Black Belt Systems is pleased to announce Imagemaster R/t 1.60 for the Amiga computer. IM R/t 1.60 expands the software's already impressive array of special effects to include enormously powerful powerful plasma tools, other operational enhancements, expanded interface controls and additional documentation. Black Belt Systems continues to enhance our Imagemaster R/t product, still the most powerful image manipulation system available for the Amiga, as well as offer full time technical support to our customers. More important reasons why Imagemaster R/t is the right choice for your Amiga image manipulation software! We also want you to know that should you be considering adding Windows- or Windows NT-based computers to your working environment, you should also be aware that we offer very powerful special effect, image manipulation, morphing and warping software at incredibly low prices for these platforms as well as for the Amiga. We even have versions for RISC machines such as the Alpha, MIPs and even the PowerPC, all of which are shipping right now! Currently, the big news is in the Amiga arena – here are some specifics sure to grab your interest… The plasma suite can generate flame events in still frames or over time. A number of useful types of flames are available, including gas flames, candles, log and forest fires, and even the oil wick of a hurricane lamp. This is only the tip of the iceberg, however, as all flame parameters are settable by the user. For instance, independent control over the flame's base, middle, end and tip colors allow you to tailor the burn even to rare metals such as sodium or magnesium with no trouble. You have control over how much the flame distorts the background behind it, turbulence within the flame and much, much more. Also in the plasma suite is an extensive electrical generator which excels at lightning and other electrical effects. Preset or "canned" effects include Summer Storm, Windstorm, Fibrous and Gamma Bursts. As with the flame capability, these are only a hint of the range of effects available. You have direct control over color, glow, zagging, saturation, taper, width and more. As with the flame tools all controls may be animated over time using ARexx, resulting in travelling bolts and strikes with an astounding level of realism. IM R/t 1.60 contains many other changes and improvements, including the ability to force all screens to 4-bit, 8-bit, or AGA, something that should help the performance of many of the weaker AGA emulations for the various graphics boards available for the Amiga.
