NEW YORK, NY - (February 19, 2007) - Tribeca Labs, a leading developer of digital imaging software and services, and winner of the DIMA 2006 Innovative Digital Product Award, has officially announced the commercial availability of PhotobotTM, the first Zero-Click picture correction software for the consumer marketplace. With Photobot, consumers now have a fully-automatic program that instantly brightens dark images, reduces red-eye and gives their pictures more vibrant, life-like color – and the user never has to lift a finger. Photobot simply makes bad pictures good and good pictures great. There are no more buttons to push, no more sliders to slide – no work to do and no time wasted. “He” does it all for you, automatically. Photobot is now available for purchase at major outlets like Amazon.com and Overstock.com, and at leading camera stores, like Adorama and B&H Photo-Video.
“We are pleased to announce the commercial availability of Photobot in conjunction with such well-known retail partners,” said Mike Bevans, one of the Partners at Tribeca Labs. “Consumers can now purchase Photobot anywhere in the world through our online retail channels, or pick up a copy of the software at our storefront retailers, including Adorama and B&H in New York.”
How It Works
Once Photobot is installed, he is always on, constantly searching the user's hard drive for photos. When he finds them, he goes to work applying award-winning, multi-patented technologies to instantly and automatically optimize picture quality. Photobot uses Perfectly Clear™ to improve brightness, Full Spectrum RGB™ to deliver vibrant, life-like colors and FotoNation’s Red-Eye™ to reduce red-eye. Importantly, Photobot's technologies are all adaptive, which means that he only makes adjustments to images if they are needed, and then only to the degree necessary to achieve optimal results.
“Photobot is specifically designed for the everyday point-and-shoot consumer that wants to take lots of digital photos, have them come out looking great, and then move on with their lives,” said Bevans. “People like busy moms and dads don’t want to have to do photo-finishing work on their computers. Taking pictures is fun, but correcting them is homework. With Zero-Click technology this chore is eliminated forever; users simply save pictures to their computers – and seconds later Photobot provides them with great looking photos.”
Correct your pictures - Protect your pictures
In addition to improving images, Photobot also automatically uploads them to the user's personal Swiss Picture Bank account, where they are protected from hard drive failure, accidental deletion, theft and disasters of all kinds. Tribeca Labs operates Swiss Picture Bank in the same high-security data centers that Swiss banks use to store billions of dollars in electronic assets. Of course, Swiss Picture Bank provides all of the standard online photo services that users have come to expect (printing, file sharing, etc.), but it is the only storage service focused primarily on preserving the customer's memories for generations to come with the security of a Swiss bank.
“Swiss Picture Bank is the first practical, effective solution to the problem of digital picture backup and storage,” said Bevans. “Most consumers keep their photos on their hard drives; every once in a while they may decide to burn a few to CD, copy a handful to an external hard drive or make some prints. All of these storage methods are susceptible to crashes, physical damage, theft or loss. However, with Swiss Picture Bank, you can preserve all of your precious memories so that you’re not at risk of losing years of your life’s history. Swiss Picture Bank keeps your photos safe. Forever.”
MSRP: $29.95 and every copy comes with a free introductory account at Swiss Picture Bank. For more information about Photobot, visit www.photobot.com.
