Many professionals are familiar with the problem: quality loss caused by digital image magnification. In many cases a great deal of time is being spent on achieving just mediocre enlargement results. Unwanted side-effects such as blurry and serrated edges often set in, that are illustrative of the lack of professional image-magnification software.PhotoZoom Pro 2 is based on S-Spline XL: a renewed and improved version of BenVista's patented, self-adjusting, many-times-awarded S-Spline interpolation technology. Following in S-Spline's tracks, S-Spline XL introduces yet another revolutionary breakthrough in digital-image enlargement. It is able to render sharp, crisp, clear image magnifications, without introducing serrated edges, blurriness, or unnatural looking artifacts.To ensure optimum results with every and each image type, the S-Spline XL technique can be fully finetuned to the user's liking. Even when there is digital noise — such as JPEG artifacts — present in the original image, S-Spline XL is able to render smooth looking enlargements, whereas other techniques only aggravate such roughnesses. This makes PhotoZoom Pro 2 the perfect enlargement solution not only for high-quality photos, but even for those low-quality images often seen on the web.PhotoZoom Pro 2 allows enlargements up to absolutely unrivaled sizes: one million by one million pixels. Furthermore, it offers batch processing, allowing the user to resize huge amounts of images in one pass. The software can be used both as a stand-alone application, and as a Photoshop compatible Plug-in. PhotoZoom Pro 2 processes images up to 40% faster than PhotoZoom Pro 1, is fully compatible with Photoshop CS3, and comes with an improved, completely re-written, user guide.Features:• patented S-Spline and S-Spline XL technology;• built-in presets for different types of images;• finetuning tools;• create custom presets;• large preview window with advanced crop tool;• resizes images up to one million by one million pixels — without restrictions;• batch conversion: resize huge amounts of images in one pass;• preserves EXIF and IPTC info, ICC profiles;• works both as a stand-alone application and as a Plug-in within Photoshop;• supports all common file formats;• intuitive, easy-to-use software interface;• optimized for both printing and on-screen purposes;• universal stand-alone application and Plug-in runs at full speed on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs; and• fully compatible with Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)PhotoZoom Pro 2 is perfectly suited to be used on behalf of prepress, large printing, and industrial image processing (such as space technology, forensic applications, medical purposes, and security), but, of course, also the web and digital photography.Manufacturer: Benvista

The PowerMath stand-alone application runs independently of any Plug-ins or host applications, and can create and edit complex sets of preferences (the PowerMath supersets), as well as create libraries of equation files as prototypes or for particular use within applications (such as InDesign) that support PowerMath Plug-ins. PowerMath ASCII files can also be created by the stand-alone application, with independent equation PICT and MathML files soon to be supported.When the stand-alone application is accessed by a PowerMath Plug-in, fully automated in-document support of the above features becomes available, along with production-oriented features such as global updates reflecting powerful transformation capabilities flowing preferences editing, vertical alignment points, and transformation within the document of equations to the alternative data formats.Legacy PowerMath equations and supersets through Mac OS 9 are fully supported — the equations via PowerMath ASCII import, and the supersets without modification.Custom Pi fonts for oversized glyphs that were used very extensively throughout the very large volume of these legacy books and documents are also currently supported by PowerMathID v5.1 in OS X. This includes drawing and accurate derivation of metrics data for any and all of these oversized glyphs, with no special concerns or workarounds as may still be required for some related applications migrating to Mac OS X.Download the new PowerMath stand-alone application, along with the newly released Plug-ins for Adobe InDesign CS and CS2 to test drive in demo mode.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: PowerHouse Software, Inc.
PrintCapture transparently keeps track of the entire print history of a document. This is especially useful in departments which bill for color prints. PrintCapture indicates how many prints were made to which printer at what time and date. This running log is kept with the document in its folder, and can be viewed as a text document or imported into any database or spreadsheet software. This product makes billing more accurate and easier on both operators and administrative personnel.Features:• client popup menu and data sent to database;• client popup changes job number;• popup shows only this client's job numbers;• auto-archiving of database;• easier to customize;• three different styles of print-tracking modes to choose from (normal enables users to type in any job number or select from a list; job number requires the user to select job numbers from a list; or stealth with no dialog interface);• improved manager application allows multi-criteria filtering so print information can be sorted to only that which is needed;• optionally track only certain printers;• comment field;• optional centrally served popup list of job numbers that sorts itself depending on what has been entered, allowing for hundreds of numbers; and• direct integration with FileMaker ProFree with PrintCapture, the stand-alone print log viewer tracks a file or enables the drag and drop on the print log viewer to automatically compile useful information about the print history of a job. In addition to giving totals it takes the various user-defined billing rates and calculates up-to-date billing totals for the job, and can print the information.print log viewer is a System extension that continually monitors printing from any application. Once in place, any printing which uses background printing, including all desktop printers, will cause a small extra dialog to appear which allows (or requires) the user to enter a job number for the print. This information is then added to a print log which can then be viewed with print track manager. Information tracked includes: number of pages, number of copies, page size, printer name, machine name, job number, creator application, document name, user name, and print area.Manufacturer: GLUON

The 3D Invigorator Plug-in has sprouted new wings as a stand-alone application with new features. The Invigorator ProModeler doesn't work as a Plug-in rather it runs by itself, can render still images, and will export models to the most popular three-dimensional file formats. Now anyone with a three-dimensional program can benefit from the speed and power of the Invigorator's award-winning modeling system.In this day and age speed is everything, and that's what the Invigorator excels at. Think what it would be like if you were able to cut 80% off the time you spend modeling? With new Object Style technology, set up the entire look of a model (all shape, profile, materials, and map settings) and then apply it to 50 other models with a single click.Features: • change any part of the model at any time without redoing any of your work;• dozens of new edge profiles;• create custom edge profiles;• apply different colors to the faces, sides, bevels, and even subparts of the sides and bevels;• profiles can cut into the front face by any amount, positive or negative;• exports models to LightWave, Cinema 4D, ElectricImage, DXF, and OBJ formats;• perform layer cycling, where the model changes shape for every frame, to create animations never before seen;• applies image, decal, bump, transparency, and reflection mapping;• contains a complete library system for creating, saving, and reusing materials;• encapsulate entire modeling and material setups into a single object style icon; and• renders still images for print and web work, and for doing test frames before bringing the models into a 3D animation program.Manufacturer: Zaxwerks
PSAlter is a unique and powerful tool for working with PostScript in Windows. PSAlter can view PostScript files on screen or convert PostScript files to a variety of formats, and is the only serious PostScript-debugging environment available.PSAlter is the only PostScript application to give comprehensive explanations for all PostScript errors as they occur, with the option to ignore or (possibly) fix them and continue. PSAlter 1.5 includes even more tools to help solve PostScript errors — fast — and can produce preflight reports including full, accurate, font information. PSAlter has an easy-to-use view mode to preview PostScript files on screen.PSAlter converts to the popular TIFF and BMP formats, and takes almost any single-page PostScript file and converts to EPS, complete with a preview. For applications that support TWAIN, it may not be necessary to use export. PSAlter acts like a scanner to, in effect, scan PostScript direct into the application. There are other PostScript viewers and converters available, but PSAlter's PostScript workbench is unique — treat PostScript as the programming language it deserves to be.Features:• run PostScript programs flat out, or single step (single stepping is not a line at a time, but right into procedures);• set break points on a variety of conditions;• open viewers for PostScript data including all stacks, graphics state, and any PostScript object;• follow to embedded objects just by double clicking;• view partial pages;• overlay the current path and clipping path to see how the PostScript program builds up images;• browse and edit large programs (up to tens of megabytes) quickly;• set watches to see the current value of any object;• enter executive mode to type PostScript commands at any time, even while another program is running;• supports full PostScript Level 2, or run PSAlter in Level 1-compatibility mode; and• strict mode to check for common PostScript problems that can cause difficulties on some printers.PSAlter does not contain an Adobe PostScript interpreter, and is in no way endorsed by Adobe Systems, Inc. PSAlter is for Microsoft Windows only. PSAlter will inevitably be compared with GhostScript, which is free, but we believe PSAlter offers features which make it worth the difference — mainly ease of installation and use, tools for finding the causes of PostScript errors, and facilities for debugging. PSAlter does not have a print facility to turn a non-PostScript printer into a PostScript printer. PSAlter is not a graphical editor — edit PostScript programs, but not modify the images on screen.Manufacturer: Quite Software Ltd.

Quite Hot Imposing enables OEMs, system integrators, and independent vendors to create customized workflows using either the hot folder or command-line tools within Quite Hot Imposing.Built on the rock-solid foundations of our Quite Imposing Plus Plug-in and the Adobe Acrobat PDF Library, Quite Hot Imposing integrates our easy-to-use imposition functions into heavy-duty, demanding workflows. This incredibly versatile workflow product will not only save all of set ups but it will also repeat all functions when needed (by a method we call Imposition by Example).Quite Hot Imposing was designed to be very intuitive and easy to use. Current users of Quite Imposing Plus will be able to export their current set ups (XML) into this new stand-alone application that is available for both Macintosh and Windows.Acrobat is an ideal environment for imposition, because the results are so instantly available, but Acrobat is not suited to heavy-duty automatic work, hot folders, or use on a server — it may not even be licensed — so we are planning to extend the tool set with self-contained programs for hot-folder processing, command lines, and more.XML is rapidly gaining acceptance as a way of transferring information between programs, so it was a natural choice for use in describing imposition tasks.

This new version of ScanFont acts as a Plug-in for any of FontLab’s font editors: TypeTool, Asiafont Studio, or FontLab Studio (sold separately).ScanFont has long been the best tool for turning scans into fonts. Anything that can fit into a scanner can quickly become a TrueType or Type 1 font. Now with the new version 5, do even more even easier and faster! ScanFont 5 is optimized for scanning glyphs for autotracing into fonts, but it also gives complete control over the scanning and autotrace process. Adjust trace tolerance, curve fit and linearity to suit the subject, thus assuring the cleanest and most accurate scan possible and so that the final font character requires little or no editing. With its new, improved GUI, new filters, and new tools (such as smart background removal), ScanFont is perfect for making handwriting fonts, symbol fonts,ÿ clip art fonts, signature fonts, or any other font from print or bitmap source material. For Windows users, ScanFont is now unbundled from TypeTool, but take advantage of a special TypeTool 3 upgrade bundle to upgrade both TypeTool and ScanFont at one time.Manufacturer: FontLab Ltd.
