PhotoStage beta testing closing soon

The beta testing phase of PhotoStage is closing this weekend. Many thanks to all those who have helped us identify issues and potential improvements. Oh, and check out the photos that Alaska Metropolitan of Metro Models has been taking with PhotoStage.

In total, 32 individual issues where recorded, most of which were usability annoyances, with suggestions for improvement coming second. Of the 32 issues, 22 have been fixed already, and a new version of PhotoStage (1.0.4 beta) containing these fixes has been made available today to beta testers via automatic updates. PhotoStand is also included in this release, and the online user’s manual has also been updated.

We plan to release the final product next week on SLExchange and OnRez initially. We are also considering the possibility of an inworld store.

PhotoStage begins beta testing

Development of PhotoStage has been completed. Today, PhotoStage begins beta testing with a few selected partners, including:

• Alaska Metropolitan, director of Metro Models
• Bella March, photographer
• Chriz Palen, photographer
• Desdemona Enfield, scripter and special effects specialist
• Lillie Yifu from 22nd Century Yedo
• Serenity Mercier, freelance photographer, model and writer

Thank you to all of them! 

Beta testing basically means that different people representing future users test the product in real-life situations and provide feedback for improvements before the product is commercially released.

If you are interested in helping us beta test PhotoStage, please contact us as soon as possible and we will discuss how you can participate.

We expect beta testing to take a couple of weeks. Stay tuned for a final release date.
