Austin, Texas - June 14, 2000 Photodex Corporation, the leading publisher of digital content management systems, today announced that the CompuPic 5.1 and CompuPic Pro 5.1, the popular digital content management products, have been released. These substantial upgrades further empower CompuPic users to make effective use of the Windows® operating systems and Photo Destination Internet Sites without the complexity normally found with digital content management.

Photodex has successfully provided two versions of the software to cover varied end users needs. CompuPic 5.1 and CompuPic Pro 5.1 provide quick and elegant viewing, editing, conversion, thumbnail web page creation, text overlay, cropping, rotation, image enhancement and adjustment, color correction, catalog creation, slide show presentation and maxishow presentation. CompuPic is the only product available providing maxishows, which display multiple simultaneous images, sounds or videos at the same time.

CompuPic 5.1, available for download at http://www.CompuPic.com, is fully functional for 15 days while the user evaluates the software and decides to purchase. The software has to be good, as the consumer sees, feels and uses what they are deciding to buy. CompuPic may be purchased for $39.95, which includes a custom registration key, support forever and free upgrades for one year. Photodex focuses on user interface and product stability because the user gets to test-drive the product before purchasing. Photodex has demonstrated great success with the "try-before-you-buy" business model for over a decade, something nearly all other software publishers have not mastered.

CompuPic Pro 5.1, available for download at http://www.CompuPic.com, is also fully functional for 15 days as the user evaluates and decides to purchase. Unlike CompuPic 5.1, CompuPic Pro 5.1 has powerful web page generation features and the unique ability to effortlessly create Picture CDs using standard CD-R drives. Photodex is the first company to have provided a simple way for a consumer to write a Picture CD using off-the-shelf computer hardware, complete with licensed viewing software included on each Picture CD written. Consumers and businesses are now capable of cheaply creating Picture CDs in their own homes or offices without interacting with a third party photo lab.

Photodex is proud to announce the ability to easily create AmazingMail postcards directly through CompuPic 5.1 and CompuPic Pro 5.1. Users select an image to appear on an AmazingMail postcard, preview the postcard with CompuPic and start the postcard creation process on the AmazingMail website without ever leaving CompuPic. Users can now easily send their loved ones or business associates professionally produced postal mail postcards with a personal or professional message. To get users started, each CompuPic user is provided five free AmazingMail postcards just for trying the service through CompuPic.

All versions of CompuPic also create digital greeting cards through DigitalGreetings.com, quickly email any kinds of files to friends and family without leaving CompuPic, support to several Internet Photo Sharing Sites, and create image file or printed catalogs. CompuPic features always use WYSISYG previews, which sets CompuPic apart from it's few competitors.
