TORONTO, Canada (PRWEB) February 19, 2004 --Publishare Inc. is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Publishare Photos -- a powerful new software tool that enables home consumers to create their own personal digital photo sharing Web sites on their broadband-enabled desktop PCs. Publishare Photos marks an evolutionary shift in how individuals publish and share their digital photos on the Web.
As every digital camera owner knows, it's easy to become overwhelmed by a mountain of digital photos in a very short period of time. Keeping up with publishing all those photos can be a daunting and time-intensive task. Publishare Photos makes it as easy to publish and share digital photos on the Web as it is to snap them. By harnessing the untapped, increasingly powerful technology infrastructures of home consumers, Publishare's unique solutions approach delivers enhanced functionality and unlocks benefits that cannot be readily matched by typical photo sharing sites:
| | - Fast Album Publishing - Publishare Photos is like a word processor for photo albums. Creating and editing albums is made easy with Publishare's simple wizards and album editing tools. There is no waiting to upload photos to some remote site or long waits for Web pages to load.
|
| | - Total Ownership - Publishare lets users publish their digital photos on their own terms with no storage limits, usage restrictions, annoying advertising, or secret user tracking. There are no flashy marketing messages or disruptive popup ads to distract from published photos -- visitors will see each photo and each album as they were intended to be displayed. Every photo and each album remain safe and secure on the user's PC-- not at some third party site.
|
| | - Higher Quality Albums - Publishare permits higher quality images and larger photo sizes and allows users to create detailed titles and descriptions for each individual photo and each album. Publishare also offers flexible album layout and album design options through its choice of free downloadable photo album templates.
|
| | - Invite Friends and Family - Publishare has a built in visitor invitation system that enables users to email friends and family with customizable invitations to view their published photo albums. Users can restrict album viewing on an album by album basis. Invited family and friends can bookmark individual photos in their own personal 'favorites' album for repeated viewing and can download full-sized, high-quality photos for printing.
|
| | - Personal Album Galleries - Publishare lets users create their own personal gallery of albums. Album organization is fully customizable - whether it's vacations, family gatherings or festive holidays, Publishare Photos makes it easy for users to group their growing gallery of albums into as many custom categories as required.
|
| | - Your Own Web Address - Publishare provides each user with their very own personalized Web address that friends and family can enter into their Web browsers to connect to their photo albums.

Prior to Publishare Photos, self-hosted publishing solutions were prohibitively out of reach for the average home consumer. Only those competent in server configuration, databases or Web development and design could attempt to piece together a solution that would allow them to reap the benefits of being able to publish from their desktop PCs -- usually at a high cost in time, money and frustration. Publishare Photos requires absolutely no specialized technical knowledge or Web programming or design ability. Users simply install the software and access it with their Web browsers -- just as they do with conventional photo sharing sites.
"Digital cameras are radically transforming the way we take and store pictures," said David Bordin, CEO and co-founder of Publishare Inc. Publishare Photos will provide the average individual with the tools to revolutionize how they manage, publish and share their digital photos on the Web. Using Publishare Photos, our customers can easily share their cherished moments and memories with friends and family."
