 SeeFile shows software update at PMA 2006 show : At the PMA 2006, SeeFile will be showing a major upgrade to their software package, fulfilling on a promise to improve often and well a product that was deemed best of show last year by, among others Joe Farace of Shutterbug and Liz Cunningham of Cygnus Publications. The Macintosh-based software is aimed at photographers, designers, and smaller graphic arts shops looking for a way to promote their work and interact with customers on the Internet. Traditional solutions to this problem have cost as much as $50,000. The SeeFile 2.0 software system is being shown at PMA 2006 at a complete price of only $995, including hardware that puts a Web server on an affordable platform.

 SeeFile - Butkowski Digital Imaging
"SeeFile is a photo gallery / ftp site / email program all in one," according to Joel Butkowski, principal of Butkowski Digital Imaging, "and a central point for clients to communicate with me on their own time schedule while I'm off to the next shoot." A commercial photographer, Joel is such a fan of SeeFile that he will be in the booth in Orlando on Sunday and Monday to show his files and talk about how he uses it. He continues, "It's a phenomenal delivery system. No more burning CD's or overnight shipping. With my images stored at high resolution, the client downloads files at their convenience. Within minutes after shooting I have them on-line. Plus, this gives me an e-mail trail of work requests because comments are attached to the images. Photographers are struggling to master a digital workflow and need to get paid for retouching. SeeFile leaves a record for my billing."
SeeFile President Sam Bogoch
"Our customers are keeping control of their images and tracking both usage and change requests." notes SeeFile President Sam Bogoch. "Our aim is to keep the product easy to use and constantly improve it. With SeeFile 2.0 we have added twenty features our users were asking for."
