Press Release Summary: This news release details the launch of imagingcanvas.com, a
new interactive website which offers visitors the tools to custom design canvas wall
coverings from their own digital photos.

Press Release Body: For immediate release
July 17, 2008

imagingoncanvas.com launches today, giving do-it-yourself consumers the online tools
to quickly
and easily design canvas prints showcasing their favourite digital photos. Creative
control is in the hands of the user who can add as many of the featured special
effects as desired to enhance the
image. The resulting print, which can be ordered as large as 40\" by 60\", offers a
dramatic way to
enjoy treasured photos or artwork and add personalized punch to home décor.

The first step: an image is uploaded. Then, the user is free to colour, sharpen,
blur, invert or apply any of nine additional special effects to the file, viewing
their changes in real time. For a modern style the photo can be transformed to
black-and-white with a spot colour, or printed in a three or four panel group.

A variety of creative backgrounds are available online to superimpose behind the
image if desired, or a personal file can be used. For those who like a colourful,
contemporary look, the "Andy Warhol" style is available as well as other designs.

John Spear, owner of Rainbow Digital Imaging who is behind the site and the service,
plans to
expand the range of options as the website matures. "We will continue to replenish
our gallery of images," says Spear, "and will provide special feature images and
update new special effects to enrich the experience for our customers."

Each canvas wall covering is stretched by hand onto a 3/4\" or 1 1/2\" kiln-dried
wooden stretcher
frame and printed with eco-solvent inks that will last a minimum of 50 years. The
company uses the
latest in ink-jet technology to print the images, ensuring the highest resolution
possible.
Spear was inspired to launch the service as a result of his personal photos. "I like
to take pictures" says Spear. "Of course not all are 'wall worthy' but some have
special meaning to me. Putting them in a frame on a desk didn't seem to do them
justice. Our vision is to provide canvas masterpieces that will offer a lifetime of
enjoyment."

Prints can be ordered in sizes ranging from 12 square up to 40\" by 60\". Prices range
from $65 and
up depending on print size, options chosen, plus tax and delivery. They can be
delivered anywhere
in Canada and the United States. Orders arrive an average of seven to 10 business
days after full
payment is made.
