Photochannel Launches Online Photo Print Services Website

PhotoChannel just announced the launch of Version 2.0 of its Internet photography site, offering online photo print services for digital and conventional film photographers

PhotoChannel (www.photochannel.com) now offers millions of digital and film photographers an easy way to store and share images and order premium quality prints, reprints and enlargements. The site features an extensive range of photography news, tips and digital camera reviews; an online photo print service to digitize, store, share and print pictures; and an online store where camera equipment, accessories and supplies are available at PhotoChannel - making it the most comprehensive photo destination.

PhotoChannel offers an extraordinary range of services to digital as well as film photographers. Digital photographers can easily upload images directly to their own photo site. 35mm and APS photographers can send their film or disposable camera for free processing, scanning and uploading by using postage paid mailers available at www.photochannel.com. Free "custom darkroom" programming is available for easy editing and enhancement of images including image cropping, special effects, red-eye removal as well as "digital" framing.

Unsurpassed Print Quality in Unequaled Turnaround Time
After selecting the images they want to print, customers have their pictures shipped within 24 hours of PhotoChannel receiving their order. PhotoChannel provides these photography services to all photography enthusiasts whether they use digital cameras, conventional 35mm and APS cameras, or single use (disposable) cameras. PhotoChannel is the only online photo community, which makes prints using the highest quality, state - of - the- art Fuji Frontier Digital Minilabs and premium Fuji Crystal Archive Silver-Halide Paper for unsurpassed quality and low-cost prints. These prints are developed and sent to users within 24 hours, at a cost of $7.99 for up to 24 prints.

Expanded Editorial
PhotoChannel brings customers the latest photography news, reviews, tips, and techniques from photographers and well-known imaging industry leaders.

The expanded editorial includes a new in-depth Photography Pro's column from respected photography columnist Don Sutherland, who travels extensively to provide insight on the latest developments in the photographic world.

Dave Etchells, the publisher of Imaging Resource Inc. the leading online source for information on digital photography, contributes extensive digital camera and software comparative reviews for consumers confused with the deluge of choices in cameras, printers and storage.

"We expect users to be extremely impressed with the extraordinary quality of PhotoChannel's prints. They're sharper, clearer, more vibrant, and delivered more quickly than other online photo print service," said Geoffrey G. Briant, Chairman and CEO of PhotoChannel Networks Inc. "Experts have estimated that by 2002, there will be more than 5.5 billion images uploaded to the Internet and still exposures will grow from 71 billion in 1997 to over 100 billion.
