New plug-in series offered by HP photo software supplier.
Preclick Corporation, maker of HP Photosmart Essential software, announced today free and premium add-in features and services, found at www.photoback.com. Photo backup and holiday card making are immediately available. In December, photo emailing and other features will be added to the plug-in family for HP customers.
Preclick(R)-powered HP Photosmart Essential, the easy and full-featured photo organizer, is available free at www.hp.com/go/pse. This year HP will ship Photosmart Essential worldwide in 22 languages with HP printers, scanners, cameras and selected products.
"We asked people when they last backed up family photos," said Preclick CEO Brian Smiga. "Nearly 100% of customers wanted to backup, copy and make CDs and USB drives to share, but they needed a product to remind them and to back up automatically."
