- Award Winning Software Sure To Be Popular With Commercial and News Photographers - West Chester, OH, June 28, 2002 -- Bestcolor USA, the operating subsidiary of Best GmbH with responsibilities for the United States and Canada, has released two new photo products. Best PhotoXposure and Best Photo Edition enable commercial and news photographers to quickly determine how a photograph will appear when printed. Both products support both RGB and CMYK workflows, and permit printing full-size proofs, posters and banners directly from the photo file. The top of the line Best PhotoXposure is Windows based; the less robust Best Photo Edition is a Mac product. At the 2002 Photo Marketing Show, Best PhotoXposure won a Digital Imaging Marketing Association award for image quality and color accuracy.
