November 17, 2004 -- Econ Technologies releases Portraits & Prints™ version 2.0 and Portraits & Prints™ 2.0 Pro Edition. Portraits & Prints, the personal photo studio for Mac® OS X, gets a major make-over with the addition of many new features and a new Pro Edition. Best of all, like all Econ products, it’s a free upgrade to existing users. Purchase Portraits & Prints 2.0 Standard Edition for $30 or Portraits & Prints Pro Edition for $50. To purchase, download the demo, or find out more information go to www.econtechnologies.com.

With Portraits & Prints, your photos are printed to a page layout called a template. All you have to do is select your photos, select your template, and print. Now, with the 2.0 version, you are not limited to just printing at home. You can send your photos via email or you can print-to-disk and have your photos printed anywhere, including your favorite photo center. Like the original, Portraits & Prints 2.0 comes with many standard templates, but now you can download hundreds of free templates directly from within P&P using the new Template Manager. In addition to all the basic photo layouts, you can easily add your photos to Holiday, Birthday, Valentine’s Day cards and more. With hundreds of free templates and lots more coming, Portraits & Prints 2.0 truly does turn your Mac into your personal photo studio.

Portraits & Prints 2.0 makes it easy for your photos to speak for themselves. Just click, drag, and type to add balloon captions to your photos. Type in your own captions anywhere you want on the template, including directly on the photos. You can even automatically add image file names or EXIF data to your templates. You control the font, size, and color of the text.

“Two of the best new features in Portraits & Prints 2.0 are the Print-to-Disk and Print-to-Email features. Now, you have other options than just printing your templates. You can export and email your templates as well! You can even have your templates printed at any Photo Center,” said Joseph Japes, Marketing Director for Econ Technologies.

Portraits & Prints 2.0 Pro Edition gives you all the features of the standard edition plus the ability to extensively edit and create custom templates. The Pro Edition allows you to create templates for any size paper, using any amount and size of photos you choose. P&P Pro comes with a complete set of template-creating tools. You can add stationary or user-editable text fields, shapes, lines, graphics and custom photo presentations to your templates. Take complete control over all your objects - fully rotate, add shadows, alter opacity, and change color. With just one click, our new mask tool adds any of a wide variety of different frames to your photos. Portraits & Prints 2.0 Pro Edition gives you the power to create any kind of template you can imagine and edit any of the hundreds of free templates that are available.

“With the Pro Edition, you don’t just lay out and print photos, you get all the tools of a page layout program. Make your own templates or just edit any of our templates. You can create collages, newsletters, scrapbook pages, cards, or anything you want to use your photos with. Once you download or create a template, you can use it over and over again with any image,” Japes added.

Portraits & Prints 2.0 Standard Edition sells for $30 and Portraits & Prints 2.0 Pro Edition sells for $50. Purchase, download the demo, or find out all the details at www.econtechnologies.com. Portraits & Prints 2.0 requires system 10.2.7 or later and a 400 MHz G3 or greater.

Econ Technologies, Inc. continues to create Powerful, Affordable, Easy to Use applications for the Mac OS X operating system. For more information on Econ Technologies’ products, please contact Joseph Japes at 407-365-4209 or at jjapes@econtechnologies.com.
