ECCE TERRAM presents Photo2lab Client for iPhone
Online photo processing, where real photographic paper is used for prints, is nowadays as popular as traditional photo labs used be in the 1990's. The routes to the lab are becoming increasingly varied and flexible. Apart from the existing routes via the Internet using Windows PC, Mac or Linux software, a Point of Sale Terminal or online, ECCE TERRAM is now introducing its first "Photo2lab Client for iPhone" at the PMA 2008 in Las Vegas.
Oldenburg, Germany and Las Vegas, NV. January, 29th, 2008. -- ECCE TERRAM has already announced new versions of its offline software clients and its middleware for the PMA 2008 in Las Vegas, and communicated its expansion to New Zealand and Australia. Today the internet solutions specialist is presenting a new global highlight.
During summer 2007 Apple's launch of a completely new smartphone, called the iphone received much public attention. With 4 million units sold during the first 200 days it is the most successful mobile phone launch. Steve Jobs, the legendary Apple boss announced a software developer's kit last October for third party applications. 
Fast Mover
This gave ECCE TERRAM the starting shot for the development of a photo print order client for the iPhone. ECCE TERRAM CEO Frank Simon states: "We think that thanks to the intuitive user interface and the iPhone's Multi Touch Display this is the first attractive and user-friendly mobile phone photo print application that will be loved by its users."
A Trend Setting Product
Right from the onset it was clear that the iPhone users define which application can be sensibly marketed. Spontaneous snaps from the holidays, a party, on concerts or a snapshot of something interesting on the road. The moment describes the motive and shows why the software developer has such faith in its new iPhone application. "The iPhone is the ideal tool to help establish photographic products as part of modern, digital life." says Frank Simon, CEO.
Special Services for Production and Delivery
The iPhone's photo printing range will kick off with a mini-photobook (10x15cm, 16 pages) and a post card service. The user selects photos, creates a postcard with text and images in the editing tool, moves the images with one finger, rotates and zooms pictures with two fingers and does a double click to browse. The application can pick the postcard's recipients postal address straight from the contact list.
ECCE TERRAM's "Photo2lab" services production partners print the post cards and post them directly to the recipient - or the photo book to the buyer or to a delivery address for a present.
ECCE TERRAM expects to present the final version shortly after Apple publishes its SDK (Software Development Kit). Further information regarding ECCE TERRAM at the PMA can be found at www.iphone2home.net .

ECCE TERRAM to Showcase Innovative Solutions for Digital Photo Processing Services at PMA in Las Vegas
Specialist developer ECCE TERRAM is showing at this year’s PMA how setting up a digital photo processing service in store or online is becoming easier with open software modules. ECCE TERRAM is also celebrating a new mile stone with 132 million photo prints being ordered through its middleware software components. These solutions help to improve photo services' independence and negotiation power and provide access to a range of components to cover varying requirements.
Oldenburg Germany and Las Vegas, NV. January 22nd, 2008 – Online photo services converting digital images into traditional photographic paper prints are reaching the volumes of traditional photo labs in the 1990’s. Digital photo processing is a growth industry, but only a few developers have the experience and depth to create complete 'end user to photo lab' software solutions. The specialist Internet software developer ECCE TERRAM will be presenting the latest 'off the shelf', modular software solutions for online photo services, web portals, photo labs and purchasing associations at the international PMA exhibition in Las Vegas in January 2008, including client software and middleware releases currently in preparation.
Photo Lab Software Solutions
Together the Photo Lab Software processing components build flexible, state-of-the-art solutions. These range from order processing using online stores, point-of-sale terminals and offline software clients for Windows, Macintosh and Linux using an open protocol connecting to any photo lab or printer. The PTS middleware processes the orders using a central user database, which allows splitting orders to cover production requirements (e.g. mixed orders for standard prints, posters and gift items). Lab plug-ins built the third layer in ECCE TERRAM’s ‘Photo2Lab’ solution. The lab plug-ins currently support for example DPL, Allcop, ORWO, CeWeColor, DWM and Frontline. Increasingly specialists from the growing sector of photo book, calendar and gift item printing, like Ifuse, Snapmania are being supported by ECCE TERRAM.
ECCE adds ICC Profiles to its Middleware
At PMA ECCE Terram is adding ICC Profiles to its Middleware as an option for photo labs catering for professional photographers. These solutions allow to indicate image optimization for individual image files and make re-ordering prints easier. In addition, the ECCE Photo Suite offline client will integrate the HDX4 Photo Manager. It serves to optimise the pictures per mouse click before uploading them to the Internet, in order to bring out the best of the photographs. This is important because large photo labs find it increasingly costly to correct or optimise images in photo albums and calendars. The Managing Director of the developer ECCE TERRAM, Frank Simon states: "Among our customers are ORWO, Farbglanz Imaging, Pixelnet, Focus, TV Spielfilm, Kodak and many more. We are proud that in the past year 132 million image prints have been processed through the installed base of ECCE middleware solutions."
ECCE Photo Suite adds Photo Book and Calendar Editor Modules at PMA
ECCE TERRAM created the new generation of offline photo ordering clients (Windows, MacOS and Linux) with a modular structure. New modules for photo book and calendar design are being released during the PMA Trade Fair. A new postcard module which handles franking and mailing directly to the cards recipient will also be revealed during the PMA. The applications are brandable through graphics, logos and colors and are used by labs and services of different sizes, from large central labs like ORWO and DPL, book and gift printers to mini labs. Catering for European and international businesses ECCE TERRAM’s applications are easy to localize and are available in several European languages.
Multi Lingual Solutions with Source Code License
With Photo2Lab's ready made solutions, any store or website can become an independent online photo service. ECCE TERRAM founder Frank Simon points out: “ECCE TERRAM endeavors with Photo2Lab software to allow photo services to allocate production orders, moving the control over the process from the large central labs back to the photo service. When you start your photo service make sure that you own your customer data and route to lab. ECCE Terram licensing model is unique in offering a source code license option.”
ECCE TERRAM practices these values with its solutions shown at PMA Booth No.: K 191-1 from January 31st to February 2nd, 208.
