| | Graphistudio
Graphistudio was founded in 1981 as a small graphic and photographic advertising studio. In 1987, as a result of the enlargement and diversification of the company, it expanded into the wedding photography market. The idea was to offer newly weds a photographic album using the latest creative graphic techniques. The concept was an immediate success as it was to the traditional wedding photography environment. Soon the Adamo Creazioni brand service became known throughout the Venetian region and became the preferred choice of thousands of newly weds. To cope with this demand and to achieve more ambitious growth targets for larger markets, a new digital production solution called informatics was used.

Dust is the bane of every photographers life. Whether it is dust on the lens, dust on the sensor, the scanner or on transparencies and negatives. Dust can degrade optical equipment, ruin an image, add to retouching costs and damage valuable equipment. Whichever way you look at it, dust costs – period.
So if you need to clean the sensor on your Digital SLR, remove a fingerprint from a favourite lens, or have discovered that your films scans are not as clean as they used to be and you’re fed up retouching scanned images from dusty negatives, then we probably have a product to help.

| | LightScribe
WHAT LIGHTSCRIBE IS:
A WHOLE NEW WAY TO LABEL YOUR DISCS
LightScribe is an innovative technology that uses a special disc drive, special media, and label-making software to burn labels directly onto CDs and DVDs.
Because the labels are laser-etched—not printed—there's no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.
Your labels can be whatever you want them to be. Create one-of-a-kind designs with your own photos, text, and artwork using your label-making software. Or choose from the many free backgrounds the software provides. You may also visit LightScribe's Template Label Gallery, or the Label Gallery for free downloadable designs.
Once you create your design, be sure to follow these three steps:
- Burn your data (music, photos, video, etc.) in the LightScribe drive.
- When your data burning is complete, open the drive and flip the disc over.
- Burn your LightScribe label. Remember, the same drive that burns your data burns your label, too.
