Stockholm, Sweden - Indie game developers PiJa have just released their latest title Quiztador 1.1, a fast-paced, age of conquest themed multiplayer trivia game for iOS. The free-to-play game draws on some of the most popular features from modern game shows, with various tactical tools to help you beat your opponents, such as 50:50 or copy an answer. Build up your available time before the elimination rounds and try to be the last one standing!

At its core, the game is a trivia challenge where 2-4 players prove their mettle in a wide selection of categories ranging from Fashion to Computer & Video games. The basic gameplay is straight forward with four rounds of three question sets, each with four answer options. Each correct answer builds up time - time that ticks down in the following elimination rounds until only one player remains.

Drawing on popular features from modern game shows, the gameplay has added depth by including various tactical tools, such as 50:50 which eliminates two wrong answers and gives the player a 50:50 chance at being right. Or, if you think your opponent knows better, why not copy their answer? The tactics must be chosen wisely however, as they can only be used once per game.

For every completed game the player earns Gold, the single in game currency used to unlock more tactical tools and put together a unique look for your in game avatar. The game features an Elo-based rating system to provide a leaderboard and match players to similar opponents.

Selznick Scientific Software today announces PasswordWallet 4.8.1, an update to its best-selling password management solution for iOS devices. PasswordWallet allows users to automatically sync all their passwords between iOS, Mac, Windows, and Android devices by encrypting and storing passwords and private information in one location, accessible with a single password. Version 4.8.1 can now unlock wallets with Touch ID on iOS, and adds the ability to generate random passwords from templates.

Tucson, Arizona - Selznick Scientific Software today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of PasswordWallet 4.8.1, a free update to its best-selling password management solution for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. PasswordWallet allows users to automatically sync all their passwords between all of their computers and mobile devices via Dropbox. Now in its sixteenth year, the regularly updated application is available for the following operating systems/platforms: Mac OS X, Apple iOS, MS Windows, Android, Windows Mobile, and Palm Pre.

PasswordWallet simply and securely encrypts and stores passwords, usernames, PIN numbers, combinations, personal notes, and other private information. All information is kept safe and easily available via Dropbox, one of the world's largest personal file-hosting service, which is free and compatible with most operating systems.

"PasswordWallet is the only password manager that lets you easily backup, restore, and view your data with any computer with no special software or any paid-for services," explains Sanford Selznick of Selznick Scientific Software. "PasswordWallet is a great safety net and comes fully functional, with no gimmicks, ads, or extra in-app purchases. We're very excited about the new version of PasswordWallet and its ability for the user to unlock their wallet with this new Touch ID fingerprint scanner technology."

Version 4.8.1 provides more functionality and features for iOS users. In addition to the new iOS 7 and 8 look and feel, PasswordWallet now features the iOS Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which is capable of 360-degree readability. Users can now unlock their wallet by using their fingerprint as the passcode. The update also includes the addition of advanced password generation templates so users can create more unique random passwords.

"PasswordWallet is a very powerful and secure Password Manager App for iOS devices," says Imrul Haque of The Tech Journal. "I have just started using this app in my iPhone. PasswordWallet lets you easily backup, restore and view your data with any computer with no special software - even iTunes (is) not required!" (24 Feb 2012)

Feature Highlights:
* Open wallets quickly with Touch ID Fingerprint Unlock
* Fully function with no gimmics, ads or in-app purchases
* Retrieve passwords quickly and effortlessly
* Access passwords, usernames, and other private info with a single master password

PasswordWallet makes it easy for users to lock and unlock all of their passwords with a single master password. Web addresses can even be saved, and PasswordWallet will launch the default browser automatically. Usernames or passwords that are copied to the clipboard are cleared automatically shortly after they are pasted.

"(PasswordWallet) is great for folks who heed the security warnings we're always hearing and have set up strong passwords with a combination of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks," says Daniel Dern of TabletPCReview, who composed an article highlighting the Best Password Management Apps for the iPad and iPhone. "Those 'strong' passwords can be especially hard to recall, and hard to type repeatedly each time you need to use them - especially if you're holding the iPad in one hand and trying to type on the screen with the other!" (21 Nov 2013)

Users can quickly login to any website with PasswordWallet's auto-typing feature. All data is kept safe and protected with 448-bit key Blowfish encryption algorithm. Additionally, PasswordWallet includes a free utility to retrieve lost data from an iTunes backup if the user's device is ever lost or stolen.

tapsBook launches photo book SDK for photo app developers and retailers - Published on 10/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AtomKnows today debuts the first photo book SDK for iOS app developers and photo retailers at the Mobile Photo Connect Conference in San Francisco. The tapsBook SDK can be integrated into any existing iOS app running on iOS 7/8 with minimal coding. It ships with rapid photo book creation tools, built-in page templates, and more. By using the tapsBook SDK, app developers and photo retailers can let their users create and order photo books quickly without leaving their app.

San Francisco, California - Photo startup AtomKnows today debuts the first photo book SDK for iOS app developers and photo retailers at the Mobile Photo Connect Conference in San Francisco. Launched in 2013, AtomKnows became known for tapsBook - its fast mobile photo book creation app featuring innovative work flow and optimized mobile user experience. Upon a successful pilot with 40 beta partners, AtomKnows now offers the core technology behind tapsBook as a photo book creation and ordering SDK for iOS app developers and photo retailers to offer photo book merchandising options effortlessly.

Creating photo book is a popular and creative way for consumers to preserve their favorite digital photos. The existing integration between mobile photo apps and photo book creation software typically requires users to leave the photo app and go to another website to continue the book creation and ordering process; this app-hopping will cause a drop in user engagement and poor user experience. By using the tapsBook SDK, app developers and photo retailers can let their users create and order photo books quickly without leaving their app.

The tapsBook SDK can be integrated into any existing iOS app running on iOS 7/8 with minimal coding. It ships with rapid photo book creation tools, built-in page templates, and flexible integration with fulfillment partners. App developers and photo retailers will be able to create and import custom page templates, as well as choose their own fulfillment partner or use tapsBook's.

During the SDK beta phase, Photo Finale, a leading photo solutions provider, used tapsBook's SDK to create branded iPad photo book apps for 40 national and regional photo business clients such as Mailpix and IPI (Individual Photo Imagers) in 2 months.

"In our business, speed to market is essential and by integrating the tapsBook SDK, we were able to introduce branded photo book creation apps for our retailers in a very short period of time," says Stephen Giordano, Jr., CEO, Photo Finale Inc. "I am pleased by the flexibility the tapsBook SDK offers. Our retail photo businesses are thrilled that they can now have their own app that takes orders for their own photo books that come to them for fulfillment."

The key features of the tapsBook photo book SDK include:
Photo book creation:
* Automatic layout of selected photos into pages
* Mobile-optimized user experience for users to quickly customize the page design
* Advanced styling options including page backgrounds and photo border
* Full featured text editing options including 20 built-in fonts, size and color
* Drag and drop page sorter - rearrange pages with ease

Photo book templates:
* Built-in page templates with 100 layout options
* Options to import custom templates and backgrounds

Photo book ordering:
* Integrated photo book fulfiller network, optional eCommerce integration
* Flexibility to support fulfillment partners of app developer/photo retailer's choice

"As an app developer, you care most about user engagement and monetization - that is where we want to help," says Sherwood Yao, CEO, AtomKnows. "We created the SDK to help photo apps and retailers add an engaging iOS-native visual storytelling experience to their apps and monetize this experience."

LinkOptimizer for InDesign Adds New Variable Image Name Options - Published on 10/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zevrix Solutions today announces LinkOptimizer 4.9.26, a feature update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows to reduce InDesign link size and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data. The software also performs image adjustments, converts formats and helps repurpose files for web and mobile devices. The new version lets users insert time stamp into variable names of optimized images.

Toronto (ON) Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces LinkOptimizer 4.9.26, a feature update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

The new version lets users insert time stamp into the variable names of optimized images. This is especially useful for the users who need to assign a unique file name to each optimized image. LinkOptimizer gives an option to insert separate tokens for the hour, minute and second of the processing time. In addition, the update allows to insert the source InDesign file name into the final image variable name.

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK
* Apply color profile
* Resave JPEG images as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. In addition, the software can apply sharpening filters, merge layers and delete hidden ones, and process copies of InDesign documents and images instead of original files. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer 4.9.26 can be purchased from the Zevrix website for USD $259.95 (Light version: $179.95) as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $130 to upgrade from previous versions. LinkOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.6-10.9 and works with Adobe InDesign and Photoshop CS3-CC 2014.

Red Giant's Offload: Footage Backup App for All Cameras & Media Formats - Published on 10/15/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland based Red Giant today releases Offload, a brand new standalone application for reliable backup of footage in the field. Available alone or as part of the Red Giant Shooter Suite, Offload makes the often unreliable and tedious task of backing up files from camera card to laptop and external drives a hassle-free experience. Offload is media and camera agnostic, and requires no additional equipment used in the normal footage offload process.

Portland, Oregon - Red Giant today released Offload, a brand new standalone application for reliable backup of footage in the field. Available alone or as part of the Red Giant Shooter Suite, Offload makes the often unreliable and tedious task of backing up files from camera card to laptop and external drives a hassle-free experience. Offload is media and camera agnostic, and requires no additional equipment used in the normal footage offload process.

"When your work sits on a tiny, plastic camera card, anything can happen, on location or in transit," said Shooter Suite Product Manager Randon Morford. "Too often, shooters discover that their footage has been lost through a corrupted offload process or through damaged hardware. Red Giant Offload eliminates the stress that every filmmaker goes through between shooting and delivery - it gives you the peace of mind that your footage was safely copied with the added benefit of automating an additional backup."

"I've experienced hard drive corruption before and lost a huge amount of data," said filmmaker Trevor McIntosh, who has also worked as a DIT. "Offload's backup and checksum features make me feel safe about my footage."

Unlike a typical footage "copy and paste" backup operation, Offload gives users clear visual assurances that their footage has been safely copied. The user interface features progress indicators as well as footage thumbnails, and offers file verification notices so that users are assured that their work has been safely transferred to disk. Users can also opt to make an additional, automated backup of their footage. Reliability does not supersede simplicity, however - rather it's a marriage of the two. The app is clean, simple to use and requires just a few clicks of the mouse to get Offload going.

"Offload knows data wrangling isn't my day job," said filmmaker Jason Wingrove. "It's not just the easiest, safest way to copy my footage, but it's also the best on-set app for letting me stay on set!"

The Red Pledge:
Red Pledge is Red Giant's commitment to customer happiness, with no purchasing hassles. Learn about the Red Pledge guarantee.

Pricing and Availability:
Red Giant Offload is now available for just $49 USD. Crossgrade (for existing BulletProof users): $29. For current Shooter Suite owners (v.12.5), Offload now comes as a free addition. To learn more about Offload and for purchasing information, please visit the product page. Members of the press are invited to review Red Giant Offload.

Users who complete the Win an Automation Workflow entry form on the company's site are eligible to win a free PitStop2Switch Bundle, valued at GBP 3477, along with a day of integration and consultancy services valued at GBP 895.

London, United Kingdom - XChange UK are excited to announce an automation software and integration giveaway competition to celebrate the launch of their new web site. In conjuction with the launch of the new site, XChange UK have also changed their company logo and identity for a fresh new look. Users who complete the Win an Automation Workflow entry form on the company's site are eligible to win a free PitStop2Switch Bundle, valued at GBP 3477, along with a day of integration and consultancy services valued at GBP 895.

XChange UK have evolved over the years and have redesigned their web site to better reflect current services, which include consultancy, integration and training alongside workflow automation and productivity enhancement software. As customers' needs changed and in tandem with the popularity of PDF as a file delivery medium, XChange UK advanced to be able to provide automation solutions for production processes. XChange have always taken an active part in their customers' business activities and the prime recurring requirement has been the need to simplify and automate repetitive manual tasks.

"We are really excited about this valuable giveaway," offers Tami Stodghill, Press Relations Manager for XChange UK. "Automation can offer immediate and long-term savings in time, money, errors and efficiency. More and more of our customers are enquiring as to what they can do to increase profits and improve customer service without sacrificing quality. Automation is the answer. This package is a fantastic chance for a company to win a completely automated workflow that can be customised to their specific workflow needs. All users need to do is tell us why they believe they should be the winning entry."

Included in the PitStop2Switch giveaway bundle are both PitStop Server 12 and Switch 12. PitStop2Switch is the perfect way for any size business to step up their production, improve customer service and free up staff time for what's important. Businesses implementing an automated workflow can immediately start increasing profits and reducing errors! With PitStop Server ensuring PDF output is flawless and Switch 12 automating the repetitive tasks associated with creating, receiving and sorting files, any company will experience a customised and more efficient production workflow.

Robert Banbury, Production Project Development Specialist at The Economist, a magazine with a global subscriber base, says, "After considering all available automation systems at the time, our decision to choose Enfocus Switch was influenced in part by its ability to integrate with third-party applications, giving us the choice of some of the best available technology then and into the future; and also the easy-to-follow graphical user interface."

Enfocus PitStop Server 12 is a stand-alone and hotfolder-based application that allows users to easily set up and manage PDF based workflows. A PitStop Server hot folder is actually a collection of dedicated folders for batch PDF processing. Users create such folders on the hard disk of their computer or on a network drive. Enfocus PitStop Server automatically processes PDF documents that arrive in a given input folder of this hotfolder and places the processed files based on the result accordingly in the specified output folder.

The original PDF document and the preflight results can be saved in the same (or a different) folder, depending on whether processing was successful or not. PitStop Server can process in the background, even after closing the PitStop Server application

Enfocus PitStop Server allows users to successfully operate and manage workflow procedures on PDF documents and includes the Adobe Normalizer transparency flattener to give consistent, high-quality output whether for print, the web or for viewing on iPad. New image correction capabilities allow users to adjust images using Photoshop-like curves. They can easily change contrast or remove a colour cast (per channel or overall), adjust brightness and contrast, or apply unsharp mask to enhance the edges of objects in the image. PitStop's Action Lists include options to add blur or sharpen an image.

PitStop Server fits seamlessly into Enfocus Switch to provide preflighting and auto-correction of PDF files in a bigger automated workflow. Users can:

* Automatically download PDF files from FTP servers or receive them through e-mail
* Preflight them and notify your customers automatically of problem files
* Combine PitStop Server's capabilities with other key publishing tools to create PDF files, do colour management and ink optimisation, image optimisation, proofing, impositioning and more

Enfocus Switch 12 fully automates the quality of files, and exactly how they're created, shared and received. Switch uses a company's existing applications, systems and servers in new and intelligent ways to create the smartest automated production workflow in existence, customised for the way they do business. Enfocus Switch eliminates errors, streamlines repetitive functions and drives productivity to levels previously unattainable. Switch is perfect for any size business or organisation. Whether a company uses a simple flow for file handling or an advanced flow that relies on multiple configurations and links to a company's other business software, Switch brings order to chaotic and challenging environments.

Switch gives any organisation the tools they need to be successful now, and when they experience growth and begin exploring new revenue streams, Switch will be there to flexibly accommodate their business as their workflow requirements change.

"Enfocus is recognised for it's products' abilities to extensively automate any kind of workflow, and add new and cost effective capabilities in an easy and affordable way." - Cory Sawatzki, Director of Print Technology at Consolidated Graphics

The giveaway competition includes a full day of integration and users can be up and running, and experiencing the benefits of automation right away.

Ready for OS X Yosemite: DEVONagent 3.8.2 and DEVONthink 2.8.1 - Published on 10/16/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEVONtechnologies, LLC today updates all editions of DEVONagent, its smart research assistant for OS X. Search the web like never before. DEVONagent Pro queries all major and minor search engines, weeds out all the junk, and presents the really good stuff nicely ranked the way you want. The update to version 3.8.2 gets all editions of DEVONagent ready for OS X Yosemite. Interface adjustments and other fixes make them compatible to Apple's newest Mac operating system.

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies, LLC updates all editions of its smart research assistant DEVONagent. The update to version 3.8.2 gets all editions of DEVONagent ready for OS X Yosemite. Interface adjustments and other fixes make them compatible to Apple's newest Mac operating system.

All editions of DEVONagent now also search Baidu, the #1 search engine in China. DEVONagent Pro lets users share web content via the Mac's native share mechanism on OS X Mountain Lion or later. Web addresses are named and displayed more user-friendly for a better research experience. For better highlighting and more accurate summaries DEVONagent Pro now uses a secondary search term if entered.

Scanners in version 3.8.2 are more accurate. Some overhauled scanner plugins return better results and are more reliable. Scanners in DEVONagent are plugins that filter results by formal criteria. For example they return only thumbnail galleries or pages with embedded videos. The new version also better filters links to social media, e.g. retweets.

All editions of DEVONthink as well as DEVONnote have received maintenance updates, too. Version 2.8.1 fixes a few more incompatibilities to the latest public beta of OS X Yosemite. It also works better with user-installed Spotlight plugins and imports incompatible files as generic items.

DEVONthink Pro Office 2.8.1 automatically reinstalls its Apple Mail plugin if necessary also on German and French systems. Finally, DEVONtechnologies has also increased the trial limit for imported email messages. Users can now import up to 1,000 messages per day when test-driving the app.

All updates come also with further improvements, are more reliable, and fix some bugs.

"Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo are great search engines and easy to use. If one is serious about research, however, and wants to make sure to catch everything about a subject, then there's DEVONagent Pro. This new version returns even more accurate results, filters superfluous links, and creates precise summaries. Just what a good assistant does: help you get the job done." comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.
