Company description::
Beaverton, OR - April 26, 2004 -- FixMyPhotos.com provides to consumers digital retouching of facial blemishes, wrinkles, acne, and red eye, in addition to full color & contrast optimization. Behind the scenes, a team of skilled graphic artists, using the best computer graphics programs, retouch each image by hand. Customers upload their photos directly to FixMyPhotos.com and receive the finished files the same way, typically in a day or less. The service costs range from only $1.49 to $4.99.
“Americans took more digital photos than film last year,” says PicFix founder and CEO John Hoefer. “More than 30 billion images were shot in 2003 and that volume is expected to grow at 140% per year through 2005. Drawing on my background as a professional photographer, I wanted to help people create the best possible digital images so I created FixMyPhotos.com to serve the general public by perfecting their pictures. One of the beauties of digital photography is that it makes this kind of retouching possible. No one thinks of having blemishes and wrinkles removed or smiles brightened in their everyday pictures because retouching wasn't easily and economically available before. FixMyPhotos.com now offers digital photo retouching services, direct to consumers, and makes it fast and very affordable as well!”
The unusual combination of high technology and old-fashioned craft skills promises very attractive pricing for standard orders, with highly competitive rates for custom work. PicFix is currently in discussions regarding partnering with major consumer and business-to-business users of digital photos.
A recent FixMyPhotos.com customer submitted eight everyday photos of her family for optimizing. The pictures were taken at several different locations and under a variety of lighting conditions. A couple of the pictures were quite dark, some were off color, one had red eye present in a flash picture, the parents’ features included some age lines and dark under-eye circles, and one of the children had typical teenage skin blemishes. When the final pictures were delivered back to the customer less than a day later, all the pictures had consistent color and contrast, and every flaw had been corrected in a way that appeared completely natural, not appearing ‘plastic’ or retouched. All the photos could then be displayed next to each other in a beautiful composition.
“The most important element of evaluating a photograph is the eye of the beholder,” Hoefer continues. “By using graphic artists instead of automated retouching algorithms, we can go that much farther to please the customer.”

| Promotional Gifts Consultants Expose Their Knowledge
Redbows has launched a promotional gifts blog to provide buyers and specifiers with access to information they could require when considering giveaways for their promotional marketing campaigns. The new blog can be found at www.promotionalgiftsblog.co.uk
Redbows is one of the first gifts companies to use a blog for this purpose. The company already provides Adobe PDF format guides for download from its main website (www.redbows.co.uk). These tend to cover product ranges such as promotional confectionery and seasonal items like umbrellas. The intention behind the blog is to provide readers with a searchable on-line reference area and the opportunity for feedback and comment. The blog has a select number of categories covering issues such as ‘design and artwork’. Regular posting are made covering key issues that should be considered when purchasing promotional items. These can be made at any time and as soon as a particular problem area is highlighted a posting is uploaded together with links to supplementary information. The blog will also be used to provide general information on the gifts industry itself.
Initial postings have focused on various printing techniques and how artwork is generated. There is also a special fun aspect area shown as ‘Cocos corner’ and as Redbows launches new promotional gifts, their product-specific aspects will be covered within a blog entry. For example, the company is shortly to launch a new range of promotional mugs and the merits and drawbacks of plastic over ceramic and recycled materials will be discussed. “The launch of such an industry focused blog represents a further commitment to our clients and the promotional gifts industry itself” commented Dawn Koffler, Managing Director. “We already have good feedback from several clients on its themes and contents with some useful suggestions for the future. We supply a wide range of promotional items and are very keen to see this develop and cover the vast array of information our consultants have access to on a daily basis”.
