It protects this library with strong 256-bit encryption and password access. Personal photos are kept safe from prying eyes, including curious children, hackers or repressed computer repair personnel. The viewing interface comes with a variety of "moods," including magazine, romance, leather, lingerie and latex.

Sexy Photos Now More Fun, Safe From Prying Eyes With CoupleBox

New PC Software Keeps Personal Pictures Secure - In a Stylish Way

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Keeping personal erotica on a PC can mean trouble if not properly protected. Just ask some of today's celebrities and rock stars whose private steamy pictures have gone public as a result of computer hacking or theft. But protecting intimate photos is not just a problem for the famous. People everywhere worry about someone discovering their collection of sexy snapshots. As a result, Stylin Designs today announced the launch of an innovative software product called CoupleBox, which keeps intimate photos and videos secure and improves the viewing experience.

"Couples are making greater use of digital erotica. In addition to downloading online material, they are increasingly having fun with digital cameras by taking sexy shots to capture those special moments," said Adrian Lall, Stylin Designs CEO. "We saw a growing need to keep things private while making viewing more fun than dealing with folders and boring blue-and-gray media players."

CoupleBox stores imported photos and videos in a separate area of your hard-drive so they don't mingle with regular files. It protects this library with strong 256-bit encryption and password access. Personal photos are kept safe from prying eyes, including curious children, hackers or titillated computer repair personnel.

In addition to security, what grabs users are the selectable moods that change the look of CoupleBox. The default mood gives the feel of a high-end magazine. Other moods include romance, leather, lingerie and latex.

Using CoupleBox feels more like operating a portable device or game. "It's very cool. You forget you're using a computer," says Katy Terrega, a CoupleBox user. Simple buttons allow organizing a collection, marking favorites, selecting playlists and archiving the library.

"With CoupleBox, you no longer worry about having stuff on your PC and can access it instantly," said Lall. "It's the photo application for things we don't want to share."

A free trial and full version (US $19.95) are now available worldwide at www.couplebox.com
