H&M System Software Announces StudioLine Photo Classic 3
H&M System Software Announces StudioLine Photo Classic 3
New version of the high-performance image database
Rödermark, 02-JANUARY-06 - H&M System Software today unveils StudioLine Photo Classic 3. This new version adds major features, including a new user interface, custom layouts of web galleries, export of image descriptions in XML format, management of sound and video data from digital cameras and a search by time spans. This update also marks H&M's plans to diversify the StudioLine product portfolio. Following the "Classic" version of this software for easy and safe management, editing and presentation of digital photos, a professional version is to be released later in 2006. For beginners H&M continues to offer the new version StudioLine Photo Basic 3 as a free download. The full version of StudioLine Photo Classic 3 for Windows XP, 2000, ME and 98 is available from H&M's online shop at www.studioline.biz priced $59/59 (download), $69/69 (CD) and coming soon, a boxed product at $89/89.
The new StudioLine Photo Classic 3 user interface provides great flexibility by allowing the user to optimally arrange the on-screen objects: filters can easily be docked to scalable panes, which can also be hidden. An info pane displays all relevant information at a glance, such as number of images, size, subfolders, backup status, etc.
The developers have once again focused on management and search functions. The improved search window offers global changing of image descriptions in many images. Searching for time spans has been integrated into the software. Image descriptions can now be exported in XML format for easy metadata exchange with other applications.
Other new features include the management of sound and video clips from digital cameras and the slide show has been enhanced with transition effects. For personalised web galleries, special styles allow customisation of the background colour, image size and layout, captions, fonts, etc. The export allows saving frequently-used settings such as crop, sharpen or overlay text.
StudioLine Photo - excels once again in managing IPTC and Exif data, which can be edited in the database, and provides extensive support of the RAW formats of most popular camera manufacturers.
Free Updates
H&M System Software issues free, regular updates to ensure that StudioLine Photo is always 100% up-to-date. For example, the updates in Version 2 included, additional new file formats such as JPG2000, various camera manufacturers' new RAW formats and the DNG format. New features have also made their way into the product, including a versatile layout tool to freely design collages and other print projects; H&M plans to continue these regular product enhancements with StudioLine Photo Classic 3.
Impressive Technology
StudioLine Photo is entirely database centric. IPTC, Exif and Windows image tags are transferred to the database where they can be edited. Images are categorised using folders, system and user descriptors as well as extensible keyword lists. Favourites are classified using the 5-star rating system. Sorting and searching can be based on 75 system criteria plus any number of user descriptors. StudioLine has elaborate search functions from search and replace of keywords or text, to complex queries and filtered views of the image database. The timeline view automatically organises images by Exif, creation and modification date in calendar form.
Images can be tagged with keywords and descriptions can be added. To efficiently organise extensive photo collections, keywords, categories, image descriptions and filter settings can easily be transferred with a single mouse-click to multiple images using the "Copy" button.
StudioLine keeps the unchanged original together with a stack of revisable filter settings safely in the image database. The edits are not rendered into a final image until a version is needed for exporting, emailing or printing. This guarantees images without generational loss of quality while protecting the originals. StudioLine's batch processing capabilities save a lot of time when transferring filter settings, as well as keywords and descriptions, onto multiple images.
StudioLine also includes a sophisticated system for data backup. The database can be saved using the incremental backup onto CD/DVD and can be recovered, including all descriptions, following a system crash from the backup CDs or DVDs..
The unique "Offload" feature conserves disk space. It moves the large originals to CD or DVD and replaces them with proxy images, keeping them available for presentation purposes. StudioLine will prompt for the correct disc, whenever the high-resolution original is needed.
Professional Version Available in 2006 and New Basic Version for Beginners
H&M System Software has announced that it will release a professional version of StudioLine Photo later in 2006. The network-compatible version will manage multimedia content, synchronize content with other PCs and will include an integrated FTP upload.
Version 3 is now also available for StudioLine Photo Basic. The free downloadable software is particularly useful for beginners wishing to manage their digital photos. StudioLine Photo Basic 3 is also available to purchase on CD and coming soon as a boxed product with a printed manual.
Prices and Availability
The full version of StudioLine Photo Classic 3 for Windows XP, 2000, ME and 98 is available from H&M's online shop at www.studioline.biz priced $59/59 (as a download); $69/69 (CD) and coming soon a boxed product at $89/89. An upgrade from Version 2 is available at $20/20. All customers who purchased StudioLine Photo 2 after March 1st 2005 can obtain the upgrade free of charge.
