PhotoPlus X5 Now Available for Arabic-Speaking Users

GRENOBLE, France, April 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    WinSoft International is proud to announce the availability of PhotoPlus X5, the
cost-effective and intuitive photo-editing software by Serif, for use in Arabic.

    Middle Eastern and North African businesses will be glad to find that Arabic writing
is now supported in WinSoft International's Middle Eastern release of Serif's PhotoPlus X5
software.

    "At WinSoft International, we take pride in offering users worldwide the comfort of
accessing quality software in their own language," says Kamel Gaddas, WinSoft
International's CEO. "If you need some serious photo-editing capability but don't want to
pay the shirt off your back for it, then you'll be delighted with PhotoPlus."

    PhotoPlus X5 is a fast, powerful and intuitive photo-editing software that contains
all the tools needed to give a professional finish to one's photos (apply non-destructive
adjustments and filters, add amazing effects, remove people and objects from photographs,
restore old and damaged photos, organize and share image collections, etc.) WinSoft
International's Middle Eastern version of PhotoPlus X5 supports Arabic and Farsi and
features localized documentation.

    In this new Arabic version, the interface is in English or French with Arabic features
including OpenType font support for professional typography, support of bi-directional
text (right-to-left or left-to-right direction), contextual shaping (when a character
changes its shape according to the surrounding characters, such as for Arabic glyphs),
combined glyphs (specific sequences of glyphs that can be combined into a single glyph)
and much more.

    WinSoft International signed a partnership with UK-based software company Serif,
creators of the award-winning PagePlus, PhotoPlus, WebPlus, DrawPlus and MoviePlus product
range, in July 2010 to adapt Serif products for markets worldwide.

    PhotoPlus X5 is the third Serif product that WinSoft International localizes for use
in Arabic. The company released other international versions of PhotoPlus X5, including
Czech, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish versions. All international
versions of PagePlus X5, WebPlus X5 and PhotoPlus X5 are now available for users
worldwide.
