Intuitex Software Releases Pics Print v.3

Intuitex Software has released Pics Print v.3, a Windows application that makes it simple to format and print high-quality photos, calendars, greeting cards, contact sheets, and family albums. Using wizards and templates, you can quickly grab images from digital cameras, scanners or disk, make color corrections and add style to them, resize and annotate them, and print them using your printer's highest quality settings.

New features in v. 3 include calendars, borderless printing, faster printing speed with no reduction in quality, automatic image cropping, image frames, Picasa support, more comprehensive editing of headers, footers, and text, support for RAW image formsts, and support for embedded camera information (EXIF).

Pics Print's folder browser lets you find images fast. With an intuitive Explorer-like folder tree and high-quality thumbnails of all of the images in that folder, identifying the right picture is quick and easy.

You can retrieve photos directly from any digital camera, and create a contact sheet with a single click. Using standard drag-and-drop techniques, you can move the thumbnail images to the final document, resize them, add text, and print them for friends and family.

Pics Print has a built-in photo editor that lets you crop, resize, rotate, and color-correct images. Users who enjoy adding artistic effects to their photos can blur, emboss, and sharpen the images, add borders, and produce an unlimited variety of creative touches. There is even a red-eye remover that takes out the red circles that the camera's flash often adds to portraits.

Creating customized calendars is easy with the new Calendar Wizard. Select a layout, style, dates, and images for your own calendar.

You can create instant greeting cards with Pics Print's card wizard. Simply select an image, add text, and print. Using the built-in templates, or templates which you create yourself, you can create family album pages, sales sheets, and any kind of printed pages in just a few minutes. Pics Print lets you create huge posters that are up to 20 sheets tall and 20 sheets wide.

Business users can use Pics Print's templates to quickly create flyers and brochures. Whether you offer a "special of the day" or "product of the week", it will take only a few minutes to drag and drop the images into the template, and use the built-in text editor to add the words. Work that used to require expensive setup and printing can now be created instantly on your computer printer. Pics Print provides Adobe Acrobat support, making it easy to provide print shops with images they can use to create flyers and brochures looking exactly like your originals.

The program includes WYSIWYG printing. The print preview screen lets you move, resize, and rotate images, so you'll never waste time or ink on pages that aren't exactly what you expect.

Whether you're a hobbyist who wants to share holiday pictures with friends and family, or a business person who needs to have an instant quick-print shop in your office, Pics Print lets you quickly and easily print photographs, flyers, cards, and posters.

Pics Print v. 3 runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP.
