Photoshop Webpage Creation Plug-in SiteGrinder 2 Updated With New Features
July 15, 2008

Media Lab today announced a bevy of new features and enhancements to its award-winning product, SiteGrinder 2, the powerful and easy-to-use plug-in for Adobe Photoshop that lets designers, artists, or those with no web coding expertise generate superior webpages directly from within Photoshop.

SiteGrinder 2 lets users effortlessly convert their Photoshop designs into CSS-rich, standards-compliant webpages inside Photoshop with just a click of the mouse. New SiteGrinder 2 features include 100% compatibility with Apple's latest operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard; Macintosh Universal compatibility (PowerPC and Intel processors); full Microsoft Vista compatibility; dramatically improved support for JPEG metadata; much more powerful and robust pop-up menus; and enhanced support for non-English language character sets.

SiteGrinder 2 allows users to focus exclusively on their webpage designs without the having to write a single line of Web code. Moreover, SiteGrinder 2 provides all the tools a professional graphics designer, photographer, or web engineer needs to generate superior, compelling interactive web experiences, including the ability to build automated photo galleries, Flash slideshows, CSS-driven menus, and much more. Pages generated by SiteGrinder 2 retain the exact look and layout of the parent Photoshop file from which they were created.

"We're very excited to be bringing these new enhancements and features to SiteGrinder 2 and our customers around the world," said Thomas Summerall, co-founder and President of Media Lab, Inc. "SiteGrinder 2 puts extremely powerful and easy-to-use webpage creation capabilities in the hands of our customers, letting them focus exclusively on their designs rather than on confusing webpage code. SiteGrinder 2 lets customers take ownership of their websites like never before, and at an extremely reasonable price point."

Priced at US$349.00 for SiteGrinder 2 Pro and US$129.00 for SiteGrinder 2 Basic, both are available directly from the Media Lab website. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.

On the PC, SiteGrinder 2 is compatible with Windows 95 and later, including Microsoft Vista, and requires Photoshop 6 or greater, Photoshop CS3, or Photoshop Elements 3, 4, 5, or 6. On the Macintosh, SiteGrinder 2 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.1 or greater, Photoshop 7 or greater, Photoshop CS3 on Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs (Mac OS X 10.5 or greater required for use on Intel-based Macs), or Photoshop Elements 3 or greater.
