    We've put together a new digital photo management application. Our web site is still under construction, but you can get the gist of it here: http://brilliantlabs.com/[^] If you have a digital camera and you're interested in helping me test the software, please reply to this e-mail with your current contact information, a brief summary of your operating environment (hardware, OS, etc.) and the type of digital camera(s) you use.

      It would be better if you can post what are the system requirements for your application to run on the client side. Ex: OS required : RAM required : IE required : Video Card : What Digital cameras it supports:

        KaЯl, The application runs on Windows 98 and up. Thumbnails are loaded into memory one screen at a time, so nominal memory usage running full screen is around 20MB. You'll get better performance if you have 20MB free physical RAM to work with. The install includes the redistributables to update SHFolder.dll and ComCtl32.dll, so it doesn't require any particular version of IE other than the OS requirement already mentioned. Alpha blending effects are used and, it is a photo management app, so the faster your video card, the snappier it will be. It does require a color depth of at least 16-bits (256 color modes not supported for working with 24-bit JPEG images). It support pretty much any digital camera, but you'll get best results if your camera supports some version of EXIF and importing is easiest if your camera connects via USB (serial and TWAIN connections are not directly supported). I'll update the web site to include this information. Thanks for your feedback. Jim Lamb Brilliant Labs, Inc.

            I would be happy to beta test. I am getting ready to kick of a photo session of my kids using my HP 812 digital camera. My camera has 256 megs of memory, connects via USB and totally rules. My two main computers are Windows 2000 running on PII-650 with 512 Megs Ram and 15 gig hard drive. Windows XP running on 2.53 Gig Toshiba Satellite with 1 gig memory and 60 gig hard-drive using USB 2.0. Optionally I can use my kids computer as well it is on Windows ME, PII-200 with 164 megs ram and a 10 gig hard drive. I can bring in other testers and equipment if you would like. Please let me know how many testers you are after. I have some very close friends that would be willing to help and they fall in every category you described. Thanks!!!

                  I would love to test. I still need to find an application that can handle edge to edge prints on my Canon 900, the only one that can do it properly is the crappy one that came with the printer...

                    If I click on your site's "contact us" link, I get: "You have sent a message to the mailing list 'Beta' which is not a discussion forum. The message will not be sent to the list members." What does that mean??? The content of my message was: Hi, I noticed your post on The Code Project and am interested in beta testing your product. I’m actually developing a photo-album organizer myself (a project for The Code Project and my Application Automation Layer) because I have yet to come across a photo album organizer that lets me do certain things. I have 3151 digital photos at this point, so let’s see if your software rocks. Marc Every line of code is a liability - Taka Muraoka

                      Marc, I've responded directly to you via e-mail. The beta@brilliantlabs.com address, linked to from the web site, has been converted to a mailing list for current beta testers. I've updated the link to mailto: info@brilliantlabs.com. I've also sent you the download instructions and release notes for the first external test build. Cheers, Jim Lamb Brilliant Labs, Inc. http://brilliantlabs.com/[^]
