Callisto Announces PhotoParade(TM) Product Line

Natick, Mass., -- Callisto Corporation announces the availability of PhotoParade(TM), the first consumer digital photo software that combines high-quality animation, graphics, music, sound effects, and text titling with a consumer's digital photos. PhotoParade allows users to effortlessly package their personal photos in entertaining presentations by combining them with one of the specially designed PhotoParade themes.

The software is designed to let users learn about and incrementally add new features to PhotoParade by visiting the PhotoParade web site. In addition to product information, the web site provides inexpensive software add-ons for PhotoParade which users can download and install immediately. This feature enables users to purchase only the individual components of PhotoParade they choose, and to add new components to their PhotoParade software as they become available.

PhotoParade is designed to simplify the process of sharing an entire "roll" of digital photos by e-mail. A finished PhotoParade is a single, pre-compressed file containing all of the user's photos which can be viewed using the freely-distributed PhotoParade Player software. While it is currently straightforward for users to share single photos by e-mail, PhotoParade is the first software that makes it easy to share a polished-looking "album" of photos by e-mail.

The PhotoParade product line includes PhotoParade Maker, PhotoParade Screen Saver, the free PhotoParade Player and a wide variety of unique and inventive themes designed to enhance and display digital photos. Each unique theme has its own music, animation and art.
