Austin, Texas - February 10, 1999 - Austin-based digital imaging software company Photodex Corporation today announced a partnership with online greeting card developer Digital Greetings (www.digitalgreeting.com). Photodex has contracted Digital Greetings to provide a range of online services for its growing community of digital imaging aficionados, including a full range of online greeting cards just in time for Valentine's Day. The cards can be found at Photodex' graphics community site, www.graphicswiz.com, and are a free service for all users.

"Because we distribute our digital content manager software product almost exclusively online, it makes sense for us to enhance the online experience of our customers and give them a reason to return to our site," said Paul Schmidt, Photodex founder and VP of Development. "We provide all kinds of information based around graphics management to our customers, and providing access to what we believe is the best online greetings service available is a natural extension of that."

Digital Greetings, also based in Austin, has a long association with Photodex, having standardized on Photodex' CompuPic 4.0 Digital Content Manager software to manage and manipulate its library of more than 20,000 images, including original art from cutting edge artists around the country.

"By using the underlying CompuPic technology, we were able to organize and build a greeting card site for Photodex quickly and easily," said Digital Greetings developer David Eddy. "The key to any imaging job, whether it's doing your family Christmas cards or building a commercial site like this, is knowing what and where your content is. That's where CompuPic was invaluable."
