Microsoft Corp. today launched Microsoft® Digital Image Suite 9, the first digital imaging software package on the market to combine all the tools consumers want and need to organize, archive, edit and share the soaring number of digital photos accumulating on their PCs. Digital cameras captured roughly 25 billion photos worldwide in 2002. That number is expected to jump to 56 billion in 2005.1 A projected 28.1 million digital cameras will be sold worldwide in 2003, 2 and many consumers will find themselves juggling thousands of images without an easy way to manage them. In response, Microsoft combined the power of two digital imaging software titles, Microsoft Digital Image Library 9 and Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9, into one comprehensive and flexible photo solution. The result is the new Microsoft Digital Image Suite 9, the only product available today that gives consumers everything they need in digital imaging software, including advanced organizational and photo-editing tools, new levels of creativity with professional-quality photo projects, and unparalleled ease of use.
