Crayon Software Announces New Release of MagicViewer 3.1

Major upgrade for efficient digital image organizing, editing and sharing

Waltham, MA - July 17, 2003 - Crayon Software, LLC (http://www.crayonsoft.com), the digital imaging software developer, today announced the immediate availability of MagicViewer Version 3.1, a major upgrade of their digital imaging solution software. 

MagicViewer 3 is a cost-effective solution for web graphics professionals, online store merchants, IT managers, academic researchers, and digital photographers who need to efficiently organize, edit, and share their digital images in an easy to use environment.

MagicViewer 3 offers task-oriented digital imaging solutions. A typical MagicViewer user would start by previewing images on a disk or directory or browsing a digital camera to decide which photos to download. The user can then enhance, add visual effects, or create text overlays on the individual files or GIF animations. Finally, he/she can share the images by sending picture emails, uploading to a web server, or making high-quality photo prints. A batch-processing wizard is included to help users automate many tasks, such as converting file formats and renaming large groups of images.

MagicViewer 3 focuses on efficiency, productivity, and ease of use. "Inevitably, the more features a program has, the longer the learning process will be. That is why we take a different approach from other digital imaging software makers. Instead of including as many features as possible, we meticulously select features and integrate them into workflows," said Isaac Chou, Principal of Crayon Software. "Our goal is to make MagicViewer powerful enough to complete customers' day-to-day digital imaging tasks, while providing an enjoyable user experience. We have received positive feedback on our new Version 3.0 user interface and workflow. In Version 3.1, we've continued refining and simplifying the user experience, while adding even more power and flexibility to the editing features."

The new features in MagicViewer Version 3.1 include unlimited undo/redo, more editing shortcut keys, improved online help, expanded file comment support, ability to display file comments under opened images, variable thumbnail sizes, zoom-in effects on thumbnails , and ability to cut, copy, and paste files.

"We make extra efforts to listen to our customers, and to find out how we can help them save time and money." Chou added, " Many of the new features are developed in response to customers' requests, and we are all very satisfied with the results."
