Hey everyone!
While you guys were busy celebrating Diwali, winters and the festive season in general, we decided to give our dear Doodlepad a mini-facelift, by making the drawing area much bigger.
Now the Doodlepad resizes based on your computer’s resolution. You might not notice the change on low resolutions, but if you are using a higher resolution you will have much larger canvas.
Here’s a two screenshots, on a resolution of 1280 x 1024 (Click on the images to enlarge).
Older version
New version
This works especially well for designing collages where we earlier had a rather tiny design area.
In case you resize your browser window, remember to refresh it, so the the Doodlepad loads in the correct size.
So, design away, and keep the feedback coming.

This was long due! Sorry to all of you who were not able to shop at itasveer because of this. We tried our best to get this up fast, but the paperwork took its own sweet time. So after almost 7-8 months of unavailability we just got the good news. Better late than never!
Happy printing once again to our long lost users :)

Here’s unveiling a new feature on itasveer - Upload by Email. This one has been raring to see the light of the day. It has been available on itasveer for some time now, unannounced though.
Got that friend’s photo on email you wanna make him a b’day mug with? Need to upload those dozens of forwarded party photographs to your itasveer account?? No need uploading-downloading, Upload by Email has come to your rescue.
To use this feature: -
You can even use your desktop email client (like Outlook) as a silent upload client. Just compose an email in the same manner and send it to your itasveer Upload by Email address. Outlook will keep the mail in your Outbox and send it silently in the background.
itasveer is a better home for your photographs than email accounts, don’t you think? If you have suggestions to make this feature better, please write to us.

There are new Doodlepad features in town. Here’s a rundown of the features and how to use them.
Copy/Paste:
You can now and copy and paste items in the Doodlepad with ease. Any colors, effects, fonts etc. are preserved. Use the Copy Paste buttons, or choose from the right click menu.
Crop:
Put your images into interesting shapes! Select an image and click on ‘Crop Photo’. Pick from a square, circle, star or splash shape to crop your image. In this example we picked the star shape!
Shadows and Borders:
You can add borders and shadows to your photos now. See what the above photo looks like with a shadow and a border added!
We added a shadow first.
Then we added a 5 width white border (also changed the background color to make it more visible).
Cool eh?
Tint and B&W Effects:
Last, but definitely not the least you can also add B&W and tint effects to your image!
So, that’s all for now, stay tuned for more!
Meanwhile, gO DoOdLE! :D
(By the way, there are even more reasons to Doodle - we have launched four new products: Large Mugs, Stainless Steel Travel Mugs, Mousepads and Collages (Posters) and there is a 20% introductory discount on all these. Use the coupon code NEWPRODS to avail)

Do you know what these are?
These are Themes! Yes, we gave a facelift to your shared photo pages on itasveer.com - and they now come in four cool flavors. 
You can see a couple of sample shared pages here and here.
To set a theme for your page, go to your Shared Settings page.
Your shared photos will henceforth be living in much sexier locales.
Besides, we have also introduced better comment management - You can now view all your recent comments in one place when you log in.
Plus, there are bunch of other tiny, but useful improvements such as titles for your Shared Pages, Album Descriptions, A list view for your albums, and the facility to email your shared page link straight from your shared settings page.
So, we think the photo sharing experience on itasveer.com is now significantly better - what do you think? And what else do you guys want? Let us know.
PS: The Facebook Blues theme is a tribute to Facebook - arguably one of the best web products ever!

Do you guys use Flickr?
Well, If you do, we have some awesome news for you.
We recently introduced a feature using which you can import your Flickr photos into itasveer - no need to upload them again!
So now you can do a lot more with your Flickr photos. Get photo prints from them or use them in the itasveer Doodlepad to create some kickass designs and put them on T-Shirts and Mugs!
Also you don’t need a Flickr Pro account to use this feature. Every Flickr user can! The only limitation is that for free Flickr accounts good quality photo prints would be available in sizes 5″x7″ or less. But there is no limitation on Tees and Mugs - so go ahead and doodle up some great designs.
Just look for the Flickr tab on your photos page to get started.
Here’s a 5 minute video on how it works. Or you can read the FAQs here.

When we put DoodlePad together, Ashish used to call our mug preview ‘chaude kaan waala aadmi‘ (a guy with broad ears). And yes, that’s precisely how it looked. So the challenge was, make Mugs in DoodlePad look like mugs.
So, with the latest release, DoodlePad now features a three-side view of your design put on mugs. Here’s what we’re talking about,
A brief about how it’s done. The problem at hand here is, cylindrical transform for a flat image or wrapping an image around a cylinder shape (the mug in our case). Going through a lot of existing 3D texturing libraries for Flash, we found they were a little too heavy for what we needed. So we decided to do it on our own. This was accomplished by splitting the image into a large number of vertical strips and placing them at coordinates calculated using simple coordinate geometry. The larger the number of strips, the better is the preview but slower is the performance. Larger number of strips also makes the job simpler as we don’t have to worry about skewing the strips, since the width and hence the skew gets negligible.
That’s it for the jargon. Hope it helps somebody.
For all our dear users and users-to-be, Happy Designing :)

While we have been waxing eloquent about the Doodlepad - we missed telling you something else - Microsoft recently released it’s brand-new and all so jazzy Windows Vista.
Why are we telling you a piece of news which you have probably heards a thousand times by now :D? Because itasveer.com has partnered with Microsoft for the online photo printing module built right into Windows Vista.
That’s the headline, here’s the news.
itasveer.com is the only Indian photo printing service which has partnered with Microsoft for the ‘Online Print Wizard’ module in Windows Vista. So, if you’re running Windows Vista on your PC, you are a step closer to itasveer. You can now choose the photographs you want to print from your ‘Photo Gallery’ and just press the ‘Order Prints’ button, we’ll take you through rest of the process. And all this without having to open a browser window. To satisfy our vanity, we are posting a screenshot here.
Remember to set your Location as India from the Control Panel to see itasveer in the list of providers.
Oh, and yes, before I forget - you can also get yourself 10 free prints if you register for an itasveer account through Windows Vista.
Please checkout this link for details of the process of ordering prints through Windows Vista.
