Austin, Texas - November 10, 2000 Photodex Corporation, the leading publisher of digital content management systems, today announced that the CompuPic 5.2 and CompuPic Pro 5.2, the popular digital content managers, have been released. These substantial upgrades add power and compatibility for CompuPic users to make effective use of the newer Windows® operating systems and photo oriented internet sites without the complexity normally found with digital content management.

Photodex provides two versions of the CompuPic content managers to cover the varied needs of end users. CompuPic 5.2 and CompuPic Pro 5.2 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 Maxi-Show presentation. CompuPic is the only product available providing Maxi-Shows, which display multiple simultaneous images, sounds or videos at the same time.

CompuPic 5.2, available for download at http://www.CompuPic.com, is fully functional 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, years ahead of the rest of the software industry.

CompuPic Pro 5.2, available for download at http://www.CompuPic.com, is also fully functional as the user evaluates and decides to purchase. Unlike CompuPic 5.2, CompuPic Pro 5.2 has powerful web page generation features, an all new instant drop shadow wizard and the industry-first ability to create Picture CDs using standard CD-R drives. Photodex is the first company to have provided a simple way for consumers to write Picture CDs using off-the-shelf computer hardware, complete with licensed viewing software included on each Picture CD. Consumers and businesses are now capable of cheaply creating Picture CDs in their own homes or offices without interacting with a photo lab.

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 free photo sharing internet sites, and create image file and printed catalogs. CompuPic features always use WYSISYG previews, which sets CompuPic apart from it's few competitors.
