DAYTON, Ohio - Scrapbookers now have a new way to organize and locate digital photos, using facial recognition software called PicsMatch. PicsMatch identifies and quickly sorts photos based on people, groups, key dates and holidays.

PicsMatch is the first desktop photo organizer that uses facial recognition to automatically find particular photos. Its premium features include:

• Software that automatically sorts your images by holidays, custom events, and the people in the photos.
• Using the same faceprint technology, the consumer can identify an individual within the digital photograph as an “enrollment photo” and the software will automatically locate this person in any other uploaded photos on their computer. e sorting of photos will allow for easy use in scrapbooks and other projects.
• The only desktop photo organizer that allows you to perform complex searches for individuals, groups of people, or even groups of people during specific times.
• Share your photos with the world when you’re ready to. You can create albums, edit, print, email and even upload to the web with the click of a button!

Users start with one photo of their friend or family member as an “enrollment photo” and then the software automatically searches all the photos on their computer for that person, including photos with multiple people. PicsMatch helps users quickly sort their photos for easy use in scrapbooking and others projects, and even allows searching for two or more people at once.

“Sorting through multiple folders of digital images can be a time-consuming and frustrating experience. We developed PicsMatch to give scrapbookers an automated way to locate specific photos,” said Dave Gasper, President of Initial Point. “Th e ability to do searches for photos of Mom, Dad or Mom and Dad together, for example, will dramatically change the way consumers organize, sort and locate photos on their computers.”

PicsMatch not only identifies photos by facial recognition, it also sorts photos by their date/time stamp, allowing users to quickly compile photos from key dates and holidays. Within seconds, PicsMatch can locate specific photo combinations, such as Grandma and Grandpa at New Year’s. After locating the right photos, PicsMatch allows users to print, email or export photos to editing or scrapbooking software.
