HDX4 Photo Manager will be presented on the PMA in Las Vegas

Submitted by benjagreenberg on Mon, 2008-01-21 16:33.

The ECCE TERRAM Internet Services company will go to Las Vegas to present its Photo2lab Software Suite on the main photo trade fair PMA, which will take place from 31 January to 2 February 2008. Integrated into the Photo2lab Software Suite is the HDX4 Photo Manager of HDX4 GmbH. This is a HDX4 Photo SDK for professional picture optimisation.

Dortmund. Jan 21st, 2008. - HDX4 GmbH has specialised in the development of software all about the topics of burning and multimedia. A suitable tool for digital photography is the SDK HDX4 Photo Manager, which other companies can license to upgrade their own software with new functions. SDK includes the two modules HDX4 Natural Enhancement and HDX4 Upscaling, both proprietary developments from the technology laboratories of HDX4 GmbH.

A distinctive feature of the HDX4-modules is that they can help to turn any snapshot into a really professional photograph – it only takes a mouse click. So far, photographers rather used trial and error to adjust brightness, contrast and colours; now the software can detect imperfections of pictures and corrects them without need for further user intervention. Frank Simon of ECCE TERRAM: "Thanks to the HDX4-functions, dark pictures with low contrast and matt colours are definitely a thing of the past. Suddenly, the sky prints perfectly blue and details, which were in the shade become visible again."

Wanted - Celebrities who care about Orphans and the Environment

Submitted by Bob Miller on Thu, 2007-12-27 20:39.

The project, Ethanol & Orphans, is looking for celebrities who think it is a good idea and who will endorse the project. The project sponsor is the not-for-profit charity, Our Family Orphan Communities, Inc.

The Ethanol & Orphans project is currently underway in Vietnam where we will be building a cellulose ethanol refinery and using the profits to build:
- a Self-sustaining, high-tech, green Community for street orphans where they will be raised in families with surrogate parents and grandparents, given care, skills (job, computer, familiy/life) and supplemental education.
- a Medical clinic supported by the profits from the refinery so those who cannot afford it can still receive treatment.
- more care for disabled children (who are still today being born with birth defects from Agent Orange which was used in the war in the 60's and 70's) so they can learn to be self-sufficient even with disabilities.

We are looking for people who care about:
- improving the environment
- using less petrochemical fuels
- helping developing / third world countries to improve
- street children living barely surviving
- disabled children who need assistance
- providing medical/dental care for those who cannot afford it
- protecting food sources (we will use sugarcane for the refiery, NOT grains)
- providing education for children, the future leaders of their country
- and more humanitarian projects

The celebrities will be asked to speak about our project when they can, and to allow us to use thier comments/picture/name in our website and promotion materials.

For complete details about the project, see: http://www.orphancommunities.org
For questions, write to us at: info@orphancommunities.org

Please forward this to others who you know will be interested in supporting this project.

PrintCity members Jura JSP and Weilburger Graphics create new brand protection security techniques

Submitted by PrintCity on Mon, 2007-09-10 12:39.

TWIN-ICI – innovative brand protection at the very highest level

Jura JSP GmbH, a company located in Vienna, and the German firm WEILBURGER Graphics GmbH have agreed to cooperate on the development of new, highly effective security processes for the print industry.

Both companies are active members of PrintCity, an alliance of businesses in the global printing, packaging and publishing markets.

The aim of the cooperation is to combine the specialist know-how of Jura JSP in the areas of high-security printing and brand protection with the comprehensive expertise of WEILBURGER Graphics in the field of print finishing for packaging, labels and commercial printing in order to be able to develop new, innovative security solutions for the protection of printed packaging and labels against counterfeiting.

This cooperation has already produced results so good that they must be described as a pioneering development in brand protection.

Under the name TWIN-ICI, and on the basis of market demands, the two companies have developed a novel security element which could revolutionise print production in the field of brand protection!

Thanks to the deployment of the most up-to-date materials and techniques, TWIN-ICI can currently be defined as high-security counterfeit protection, yet in its implementation it calls for only minor process modifications and can be produced inline at favourable cost via standard production systems in packaging and label printing in almost all applications.

Ready Made Solutions for Digital Photo Processing Services

Submitted by catapa on Wed, 2006-07-26 09:14.

Photo service Software Developer announced to publish ‘Transfer Ordering Network’ Protocol during Photokina

Setting up a digital photo processing service in store or online is becoming easier with ready made software solutions. Large central labs offer these to tie in their customers, while specialist developers like ECCE TERRAM sell software components that increase the services independence and negotiation power.

Oldenburg. 26 July 2006 – Today the vast majority of photographs taken are digital. Online photo services converting digital images into traditional photographic paper prints in familiar 6×4" (10x15cm), prints are increasingly profitable. Compared to home inkjet prints, pictures on photographic paper tend to look much 'richer', and are vastly more durable with regard to handling by sweaty fingers, humid environments, and fading in daylight. Such services cater for business with new photographic gift items and product ideas. The specialist internet software developer ECCE TERRAM will be presenting the latest off the shelf, modular software solutions for online photo services, web portals, photo labs and purchasing associations at the international Photokina exhibition in Cologne in September 2006, including releases currently being prepared. As a Photokina highlight, the company will also publish its complete ‘Transfer Ordering Network’ protocol for free usage.

Reuse Carrier Bags & Reduce Waste

Submitted by catapa on Mon, 2006-06-19 11:44.

Using canvas tote bags helps to reduce the number of supermarket plastic carrier bags wasted each year. Photo services print digital photographs onto canvas tote bags replacing the supermarket logo.

Encouraging consumers to use fewer environmentally damaging plastic carriers has long been a challenge. If modern urban life had a flag it would be a plastic bag: ugly, somewhere unreachable and likely to remain there long after the last bit of open space has been concreted into a supermarket car park. The UK's largest supermarket chain said this month that it would seek to cut the number of carrier bags it gives to customers by 25% over the next two years.

Much more could be achieved by getting people to use their own, durable carrier bags.
Some photo printing services apply digital photos onto canvas for long lasting carrier bags. These reusable photo tote bags start from £4.99 at http://fotoinsight.co.uk/gifts or €6.99 at http://fotoinsight.com and are an ideal, personalised and useful present. Over the course of its long life a reusable Tote Bag helps avoiding thousands of plastic supermarket carriers when used regularly. Why carry a supermarket’s logo when the carrier can feature ones favourite photograph. One of the photo services printing onto canvas, cotton and tote bags is FotoInsight of Cambridge (http://fotoinsight.co.uk). In light of the recent discussions about global warming, CO2 emissions and land fill photo tote bags may prove a smart, sub £8/€12 gift idea.

FotoInsight is Preparing FIFA Photo Book for Germany

Former director claims Kodak mislead customers on the quality of online photo sharing.

Submitted by catapa on Fri, 2006-03-31 10:19.

Can online photo sharing be free?

“A former employee has accused Eastman Kodak Co. of illegally tampering with the quality of customers' digital photos and making false advertising claims, according to a statement issued Wednesday (29 March 2006) by the former employee's attorney” reports DylanMcGrath, business editor at AP.

A competing online photo printing service, FotoInsight of Cambridge, UK distances itself from unlimited, free online photo hosting. FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Providing quality prints for a few cents or pence does not combine with unlimited online storage of multi megabyte image files. FotoInsight only offers uncompressed, printing quality online archiving. We have always stated that this can only be maintained with an honest time limit.”

According to FotoInsight, providing unlimited online photo sharing at print quality is unsustainable with ever larger digital camera image files. http://fotoinsight.co.uk and http://fotoinsight.com provide an online archive option with print orders only, limited to one month, after which users may pay for an extension. Klaas Brumann comments: “Not everything on the internet can be free. There are plenty of sites specializing in online photo sharing, which is a feasible service as long as there is a tap on the size. Ofoto's (Kodak) business idea to use print quality photo files for unlimited hosting is wrong”.

ROTE NASEN Clowns sorgen dafür,
dass das Lachen im Krankenhaus niemals verloren geht,
denn Lachen ist Leben!

MISSION

Kinder lachen überall auf der Welt. Doch wenn Kinder ihr Lachen verlieren, ist es ein Zeichen für schwindende Lebenskraft. Eine schwere Krankheit, ein langer Aufenthalt in der Klinik oder eine schmerzhafte Therapie übersteigen oft die seelischen Kräfte der kleinen Patienten.

ROTE NASEN Clowns bringen mit clowneskem Humor und individuellen Späßen kranken und leidenden Kindern immer wieder Lachen und Lebensfreude ans Krankenbett.

Die gemeinnützige Stiftung ROTE NASEN International hat die Aufgabe, in neuen Ländern ROTE NASEN Organisationen aufzubauen und dort in allen großen Kliniken regelmäßige Clownsvisiten einzuführen.

ROTE NASEN Clowns sorgen dafür, dass das Lachen im Krankenhaus niemals verloren geht, denn Lachen ist Leben!

Als Mutter zweier Kinder habe ich die Tätigkeit der ROTE NASEN Clowndoctors
bereits selbst geniessen dürfen. Und ich finde, wenn eine Organisation dann
bewusst neue Länder erschliesst, um dort Gutes zu tun - ja,
dann sollten wir sie unterstützen!

Das Schöne daran ist:
Menschen auf der ganzen Welt lachen in der gleichen Sprache!
