About
eFotoXpress
eFotoXpress
is a software utility that uses wavelet compression technology
and the new JPEG2000 standard to easily compress very large images
so that they may be sent by e-mail without any loss in quality.
eFotoXpress is the first product that uses the new JPEG2000 standard
so that compressed images may be sent via e-mail. New eFotoXpress
features include encoding voice with the images so that the recipient
can now listen to voice messages as well as view text along with
photos. eFotoXpress is a boon to the over 30 million digital camera
users in the U.S. and beyond because it is able to compress very
large images (from 80m) to small images (to 60K). eFotoXpress
can also substantially reduce storage costs up to 80%. Large images
can be saved in smaller file sizes and archived.
The
eFotoXpress product is an easy-to-use photo utility that compresses
images with highest possible efficiency. The digital images can
be sent to many different recipients with one click of button.
This product is designed to compress any high-resolution JPEG
images from different digital cameras, scanners and camcorders.
eFotoXpress works with many email utilities, such as Microsoft
Outlook, Yahoo, and Hotmail. This utility will allow digital camera
users to send more digital pictures over the Internet at a greater
speed through the use of highly integrated compression technologies.
