Joy Aether, the maker of the D33P series of apps (http://d33papp.com) known for being the first 2D-to-3D Facebook photo app, announced “Facebook Timeline Covers by D33P,” an Android app that creates seamless Facebook Timeline cover photos, from the user’s own Facebook photos and D33P-produced cover arts.

Media outlet USA Today comments about Facebook Timeline: “Your [Facebook Timeline] cover photo is your chance to make a splash.” “Facebook Timeline Covers by D33P” is an app that helps Facebook users to do just that.

“The Facebook Timeline design has already been adopted by users around the world, and the design has the cover photo and the profile picture placed tightly together. This layout has resulted some designers creating playful designs that allows interaction between the cover photo and the profile picture,” says Ricky Lui, COO & Co-founder of Joy Aether.

“Our new app brings the creation of a ‘Facebook Timeline Seamless Combo’ to the hands of us non-designers, who don’t necessarily have the Photoshop skills. The app makes it very easy to create both the cover photo and the profile picture at the same time. The D33P series of apps have a single mission in mind: Have Fun With Photos. Facebook is the largest photo repository on the planet, and our Facebook Timeline Covers app enables user to play with their photos, unleash their creativity, and showcase their creation as their Facebook Timeline cover.”

With the latest release 1.2 of this app, a Facebook user can choose a photo from his/her own Facebook albums, Friends’ Albums, News Feeds, to be the cover photo. After chosen a cover photo, the user can choose to take a photo for his/her profile picture. While taking the picture, the chosen cover photo will also be shown on the screen, like a multi-exposure shot, allowing the user to see how the profile picture would look like alongside the cover photo.

E.g. If the user has chosen a sunrise photo as the cover photo, when she takes the profile picture, she can act out squinting or hand covering her face. Then when both the cover photo and the profile pic is uploaded, the two pictures work well together in the Facebook Timeline layout. This previewing of the photos would be important to many users who likes to visualize the end result before posting.

A second way of creating the seamless combo would be to start with one of the Cover Arts that is pre-installed into the app. Some of these Cover Arts will allow the user to interact the profile picture with the cover photo, e.g. a bunch of zombies in the Cover Art and the user can pose as being scared, in the profile picture. A preview is also available to see how the cover photo will go with the current profile picture. In release 1.2 of the app, more Cover Arts for various festivities and special days are included, such as MLK (Martin Luther King) Day, Australia Day, Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Chinese New Year, etc.

With the release of Facebook’s new Timeline profile layout only days away, FreeTimelineCovers.net launches to provide a range of quality Facebook Covers free of charge.

Free Timeline Covers is an application that allows users to search through a database of Facebook Covers that are organized by tags, decide which cover to use, and finally install the Facebook cover. The site launches with the ability to not only install a cover manually by following a few easy steps but has also created an auto-uploader that interfaces with Facebook’s new Open Graph API, making installing a Facebook cover very easy.

The creators of Free Timeline Covers enter the scene with an impressive history since the Myspace days by offering Myspace Layouts and to most recently offering Twitter Backgrounds for Twitter users. “We know what users want, they want access to a large amount of free covers and most importantly they want to be able to express themselves through the cover that they have so carefully selected. On top of all that, this process must be easy and fast,” say the owners.

While Free Timeline Covers has just launched, the site already has a range of categorized Facebook Covers including artistic, celebrity, colorful, holiday, nature, pattern, simple and more. They are also proud to announce that in just a short 24-hour period, they have already served over 500 users by allowing them to express themselves through timeline covers. The creators are excited with the new Facebook Timeline profile as it allows users to express themselves through a single image and are proud to be serving the Facebook Community

GoPhoto’s business is to help people preserve and share their memories by scanning photos, slides and negatives. Today’s announcement of Facebook Timeline highlighted the fast-growing conundrum that spurred GoPhoto founders to start the company in the first place: while millions of people enjoy sharing their photos online, the vast majority of their photographic histories are sitting in a box somewhere collecting dust.

Let’s face it: photo scanning is time consuming, and sorting through long-neglected albums of old photos, discarded slide carousels and envelopes full of mysterious negatives isn’t the way most people want to spend a weekend. GoPhoto offers a quick, easy solution to the often overwhelming burden of image scanning: just print a shipping label at GoPhoto.com, toss everything in a box (or slap a label on the box they’re already in), and ship them. There is no need to sort beforehand; white glove service means that GoPhoto expert technicians will carefully remove assets from their containers – albums, slide carousels, envelopes – and will put them back as they were.

Once images are scanned, GoPhoto sets them up in free online albums with 1-click Facebook and social network share. And, because GoPhoto allows customers to delete as many scans as they want and only pay for the scans they keep, converting slides, negatives and photos to digital is a no-risk proposition.

Said CEO Sean Ryan, “We have known for a long time that people want to share their memories with each other online, and we’ve made it our business to remove the barriers to doing so. Today, we’re excited that Facebook Timeline gives us the opportunity to help America recapture and share its history at a very personal level.”

Which is to say that filling out that Facebook Timeline is as easy as slapping a mailing label on that box of slides sitting in the closet.

Based in San Francisco, CA, GoPhoto is the leader in image scanning services offering the highest quality photo, negative and slide scanning to consumers, professional photographers and businesses looking to archive and preserve their images to online albums and DVD.
