Avanquest Unveils SendPhotos

The solution provides remote printing capabilities, and the ability to embed a photo album created in SendPhotos to a website or blog.
 The SendPhotos digital imaging ecosystem comprises SendPhotos Mobile, SendPhotos PC and SendPhotos Web. The SendPhotos mobile client, installed on the handset, automates the uploading of snapshots to the www.SendPhotos.com portal for backup and continuous update of personal photo pages.

The PC software enables easy upload, download and synchronising of photos and image albums at SendPhotos.com, complete with cropping, redeye reduction and colour and contrast correction tools for use before sharing images. Viewing options make snapshots available to a select few or the entire world, while authorised friends and family can download high-definition images in their original size and instantly comment or share back their own images, contributing to one comprehensive online photo exchange or album from the same event or special occasion. SendPhotos also allows photos to be optimised for rapid download so that users without broadband internet access can obtain the images quickly.
SendPhotos Web offers a personal and private online cache for uploading, archiving, synchronisation and sharing of digital images, www.SendPhotos.com only allows access to user-authorised family, friends and associates without third-party publicity or search-engine pickup and dissemination across the Internet. A drag-and-drop, animated interface facilitates the easy transfer of stored photos to a variety of external photo sharing and social networking sites, including Picasa, MySpace and many others.
