## Welcome to Kai's Photo Soap

Kai's Photo Soap is photo manipulation software for the home user.
Kai's Photo Soap offers an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that
allows a novice to perform sophisticated image editing functions on
family snapshots. Colorful controls and animated tools of Kai's Photo
Soap allow for instant cropping, touch up and color correction.

Kai's Photo Soap follows Kai's Power GOO, the best-selling and award-
winning funware graphics product, as the second consumer product
launched by MetaTools. Known for their simple, easy-to-understand user
interfaces, MetaTools' products combine sophisticated mathematics,
one-step image editing and realtime rendering to give powerful
computer software tools to the novice and professional user.

Tools of the Trade

Kai's Photo Soap comes with a comprehensive set of life-like animated
tools, such as pens, pencils, brushes and erasers, which can be stored
in virtual desk drawers. The user picks the easiest, most logical tool
for the job and runs it quickly over the photo, smoothing shadows or
coloring the grass green. Uniquely, the tools take on real-life
characteristics. For instance, the paint brushes "bend" just like a
real brush pushed against a hard surface and pencils flip over in
order to use the eraser. Some tools offer special one-step uses, such
as the red-eye removal brush.

Unlike other existing software, the Kai's Photo Soap desktop mimics
how people actually work in real life. After finishing with a tool,
just drop it anywhere on the desktop. For example, a left-handed
person may leave more frequently used brushes and pens scattered on
the left side of the desktop. Messy users may have brushes dropped
right where they last used them, while another user may line up the
brushes neatly according to size and color. An auto-save function
saves the desktop just as it looked last, or an auto clean function
sweeps the tools back in the virtual drawers.

Soap Washes Away Wrinkles and Other Imperfections

Kai's Photo Soap makes it easy to embark on the shoeboxes of photos in
everyone's closet. In just a couple of minutes, mom can change the
color of her son's red eyes in a little league photo or "heal" the
scar seen on her daughter's class picture. Scratches and tears on
antique family photos now repair in a matter of seconds.

Soap's many "clean up" uses include:

 * Newlyweds can repair priceless photos by correcting over- and
   under- exposed wedding photos.
 * Real estate brokers can paint the sky blue on house photos taken
   on cloudy days and paint-out unsightly lawn furniture.
 * Business professionals can eliminate under-eye circles for company
   directory photos and smooth wrinkles on CEO portraits.
 * Teenagers can remove acne and blemishes from embarrassing high
   school yearbook photographs.
 * Moms can remove teenager's nose ring from family portraits in
   order to send to grandma.
 * Novice photographers can lighten sunsets, brighten basement photos
   and remove red-eye.
 * Divorcees can erase their ex-spouses from family photos and rub-
   out the tattoo of their former partner's name.
 * Genealogy buffs can restore heirloom photos that have cracked and
   yellowed over the years.

Input and Creative Output

Kai's Photo Soap works with many file types and users can scan photos,
pull pictures from the Web, take photographs with a digital camera or
have snapshots digitized at nearly any photo finishing store. Supplied
backgrounds and photo-realistic clip art give an amateur the polish of
a professional. Finished projects can be displayed as calendars,
greeting cards, screen savers, on Web pages, printed to color printers
or output at Kinko's or other print shops.
