July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eastman Kodak Company today introduced KODAK EASYSHARE Custom Creations Software, powered by Rocketlife. Available via free download from www.kodak.com/go/customcreations, this easy-to-use software helps consumers create and share their photos via custom photo products, like photo books, calendars, and on mugs and t-shirts. Consumers can also choose from more than 26,000 retail locations in the US to deliver their projects.

"Kodak is giving consumers another easy-to-use option for creating photo specialty items to share personal stories through pictures currently trapped on their memory cards and computers," said Brad Kruchten, general manager of Retail Printing Solutions and vice president, Eastman Kodak Company. "With our KODAK EASYSHARE Custom Creations Software, consumers can easily create stunning, personalized items at home on their computers and get their order fulfilled promptly at participating local photo retail stores."

Using the software at home allows consumers to fully utilize the digital photos stored on their computers. The software also provides consumers the freedom to be creative and work on projects at their leisure, while saving their work as they go. After downloading the free software, consumers can work with their projects on their computers without needing to re-connect to the Internet. They can easily create photo books, calendars and collages, in just a few steps:

• CHOOSE: Consumers choose the pictures they desire and the project they want to create.
  
• POPULATE: The software features real-time 3-D product views using consumers' personal photos. Users can select the easy-to-use intelligent auto-arrangement feature, or manually fill each page or product for a fully customized look, appealing to novices and experts alike.
  
• SAVE: Upon completion, consumers simply save the project to a blank CD or a removable storage device and search the store listing on the software to find a participating local retailer where they can drop off the CD.
  
• ORDER: Consumers can fulfill their orders by dropping the CD/storage device at one of more than 26,000 retailers. Consumers may find stores by entering their ZIP code in the software, and selecting from the store network in their area. This information is refreshed by selecting "Update" in the order creation process. Retailer pricing is noted in the software as well.
  

At the selected retail store, simply obtain a Kodak Perfect Touch photo- processing envelope from the Perfect Touch order drop off section. Check the "Special Orders and Instructions" box on the front of the envelope and write "Custom Creations" in the "Special Instructions" section on the back. Place the CD/storage device in the envelope and deposit it in the drop box for pick up. The order will be ready for pick-up at the store in a few days (depending on the items ordered).
