OMAHA, NE – June 30, 2005 – macware™ (a division of Summitsoft Corporation) announced today the release of its new version of photo manipulation software. PhotoEdit 2 makes editing a snap with innovative new features that include a Smart Crop tool, DPI adjustment, new filters & effects, an effects editor that allows users to create virtually any effect, and more control over redeye removal.

"PhotoEdit 2 developed through intensive study of our core PhotoEdit user base," states Ishan Amin, Summitsoft’s VP of Product Development. "We discovered our PhotoEdit customers were also avid iPhoto users who needed some additional editing options, advanced crop tools, and the popular ability to paint or draw directly on their photos."

Becoming a photography pro is child's play using the quick and easy features of PhotoEdit 2. Develop your creative skills using tons of image filters, special effects and text creation. For the professional in you, try a more creative approach by designing your own unique filters and effects with powerful script and brush editors, or use the paint & draw tools to add an artistic touch to your photos. PhotoEdit 2 users can even go beyond basic redeye removal by picking a replacement eye color.

PhotoEdit 2 is now available for purchase in CompUSA, Fry's Electronics, Microcenter and other software retailers or online for an MSRP of $29.99.
