How to give personal memories as a Mother's Day Present
Photo presents like photo books and canvas prints are popular for preserving personal memories in style. At popular occasions like Mother's Day or a birthday photo gifts are a present as personal as the relationship.
London. 19 February 2009. Mother's Day is a day honoring mothers, celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (three weeks before Easter Sunday). Mothering Sunday is believed to have originated from the 16th century Christian practice of visiting one's mother church annually, which meant that most mothers would be reunited with their children on this day. Most historians believe that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families. As a result of secularisation, it is now principally used to show appreciation to one's mother, although it is still recognised in the historical sense by some churches, with attention paid to Mary the mother of Jesus Christ as well as the traditional concept 'Mother Church'.
In the United States, Mother's Day was inspired by the British day after the American Civil War. However, it was intended by social activists as a call to unite women against war in a Mother's Day for Peace. From there it took only very few years to turn Mother's Day into one of the commercially most important events of the year and to spread around the world the idea of giving presents as a sign of attention and respect to one's mother. The ideal mother's day gift should be as personal as the relationship. Photo memory gifts often combine the useful or pleasant with personalisation. The online digital photo service Printing-1 drops the delivery charge in time for Mother's day for its photo book and photo canvas printing service. Photo book and canvas print orders placed between the 2nd and 15th of March will be free of delivery and processing charges, saving £4.90 per order.
The Printing-1 Photobook Software for Windows PC and Apple MacOS
According to Printing-1 during the photobook software development special emphasis was laid on flexibility and user comfort. The page numbering style can be chosen for each individual page. Instead of a limiting automatic layout assistant the application provides templates to position images precisely easily. Printing-1 also offers silk matt and glossy paper and its software allows switching between different types of binding and book formats at any time during the design process.
Not only printed photo albums but also online photo sharing
Individual photobooks can be saved online as projects. Before placing a print order, the photo book layout file is uploaded to Printing-1 first. There the photo book can be shared free of charge with friends and family before ordering prints; which is particularly practical when after a party or family event others pay for their own copy. Sending printed memory books directly to friends and family abroad (Europe or the USA) also makes a very personal gift and saves postage.

Flexible and convenient
Printing-1 offers a Windows and Mac OS compatible, online photo service, which can be used with photos from any digital camera or camera phone. Printing-1 specialises in photo books and photo canvas printing only. The digital photo service Printing-1 delivers in the UK and most European countries as well as the USA within two weeks of ordering online. Photo books professionally printed from own digital photographs are on their way to replace the traditional photo album. Apart from the Pocket and the Maxi format Printing-1 is offering three further intermediate sizes.

Printing-1 now with Photobook Calendars
The new version of the Printing-1 photo book software provides new layouts and calendar templates. The demanding photographer or designer on Windows or Apple PCs can now create professionally printed photo book calendars.
Photo books are the creative gift option this Season. More and more often, when the camera or mobile phone cam shutter snaps, images do not get printed. Instead, photo enthusiasts create digital photo albums to get them professionally printed and bound. To display the best snaps around the year, Printing-1 offers now calendar templates in its photo book editing software.

Photo Books are a popular present for friends and family because they combine style, quality and personal expression in each individual and unique book. With the new photo book calendars the online service is entering the also very popular gift category of personalised calendars, with the quality and platform independence (i.e. the photo book software runs on PC as well as on Apple Mac) associated with Printing-1. It’s Management is preparing for a rush of photo book and calendar orders in the coming days and states that orders placed by the 6th of December can still be delivered in the UK and Ireland in time for Christmas.
Printing-1 offers with the photobook software upgrade v3.5 tools to create colour schemes, which can be saved as templates. In addition the number of layout templates has been expanded. Images can be positioned quickly and precisely using templates and can be repositioned freely for a scrapbook design style. Frames can be defined individually for each image but images can also be spread frameless over single or double pages.
The Printing-1 range includes five sizes, starting with small photo booklets (Pocket: (H10.5 cm x W14.8 cm), over A4 size books to the 12”x12” Maxi format photo book, all now also as photo calendars. Printing-1 uses a particularly strong binding process for the hardcover books or linen hardcover, soft cover or spiral and can therefore offer larger books with more pages than other photo book services. Hardcover photo books start with 36 pages and can include up to 144 pages with soft or hardcover. The Printing-1 photo covers come in a choice of colours and can be edited with photographs and text.
The Printing-1 Photo Book Software for Windows PC and Apple MacOS
According to Printing-1 during the software development special emphasis was laid on flexibility and user comfort. Images can be scaled and positioned freely. The page numbering style can be turned on or off for each individual page. Instead of a limiting automatic layout assistant the application provides templates to position images precisely and easily. Printing-1 also offers silk matt and glossy paper and its software allows switching between different types of binding and book formats at any time during the design process.

FotoInsight entices to the photo book experience printing a free booklet for first time users
In the year 2006 over 3 Million individual photo books and photo calendars have been printed by photo labs and printers world wide. Andrew White, Internet Sales Manager at FotoInsight production partner, explains: “We are a little bit behind Germany and France, where photobooks are huge. You only have to show somebody one, though and they immediately want to know how to do it. Therefore this trial will be UK exclusive.” FotoInsight hopes to provide the opportunity to trial its photo book editing software and experience the complete liberty in the positioning and layering of images, transparent texts, and choice of fonts offered by the "cewe photo book printing" software.

A trial with a free printed photo booklet
Managing Director Klaas Brumann explains why FotoInsight is giving away a free photo booklet print: “We detected that one of the greatest barriers to ordering a photo book is that people expect it to be complicated. A common statement in a photo book test is how surprisingly easy it actually is. With the £8 voucher we want to give everyone the opportunity to test the software and printing quality.” In comparison, a photo book is cheaper than photo prints. Conveniently, it is the time of the year, where such a trial print may serve as a very personal Father’s Day photo gift.
In time for Father’s Day
Photo gifts for Father’s Day are left late and less is being spent than on Mother’s Day. With Father’s spending a growing amount of time with their children this may change. To express appreciation for all Dad has to offer it is good to ask him what he was like growing up and what made him who he is today; asking him about his work — his expertise can be unexpectedly valuable; joining Dad in pursuit of his interests and hobbies. The FotoInsight Managing Director and father of two, Klaas Brumann states: “If photographs of great father-child-events like a ball game, building a tool shed, or an adventure holiday are available, those moments are worth to be immortalised in a printed photo album or booklet. And we are proud to printed photo booklets this within reach of ever digital camera user.”
Notes
After applying online through a pop-up window £8 voucher will. A FotoInsight photo booklet contains 26 pages (plus editable cover), each 14 cm wide and 13 cm high (5"x5.5") worth £5.99. P&p is £3.80, the final cost of a 26 page booklet to the consumer after applying the voucher is £1.79. The voucher is time limited has no alternative cash value. The software to edit "cewe photo books" is now available as a free download from http://fotoinsight.co.uk/cewe-photo-books.html.

Can online photo sharing be free?
“A former employee has accused Eastman Kodak Co. of illegally tampering with the quality of customers' digital photos and making false advertising claims, according to a statement issued Wednesday (29 March 2006) by the former employee's attorney” reports DylanMcGrath, business editor at AP. A competing online photo printing service, FotoInsight of Cambridge, UK distances itself from unlimited, free online photo hosting. FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann states: “Providing quality prints for a few cents or pence does not combine with unlimited online storage of multi megabyte image files. FotoInsight only offers uncompressed, printing quality online archiving. We have always stated that this can only be maintained with an honest time limit.”
According to FotoInsight, providing unlimited online photo sharing at print quality is unsustainable with ever larger digital camera image files. FotoInsight provides an online archive option with print orders only, limited to one month, after which users may pay for an extension. Klaas Brumann comments: “Not everything on the internet can be free. There are plenty of sites specializing in online photo sharing, which is a feasible service as long as there is a tap on the size. Ofoto's (Kodak) business idea to use print quality photo files for unlimited hosting is wrong”.
According to FotoInsight, providing photo sharing with free basic features is feasible if financed through the sale of add-on premium services or advertising, as long as the image files remain small. Such online photo sharing sites follow a very different business model from photo printing services like FotoInsight, which specialise in real photographic paper prints and photo gifts requiring print resolution jpegs. “FotoInsight has never understood how Ofoto could accept unlimited storage and online access of multi megabyte jpegs for unlimited time. With Kodak acquiring Ofoto they will have to deal with the accusation by their former director of engineering Maya Raber, to have planned to “irreversibly damage photos”.” FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments from Cambridge: “FotoInsight is proud to facilitate the sharing of photographic memories with a printed photo book or online, across geographic boundaries. Our services endeavour to provide long term quality solutions.”

FotoInsight's New Digital Photo Software
CeBIT, Hannover. 23 March 2006. – FotoInsight.co.uk announces the release of its new photo software package called Home Photo Service. According to FotoInsight the application resolves eight common problems of digital photography. During the first three months FotoInsight is distributing free copies off its website: http://fotoinsight.co.uk/designer-software.html
Digital photography’s popularity has already overtaken analogue colour photography. While photographic prints on inkjet printers still lack behind in quality and price the digital format has taken consumers and business users by storm because of the ease and speed at which images can be stored and transferred across networks including the internet. Once the hard disk is filling up with hi-res images FotoInsight’s Home Photo Service software helps to:
1.- escape lack of hard disk space and high storage costs.
2.- back-up photo collections onto CD-R.
3.- edit, turn, flip, crop digital images, remove red eyes and more.
4.- convert image file to jpeg or other formats.
5.- print on real photographic paper at the same prices as with traditional (analogue) photo printing (from 9p per print).
6.- organise image collections and albums and to find images back.
7.- create slide shows of important events or holiday pictures.
8.- be creative: Print photo calendars, frames, greeting cards.
FotoInsight.co.uk’s new “Home Photo Service Software” resolves all of this and makes ordering prints online really easy. If the internet connection is interrupted during transmission the application will automatically try to communicate with the server to start where the upload was interrupted, without user intervention or the risk of loosing of data etc.
Edit, crop, rotate, zoom etc
It currently is free. FotoInsight is introducing the application with no time limit as a free download. But the free download introduction will last three months only, by then FotoInsight hopes the application will have received many commendations and plans to start charging for the software as for any other image editing application. Free copies (Windows PC or Mac) can be downloaded from:
http://fotoinsight.ie/designer-software.html.
FotoInsight’s Managing Director Klaas Brumann comments from Cambridge: “Photographic memories must never fade. FotoInsight is proud to provide the software that will help to preserve memories in vivid colours.”

Inkjet printing still far from matching
The cost of photo printing on computer printers has dropped up to 30 percent in the last few months thanks to a savage price war, reports the New York Times. The cost is still close to £0.30 / 50cents per print according to product reviewers at Consumer Reports. In the meantime, the price of printing a 4 by 6 inch snapshot at an online photo lab, like FotoInsight is as low as 12pence (FotoInsight.ie 18cents). “At those prices, why bother printing at home?” asks the online publication Slashdot.org in a recent article and continues: “Consumers seem to be saying just that.” For the 12 months ended in July, home printing accounted for just 48 percent of the 7.7 billion digital prints made, down sharply from 64 percent in the previous 12 months, according to the Photo Marketing Association International, a trade group for retailers and camera makers. The overall growth of digital photo printing is up about 68 percent from the year-earlier period - and online digital photo processors clearly have the advantage, which some photo processing services like FotoInsight.co.uk of Cambridge, UK intend to expand their advantage, extending the product range to photo albums, four different styles of photo calendars, a photo book, photo shirts, five different photo mugs, jigsaw puzzles in two sizes and many more photo gift ideas for businesses and families.
