Hemera Technologies Ships Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection

Hull, Canada - June 21st, 1999 -  Hemera Technologies announced today that Hemera Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection, the latest product offering from Hemera, is now available in the retail channel. This extensive all-purpose collection of royalty-free Photo-Objects is ideal for desktop publishing, graphic and web design, SOHO and corporate markets.

Hemera Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection, the next generation of clip art, includes over 25,000 professional-quality Photo-Object images, plus PhotoFont Maker, a revolutionary application that allows for the creation of photographic quality textured fonts within seconds. Hemera's Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection operates under Windows® 95, 98 and Windows NT® 4.0 and will have an estimated street price of $49.99 US after a $20.00 US mail in rebate.

"This is an incredible collection of quality Photo-Objects" said Marc-Antoine Benglia, President of Hemera Technologies. "Just one year ago this type of high-quality image collection was only available in limited numbers to professional graphics artists, and now we offer the largest collection of Photo-Objects in the world to all computer users regardless of their graphic knowledge."

Hemera Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection contains professional-quality, royalty-free photo-objects that have been cut out or "cropped" from their original background which means the user is not restricted to a rectangular shape. The innovative plain-English search engine gives instant feedback to the user, allowing them to quickly access any of the 25,000 Photo-Objects. Hemera Photo-Objects and Photo-Fonts can be easily dragged and dropped into word processors, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics applications, Web pages or desktop publishing programs making them perfect for a broad range of consumers.

Hemera Photo-Objects 25,000 Premium Image Collection contains several new features designed to make it even easier for the user to create great looking projects. Hemera now gives users the ability to control the DPI (Dots Per Square Inch) within the application before exporting or dragging & dropping the image into another application which greatly simplifies the process of balancing print quality versus file size. PhotoFont Maker has also been improved to allow for seamless tiling of textures within a specified font. This means that users are no longer restricted by point size or word length when applying a texture to a specified font.
