Austin, Texas - November 5, 1998 - Providing a unique solution for users of digital cameras, scanners, downloaded image files, clip art, fonts and other forms of digital content, Photodex Corporation today launched CompuPic 4.0 - the world's first true Digital Content Manager (DCM).

As multimedia input and storage devices become increasingly prevalent in the consumer and business markets, users are aggregating content such as photographs, logos and clip art on single systems and across networks.

Digital Content Managers allow users to maximize the value of their investment in multimedia hardware and software, by drastically streamlining access to and organization of digital content, helping users avoid duplication of files and enabling management and manipulation of files.

"CompuPic can take an entire directory of photographs, for example, and automatically create thumbnail images of the files in a matter of seconds," said Paul Schmidt, Photodex Vice President of Development. "The user can then click on an image, and can crop it, correct the color, add a text overlay caption or talk bubble, resize, rotate and perform other functions, all in an intuitive and user-friendly manner. There's no other product on the market with this level of functionality and ease of use."

As well as enabling image correction and manipulation, CompuPic features the most advanced search system in the digital content management market. CompuPic's search feature enables users to add keywords to files and indefinitely save search criteria and results for future use.

Ensuring users can immediately begin working with CompuPic, the interface is based on HTML, giving it the look and feel of a web browser. The extensive "Help" section features direct links to Photodex Corporation's website, so users will always have access to the latest information, upgrades and demos. The HTML format also means Photodex can rapidly add features and functions to CompuPic to respond to user needs, and create customized versions of CompuPic for OEMs, vendors and corporate partners.

CompuPic 4.0 is priced at $39.95 and available direct from Photodex Corporation, via download with a free 15-day trial at www.photodex.com or by calling 800-37PHOTO (800-377-4686).
