Number 1-rated Online Digital Photo Processing Web Site Allows Users to Create 4"x8" Holiday Photo Cards Online Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- In order to help its members celebrate the season with a blend of tradition and technology, dotPhoto, Inc. (http://www.dotphoto.com), the leading online photo-sharing and digital photography Internet resource, has launched its 2001 Web-enabled holiday greeting card service. Offering a number of benefits as compared to the purchase of similar cards through your local brick-and-mortar photofinishing dealer, dotPhoto offers users the ability to construct cards online, view on-screen versions of the finished product, and purchase cards online -- all via the dotPhoto Web site. Standard membership in dotPhoto is free of charge.

"Despite recent events surrounding the postal service, we anticipate the demand for holiday cards of all types will be greater than ever before. Reaching out to family and friends is especially important to today's turbulent environment. Creating photo holiday greeting cards over the Internet offers personalization with ease," says Glenn Paul, chairman and founder of dotPhoto. "dotPhoto allows you to combine your photo, holiday graphics from our extensive online library, and a message in just a few easy steps."

The process of creating a holiday card is quite simple. Members select an image from their online album, which has been previously uploaded. They click on the Create Holiday Card button. This leads users to the graphics library where they can choose from a number of festive artwork selections. After designating a graphic, members enter their personalized message. The "finished" card can be viewed online to determine if any modifications are required. Once satisfied, members execute their on-line payment. Cards are available in lots of 25, and prices begin at 89 cents, with discounts for volume purchases. All cards are shipped complete with envelopes.

"dotPhoto's holiday card wizard is probably the easiest way to design and order your holiday cards," continues Paul. "All cards are printed on the high- quality photographic paper that dotPhoto members have come to expect. This service allows members to eliminate the hassles of crowded photo and printing shops, providing the opportunity to obtain personalized holiday greetings without leaving their home."
