Black Belt Systems is contemplating changing the name of our image manipulation software, "Imagemaster". The reason for this is that in the United Kingdom, the name "Image Master" is already in use, and we cannot market our product under the same name in that country. We would be very interested to see any suggestions anyone might have for a new name. We're looking for something catchy, medium to short in length, and easy to remember. Any implication of martial arts is also a plus, but not required. If we choose the name you suggest, we'll provide you with a free copy of the program as thanks. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. –Ben

Sorry my suggestions had no "Martial Arts Flavor" to them. I really think that the only thing you could do is too generic in that area. If you named it something with a "japanese" flair (I'm married to a Japanese woman) the program would suffer from sales because of the "Bashing" going on between U.S. and them. How about "Illu-Sensei"! Rodger – via Whap!

There's "Digital Darkroom", a popular Mac image processing program.

#17047From: Harry CallesisMar 6, 1992 6:22 PM

John – Hmmm. I thought that name was too good for someone to pass up 8^). Maybe he can get away with it by leaving off the "Digital" … Harry
