MAGIX Announces Photo Cleaning Lab

February 9, 2004 – MAGIX, the award-winning technology leader in Personal Rich Media, announced today MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab, the ‘must-have’ digital camera accessory that quickly repairs, organizes and preserves the thousands of digital images collected by photographers and consumers. Priced at only $49.99, MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab includes real-time image correction, high-speed photo management, instant album creation, accelerated image explorer, photo printing, CD archiving and a powerful image editor in one easy-to-use program.

MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab instantly resizes and restores digital photos, making it essential software for any photographer. Efficient batch-processing enables users to change entire folders of pictures to a different image format and resizes for printing, emailing or posting to a webpage. Exposure, focus, color correction and ‘red-eye’ reduction tasks are performed instantly-- even while the photos playback in a slideshow.

The task of locating the exact shot is fast and effortless with MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab. An accelerated search function finds images anywhere they are – computer, digicam, or scanner – and displays them in seconds for easy sorting. Users can choose to view the photos full screen, as thumbnails, or in an instant slideshow with music. Automatic categorizing enables users to instantly organize their photo collection, or they can choose to sort photos into custom categories to create a personalized database.

Damaged, scratched, torn or spotted photos can be quickly repaired with the included MAGIX Photo Clinic 3.0, a sophisticated 24-bit image editor. MAGIX Photo Clinic 3.0 enables users to create a panorama or montage, add professional touches such as special artistic effects or apply more detailed refinements to get the most from their image collection.

MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab provides a variety of ways to share images. Consumers can create interactive photo albums, screensavers and photoshows with a mouse click and burn them on CD for sharing or archiving, or they can instantly resize the pictures for printing posters and contact prints.

MAGIX Photo Cleaning Lab for Windows will be available in late February 2004 through major retailers for $49.99 SRP. For more information, visit www.magix.com or call 888-866-2449.
