(PRWEB) November 15, 2011

CanvasPop, the webs most innovative provider of custom, high-quality canvas printing and design services, is leading the charge against photo imperfections by introducing a number of enhanced design services for its customers -- including digital plastic surgery at a fraction of the cost.

Among CanvasPops new three-tier photo enhancement services is Digital Facelift, a technique that provides all the benefits of a little nip and tuck without the pain of going under the knife.

Using a combination of software, proprietary techniques and human craftsmanship, our designers can finesse your image to make a dramatic difference, but not so much that it doesnt look like you, said Adrian Salamunovic, CanvasPop co-founder.

In addition to CanvasPops free Picture Perfect service that provides complimentary color correction, red-eye reduction and other minor image adjustments, customers can now order a number of photo enhancement services that range from minor alterations to complete photo reconstruction, starting at $ 9.95.

With requests as simple as removing minor objects to complete photo restoration, we have designed the three new design tiers based off of what is already being asked of us, said Melissa Edwards, lead CanvasPop designer.

Want to remove that massive zit that popped up on your sisters wedding day? Just a Touch removes facial blemishes, minor objects and can be used to add text to a photo.

Was your memorable moment ruined by an duck-faced photobomber? Have that clown removed from your photo with our Make it Pop service which allows you to delete people (ahem, your ex) or take advantage of our Digital Facelift service to take off a few years.

What about those family heirloom photos that are torn and faded? Extreme Enhancement can take any vintage but well-worn photo and make it almost like new.

Go Green and Save Green with thredUP for Back to School

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 16, 2011

While economic woes continue, threats of recession rumble and retail prices rise, the Back to School season is in full swing and thrifty moms are looking for ways to stretch their budgets. Collaborative consumption sites such as thredUP, where moms swap kids clothes, toys and books online, are one such alternative as seen in results from a recent survey.

As the Associated Press reported on August 4, Surveys from the National Retail Federation, Deloitte and other groups show that customers plan to buy only what the family needs, focus on fat discounts and reuse last year's items. Frugal, web-savvy moms are heading to swapping sites such as thredUP, which offer values of over $ 60 per box of clothes. Members can send boxes of used childrens items to other families for free, and choose boxes full of pre-loved clothes, toys or books for $ 5 plus flat rate shipping, currently $ 10.95. The average box holds between 15 and 20 items.

In a survey of 362 thredUP users in early August, close to 50% valued their thredUP swaps at over $ 50 per box retail, with 35% saying the items would cost $ 60 or more at a typical store. While 57% said they would continue to also shop retail, 42% said they will do the majority of their Back to School shopping on thredUP. Proving that the stigma against buying used clothing is quickly fading, a full 70% said they do not believe there is a negative stereotype to buying used clothing.

These numbers show that the sharing economy has taken hold, said James Reinhart, CEO, thredUP. We as a society simply cant afford to consume and discard at such a rapid pace. Families are banding together to save money and to do the right thing by upcycling perfectly good clothing with others.

According to the National Retail Federation, the average family will spend $ 220 on back to school clothes, but that number is out of reach for many American families. Forty-seven percent of thredUP users polled said they would spend less than $ 100 this year.

thredUP member April Becerra, from Exeter, California, said, I recently became unemployed, which has made it hard for me to purchase clothes for school this year. [thredUP] has made things a lot easier for me. It beats having a yard sale!
