Imagemaster is a powerful 24-bit image manipulation program for the Amiga. It provides extensive tools in the following areas: image processing, special effects, image composition, painting, image analysis, rendering to Amiga modes, file format translation and other services. It can manage any number of images loaded at once, handles image sizes up to 32767 pixels along an edge and has extensive facilities to rename, delete and etc those images that are loaded. All the tools, from compositing to processing to paint, can be applied using familiar tools; rectangle, freehand, ellipse, polygon and more. You can also have Undo and Redo available – or turn them off to save memory. It also has a nice script and macro capability, implemented via ARexx. It provides many unusual (but useful) techniques which can be taken advantage of by animators and artists. These range from unusual fill modes in the paint system to image distortion tools like motion blur, morphing, lens simulation and a good deal more. In the "service" area, we provide what are likely to be the highest quality rending capabilities for converting 24-bit images into Amiga mode pictures (2-32 colors, halfbright, ham). We also provide high quality color separation and recombination tools. We can render to many unusual Amiga modes, such as DCTV and HAM-E. We can also load both of these image formats as 24 bit files (no other product on the market can load DCTV images, btw). Imagemaster is intended to be a complete toolkit for the manipulation of high color images. The only areas we have not yet extended to are extenral scanner device support and photo output device driving. For these capabilities, we currently suggest AdPro 2.x, from ASDG. System requirements are any Amiga, 3 megs of fast ram, 512k of chip ram. We suggest more of both, especially chip ram. An accellerator is always a good idea for software like this… our software emphasizes quality of results over speed. Imagemaster retails for $199.95 Hope this helps you. If you have further questions, I'll answer them as well.
