1STEIN is now offering an English version of their image management software CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4. With this new application for Windows systems, digital photography enthusiasts will find a wide range of functions for importing, viewing, managing, enhancing, sharing, publishing and reproducing photos in a single application, which has received many awards from known download portals.

CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 turns managing images into a fun experience with fast results. Users instantly feel familiar with the program, as browsing through collections and viewing images is similar to using Windows Explorer. The many essential and unique features make CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 a strong competitor for more established and costly photo programs, and the all-in-one philosophy removes the need to install different programs for multiple jobs.

CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 works with images directly on your hard drive, so you will not have to reorganize your photo collection. Use the import feature to acquire new images from your scanner or your digital camera.

Organize your photos in catalogs with CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4, and your pictures will remain where they are while you bring them together under different collections and screen shows. CodedColor PhotoStudio ships with a very fast and stable XML database, capable of handling large numbers of images. Catalogs can contain images from many different locations, and an intuitive broken link correction makes the loss of EXIF and IPTC image information impossible, a problem that many competitors havn�t successfully solved yet. Add titles, descriptions and multiple keywords to your photos, in order to easily find them later, and to include this information in web albums and prints.

CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 offers a wide variety of functions for image enhancements, such as resizing, rotating and removing red eyes. With only a few mouse clicks, you can adjust sharpness, color or brightness and apply a number of effect filters to enhance a picture�s quality. Automatically add watermarks from the database, if you want descriptive text or copyright information burned directly onto the image. If you have a bundle of images to add watermarks to, to resize or to convert into different image formats, you can benefit from the program�s powerful batch conversion feature.

Connect your computer to a TV or home projector and gather your friends or family for a slide show presentation of your recent holidays. Select the album or catalog, and CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 will prove that the classical slide show has evolved into an interactive presentation. Your audience will enjoy the various transition effects and the ability to zoom into details. And they will inevitably like one or two pictures so much, that they will order printed copies directly from the screen show.

CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 also allows sending individual photos as well as entire albums to family and friends via email. Optionally, images can be resized and emailed as ZIP-archives, in order to save download time and costs. Automatically including titles and descriptions from the database, you can turn your album into a professional web gallery with individual layouts and transition effects, capable of running inside any Javascript enabled browser. It takes only a few mouse clicks, and your album is ready to be uploaded to your web space.

CodedColor PhotoStudio lets you print photos with exact locations and dimensions. The program offers a versatile preview and print dialog for those who like to print photos on their home photo printer. A less expensive way, usually offering far better results, is to order quality prints online. The CodedColor Order Wizard guides users through the entire process of selecting and ordering images in a remote lab of their choice.

CodedColor PhotoStudio 3.4 offers additional tools for the professional photographer or webmaster, which competitors usually sell in separate products or add-ons. Users will appreciate a versatile screenshot tool with automatic resizing, self executable albums, ZIP compression, contact sheet printing and many more useful features, which extend the typical viewer & editor application.

The upcoming version 4.0 planned for later this year will extend CodedColor PhotoStudio�s features to digicam & multimedia support, improved image editing, CD/DVD archiving and desktop publishing capabilities.

CodedColor PhotoStudio requires Windows 98, ME, NT 4, 2000 or XP. The shareware version can be downloaded, tested for free and purchased from the CodeColor.com website for $48.00(US).
