LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--Ortery Technologies launches Photosimile 5000.

   Imagine walking up to a new office device, placing an object
inside, and seconds later walking away with a professional photo for
immediate use in all print, web and email communications. Taking its
name from "facsimile", Photosimile 5000 is the next generation imaging
device for the office.

   This PC-controlled desktop photography studio integrates a 28 x 28
x 28" light box (featuring 6500K daylight bulbs, an automated camera
positioning system and a built-in 3D turntable) with a Canon digital
camera and powerful workflow software to simplify and automate
business photography. With Photosimile 5000, anyone can create
professional, shadow-free pictures ideal for web, print and daily
business communication. No experience necessary.

   The camera and light box connect to a PC via USB. Photosimile 5000
software controls the studio, camera location, turntable movement,
camera settings, picture taking and processing workflows. Simply place
an item inside, compose using Preview, Zoom and Crop commands in the
software. Click Snap and the picture automatically downloads to the PC
screen in seconds. Users can annotate, mask, email and batch process
images with regards to file name, size, resolution, watermarking and
saving.

   Photosimile 5000 also creates 360-degree product shots and
spherical 3D flash animations. It boasts the ability to hold up to
25lbs and take up to 72 pictures per 360-degree rotation at 9 unique
angles from 0 to 90 degrees. Fully automated, Photosimile 5000 can
take and stitch 20 pictures in approximately 2.5 minutes. Images can
be exported as JPGs or stitched together in the software to create
animated GIF or Flash files. "The trend of offering website visitors
360-degree product views is just beginning," said Sam Shearer,
Managing Director, Ortery Technologies, Inc. "However, it will quickly
become a competitive requirement critical to eCommerce success."

   When a company creates a good product picture or animation, it
pays for itself over and over when put to use internally or by channel
partners. Photosimile 5000 offers everyone the opportunity, regardless
of photography experience, to create professional pictures and
animations that can be used in an endless amount of applications.

   Photosimile 5000 is compatible with Windows ME/2000/XP and will be
available March 2008. Price to be determined.

   Founded February 2003 with offices in California and Taiwan,
Ortery Technologies is the leading provider of business photography
automation tools. www.ortery.com
