MacWorld, San Francisco, CA – January 10, 2001 – Hemera™ Technologies, a world leader in wholly owned digital image content, announced today the
availability of Hemera Photo-Objects™ 50,000 Premium Image Collection
for the Macintosh®. Hemera is the first company to meet the needs of
both the SOHO market as well as the graphic design, illustration, web
and publishing markets for a low-cost, high quality royalty-free image
collection with a twist – the images have already been masked, therefore
eliminating the need for users to create the transparency themselves.

“We have seen strong demand from the Mac community for a Photo-Objects title for the Macintosh platform,” said David Hood, CEO of Hemera. “Our PC version has been highly successful, winning many industry awards, and we are responding to the Mac community with a product that offers incredible quality and value. Users will be impressed by the vast number of professional images contained in the Hemera Photo-Objects Collection.”

In addition to the 50,000 Photo-Objects included within the package is a
bonus application called PhotoFont Maker that allows users to instantly
create photographic quality textured fonts. Users simply select a font
and then choose one of the 200 photo-textures included within the
collection or they can use one of their own photos.

Pricing and availability:
Hemera Photo-Objects 50,000 Premium Image Collection for the Macintosh
is now available from many popular retail outlets, mail-order and online
resellers for an estimated street price of $79.99 USD
