MANAGER SUITE WITH LEGACY FAMILY TREE
LifeStory Productions, Inc., maker of ProMedia Manager Suite, and Millennia
Corporation, maker of Legacy Family Tree, are pleased to announce the

to manage and do more with your photos and multimedia files. LifeStory
software brings it all together by combining an extensive list of unique
features, functions and automated processes not found in other software
programs.
Legacy Family Tree is the widely acclaimed and comprehensive genealogy program
for the Windows operating system. From world-class merging, search and
replace, and spell checking, to powerful research logs, reports and sources,
Legacy overpowers the competition with an unbeatable feature list and powerful
add-on products such as Heritage Collector Basic and ProMedia Manager Suite companions.
Legacy users can now:
" Find the right photo and multimedia files from 1,000's of files that can be
stored in the patented LifeStory multimedia database
" Create and share entertaining slide shows containing photos, video clips and
sound that can be automatically burned onto a self-running CD or DVD

and reference photos and media
" Save time by working directly with your scanner and digital camera
" Organize, find, view and use video clips in slide shows

LifeStory has succeeded in creating a comprehensive software system that meets
the needs of the beginner and advanced user that is both powerful and "Easy to
Use" by offering two programs that work together.
Heritage Collector Basic is a perfect starting place for beginner and intermediate
users. Tutorials, instant help, and printed "recipe" oriented documentation
are provided. Beginning users may start with Heritage Collector Basic and then upgrade
to ProMedia Manager to use the added features and functions with their
existing collections.
ProMedia Manager Suite is designed for the advanced user. It contains an
archive system, backup, unique GPS database ---- However, it also contains
Heritage Collector Basic.
The unique nature and usability of LifeStory software is probably best
summarized by a user, Ronald Olsen, an 81 year old grandpa who had this to say
about LifeStory software: "I have had so much fun using this program. I made
and sent photo archives and CD slide shows to all of my kids and grandkids for
Christmas. I love this program."
