"New photo software has just been released that allows homeowners to create wall murals with home computers. Called YottaPrint, this technology enlarges pictures while maintaining previously unavailable levels of high quality images to construct floor-to-ceiling or even larger murals at home."

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (PRWEB) -- Kneson Software has developed an affordable technology that creates home wall murals from personal photographs or any digital image. Limited choices exist for constructing high quality wall murals from photos and most homeowners cannot afford them. Meanwhile, thousands of homeowners are searching for wall mural options. YottaPrint is the first solution to fill this rising demand.

Before YottaPrint there were four basic wall covering options: purchasing prohibitively expensive paintings, having an artist paint an unknown and unfamiliar composition, covering walls with posters that can create a childish or cheap look, or purchasing a pre-printed mural which is very expensive and often impractical. YottaPrint gives homeowners new options for covering large wall spaces with pictures or photos that have deep personal meaning.

Kneson Software has used YottaPrint to construct test wall murals that are giant portraits of employees and of favorite vacation photographs taken in the Caribbean. "One Caribbean wall mural added a thrill and excitement to the room that is truly awe inspiring," said Don Henderson, President of Kneson Software. "Every moment spent in the room with this mural is changed into a richer, more fulfilling experience, and the energy of the living space is dramatically transformed into a feeling of still being on vacation."

The release of YottaPrint represents a significant milestone in photo software development and what can be done with computers and digital images today. "Previous to the invention of Imagener and then YottaPrint, creating a high resolution, high quality wall mural was not possible aside from using costly, large-format photo enlargement hardware and expensive high end plotters to print the result," said Jan Knepper, lead developer of the Imagener and YottaPrint technologies "These high-end options are not realistic for most consumers."
