Transfer Full-Resolution Pics with a Click from 350 Handsets
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ShoZu Inc. announced today that
Adobe(R) Photoshop(R).com members can use its mobile social media service
to quickly and easily upload photos from more than 350 different handsets
to Photoshop.com accounts. ShoZu's service allows Adobe Photoshop.com users
to take advantage of support for additional handsets that include Apple(R)
iPhone(TM), Apple(R) iPod touch, Motorola RAZR2, a range of phones
including Nokia 5310 and Nokia 6301, and BlackBerry(R) Pearl(TM).
"The big challenge of taking photos with your mobile phone is
transferring them to the Web. We have simplified the process for more than
50 destinations, and Photoshop.com is an important addition," said ShoZu
CEO Mark Bole. "Photoshop.com offers a combination of photo storage and
backup, online photo editing, interactive photo galleries, creative
inspiration, and value-added tutorials for Adobe software users that gives
it broad appeal for anyone who takes photos of any kind -- whether with a
camera phone or digital camera."
ShoZu Mobile Media Service
With the ShoZu application downloaded to the handset free of charge,
Photoshop.com users can transfer full-resolution photos with accompanying
titles and descriptions from the phone to their Photoshop.com account with
a few clicks. There is no need to open a mobile browser; interrupt phone
calls, text messaging or camera use while images are transferring; or start
over in the event of a dropped connection.
In addition, ShoZu users can simultaneously upload any given image to
any number of Web destinations -- ranging from Photoshop.com, Facebook,
Google Blogger and WordPress to multiple email addresses -- without leaving
the ShoZu application. This not only eliminates the need for multiple
uploads but also eliminates multiple data charges from the wireless
provider where applicable.
"The proliferation of camera phones has made capturing moments and
memories more spontaneous," said Geoff Baum, Director of Photoshop.com at
Adobe. "Until now, there weren't many options for uploading, storing,
editing and sharing photos from mobile phones. We're excited to provide a
complete solution to Photoshop.com users through the recent Photoshop.com
Mobile beta introduction. Now, with the addition of ShoZu, we are extending
mobile support for Photoshop.com to a wide range of additional camera
phones."
Adobe Photoshop.com Membership & Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile
Adobe recently introduced Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere
Elements 7, along with the option to sign-up for one year of Photoshop.com
membership, extending the capabilities of the software by regularly
providing helpful templates and creative tutorials. Photoshop.com Plus*
membership provides 20GB of storage -- enough for 15,000 photos, four hours
of DVD-quality videos or a combination of both.
Today, Photoshop.com Mobile beta offers support for a variety of
Windows mobile devices including, Samsung Blackjack,I and II, Motorola Q 9h
and 9m, Palm Treo 700w/wx and 750, with additional phones and platforms
