Michelle Walker – Less Ego, More Profits
Wednesday, January 24 at 1:00 p.m. PT

We are pleased to invite our members to meet Michelle Walker online at our next Pictage ProInteractive webinar, Wednesday, January 24 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. 

Michelle is a top wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay area.  She took a
giant leap in restructuring her business one year ago.  As a result, her profits for 2006 were greater than ever. 

Michelle will share her strategy for giving up control of her back office so she can focus on her photography and marketing.  She’ll also reveal how she cultivates multiple referrals by networking with wedding industry professionals.

Pictage ProInteractive webinars are an exclusive benefit for our members.  To register, please go to the Pictage Forum and look for the link in the “General” category.

If you’d like Michelle to answer your questions about planning for a more profitable 2007, submit them in advance to webinar@pictage.com.

An Exclusive Pictage Event
We are excited to announce Pictage’s new plans for the upcoming Imaging USA event, held January 14th-16th, 2007 in San Antonio, Texas.

We are making changes to the booth so that it is a "members only" area. In the booth, instead of spending all your time listening to speeches, you’ll actually get a chance for some quality one-on-one time with top photography industry leaders and Pictage users. Just stop by our booth #431 for your chance to chat live and learn from the best. Get all your questions answered from David Ziser, Liana Lehman, Nathan & Amber Holritz and David Jay. We will also have a Product Manager inside the booth each day to discuss the latest in upcoming products. Please continue to check out the forums as we will update the speaker schedules as they continue to sign up.

After the tradeshow closes on January 15, Pictage will host a special Booth Party with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and more.

All of these events are EXCLUSIVE to Pictage members and their ‘plus one’ ONLY. So, DON’T FORGET to stop by our booth to pick up your credentials for access to Pictage’s booth and all of our exclusive events!

We look forward to seeing you at Imaging USA!

You asked for it. You got it!
After the release of AD 2.0, we listened carefully to your suggestions regarding what more could the Album Designer do for you. Now, we are excited to announce that the release of the newly revamped AD 3.0 surely promises the ability to make your albums completely customizable with the addition of these key new features.

1. Adding Text: Personalize your album by choosing from a variety of different fonts and colors. Or, customize your own font and save it for future use.
2. Customize Image Openings: Easily change the aspect ratios or shapes of image openings on a mat with a click of your mouse.
3. Customize Mats: Rotate your images on the mat to any degree desired. You can also add or remove an opening to a mat.
4. Endless Background Colors: Perfectly match your background colors to any element from the event, by entering an RGB code or hexcode, or by selecting from our color chart.
5. Multiple Selection Tool: Select multiple openings at a time to apply toning options, borders, opacity, and opening shapes.

We hope you enjoy all that AD 3.0 has to offer you, like convenience, customization, and timesaving techniques.
