Photokina hosts the first preview of BLUBOX Version 3

BLUBOX Software, the leading innovator in digital image compression and optimization has chosen to provide pre-launch previews of its revolutionary BLUBOX Version 3 offering at photokina.

Photokina is Europe’s largest exhibition for image management and communication. The event is rightly regarded as the major platform for showcasing new technology in this sector. BLUBOX will be providing advance viewings of BLUBOX Version 3 in Hall 10.2, Stand A016 from 26th September to 1st October.

BLUBOX Version 3 is an essential new utility for anyone who sends, stores or shares any digital images. It combines phenomenal compression capability (up to 90%) to ease storage and sharing with advanced encryption technology to ensure guaranteed privacy at all times.

Unlike previous generation products, images can be viewed and printed while still compressed. They can also be returned to their original digital format (eg: JPEG, TIFF). BLUBOX Version 3 supports and manages over 480 digital image formats. For any personal, group or corporate user of images, BLUBOX solves the twin problems of managing large file sizes and data privacy simultaneously.

BLUBOX Version 3 will not be launched until December 2006 but demand for previews has been so great that it has been decided to allow pre-release views of the technology at photokina.
