Torrance, CA – (May 9, 2000) – Ulead Systems, Inc., a leading developer of
image editing, video editing and Web graphics software, announced today a
new media sharing Web site for consumer digital media users. iMira.com is
Ulead’s largest effort to date to establish the company as a primary force
in the Internet media space — a mission set by Ulead’s executive team in
December 1999.
“Ulead has always been a pioneer in the Web marketplace,” said Danielle
Liao, president of Ulead Systems, Inc. “We were first to create integrated
Web tools, then first to develop technologies and online retailer
relationships that offer easy and convenient ways to buy those tools
online. Now, iMira.com has a unique opportunity to provide Ulead’s 3.5
million registered users with a solution that brings together the best of
our desktop applications and Web services.”

Launched today in the U.S., iMira.com provides one easy-to-use and friendly
destination to store, share and showcase personal media files. Today, the
site focuses on supporting the needs of digital photography users; however,
applications and services for video and audio enthusiasts will be available
shortly. Users can upload existing files and store 20 MB in a Gallery for
future projects. Digital photography users can now create online photo
albums accessible by friends and family and send electronic greeting cards
for all
types of holidays and events. Through a partnership with Photo Access,
users will be able to create memorable gifts from the photos they store
online. Finally, the site will offer a large selection of free,
downloadable photos and animations. iMira.com can be viewed in several
languages including English, Chinese and Japanese.
