Earlier this evening I received an e-mail from a company looking to use this photo in their forthcoming software release.
“[the software is] a tool that allows people to create cinematic slideshows of their personal photos and share them with friends via the web and TV.
“We’ve made a number of templates like a cloud of photos, a photo carousel, a grid, etc. – which users can select as their display format. Also, there are themes like wedding, childhood memories, vacation, etc..
“Many of these templates and themes use Backgrounds.
“That’s where your photo would appear.”
They’re offering some $ and a free copy of the software. I’ve agreed but no details have been worked out yet. (That’s why I’ve left out the name of the product from the above e-mail.)
