to prepare a USB line or take out a memory card; they can directly print out their photos wirelessly or edit their photos on a PC instantly.

Lucidiom APM 7.0

Lucidiom Inc., Booth Q180

In version 7.0, Lucidiom has further integrated in-store and online operations allowing consumers to instantly upload photos from the APM to their personalized Photo Finale Web Account for online storage and sharing. As an up-sell option, in-store uploads provide an immediate new revenue stream for stores, as well as driving future online revenue by promoting social picturing and making online sharing and re-ordering more convenient. This reduces the frustration consumers face at home with long upload times and difficulties getting photos from their cameras onto their computer.

Lucidiom Inc. has been the industry-leader in "beyond 4x6" for years, with the APM currently boasting a catalog of well over 1,000 unique creative products.

The new user-experience simplifies the process, making it easier for consumers to browse products and styles, by theme (e.g. Birthday), season/holiday, or price range.

Another key innovation in the APM 7.0 is a brand new product recommendation, an up-sell engine that presents consumers with targeted up-sell opportunities based on Lucidiom’s extensive database of historical kiosk sales data, powered by APM network. For example, consumers ordering a holiday greeting card might be prompted to purchase a photo envelope, set of thank you note cards, and custom photo wrapping paper, all in matching designs.
