Graphita Launches Point-and-Click Effects for High-Resolution Digital
Photos
New Web Application for Creative Visual Expression that is Fun,
Free and Easy to Use
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 1, 2007 --
Graphita (www.graphita.com) has
unveiled Live Studio, an easy-to-use web application for graphical
effects on high-resolution digital photos. Now anyone can apply
expressive effects to photos by adding captions, doodles and art objects
without having to master complicated software editing tools. With today’s
high resolution digital cameras, Graphita makes it possible to create a
wide range of cool personalized items, from posters to t-shirts and
greetings cards.
Graphita’s mission is to make it easy for
people to express themselves visually —
whether through blogs, media and social sites, political campaigns,
photo sharing sites, in the office, at home or simply by highlighting
the features of an item in an online auction.
Anyone who has attempted to use the more popular image-editing tools on
the market will appreciate the ease of this entertaining application.
Photos can be combined with hundreds of digital effects to create very
personal messages – from moms who want to add
special effects and captions in family scrapbooks, to teens who want to
express an idea visually, to people who just want to make a very
personal impression with a greeting card or even a t-shirt.
“We’ve made it easy
for people to make their own creative expressions, using pictures as the
canvas. It’s as simple to use as a
point-and-click camera,” explains David
Shantz, CEO and co-founder. “We believe that
people are growing tired of dragging their eyes across screen after
screen of written messages. A personalized picture is so much more
instantly expressive, allowing people to have a “visual
voice” that can be shared in an instant.”
Graphita’s website incorporates several
technical innovations. First, people can easily share the
high-resolution images they create with their friends by e-mail. Live
Studio packages up small proxy images, which then link back to the
original on the web –so that big files don’t
overfill e-mail accounts. Second, the effects rendered on Live Studio
are always live and editable. If one person puts a caption on a picture,
the recipient who it is shared with can change the words in the caption,
add an object, and so on.
Live Studio is open and free. Graphita is currently working on
integrating it’s application with leaders in
the image hosting and sharing world – making
it possible to save images directly into accounts at other sites. Images
can be exported back to a photo storage site, e-mailed, posted on a blog
or website, added to a social network profile or printed on dozens of
unique items such as mugs, posters, shirts and calendars through the
site.
