Version 9.12 Out!
12 messages in this thread
I'm pleased to be able to tell you that we've completed version 9.12 of
Imagemaster, Imagemaster F/c and Image Professional. Those of you on the
autoupgrade program will be recieving your copies during the next two
weeks, as fast as we can ship them. Individual upgrades orders are also
being taken. IP is available online in the usual places.
This upgrade of the image manipulation software provides a WONDERFUL new
class of capabilities; that of being able to use any custom shape for
generating an area selection, outline, brush cut and so on. We're not
talking about replicative polygons here; you can use preset shapes such as
city skylines, top hats, stars and so on as masks. These masks flip
horizontally and vertically depending on how you drag them out, *and* they
"live reposition" using the right mouse button while being dragged out.
More? Sure! You can define your _own_ new shapes – virtually anything you
like.
We've provided a number for you to try as ish.lzh in DL6 of vendor, and on
the release disks. We'll update this archive as well, as we go along.
Version 1.06 of the PIE.lzh archive has been posted (and is included in the
new upgrades). This upgrade addresses some problems relating to the
creation and reading of ANIM files over 1.05; if you have an earlier
version than 1.05, it's definitely time to upgrade, as many new features
were added then.
Keep those ideas coming!

Are these polygonal regions described as bitmaps, or as structured
information? I'll go look at the file… maybe you'll need some translators
that go from Pro Draw, etc. to your format.
I answered the question by downloading the ISH.LZH file… looks like
there's some potential here!
Yep – easy as can be.
–Ben
They are polygonal structured information. THe format is trivial, easily
implemented.

Do you have a new manual for IP/IM in the works? Whens it due?
Nick
Yes, we do. We're trying for the end of this summer; Imagemaster is in the
process of undergoing big, big changes, and we want all of those in that
manual – so I'm going to emphasize the tentative nature of "end of summer".
We might be early (I doubt it) and we might be late (probably :^)
Lots of tutorial info, more general grouping of similar ops, etc. More
pages, for sure.

I'm sure I know the answer to this but I have to ask anyway. Are the big,
big changes slated for Imagemaster going to appear in IP as well?
Some are – some are not. Some changes (related to display modes) are not
relevant to the HAM-E display modes (nor would they be needed, really).
–Ben
Yes, we do – I've been out of town for a couple of weeks, so I just
answered that here today – see my other post.

Ben,
I ordered the upgrade to imagemaster, and once again I was overwhelmed by
the friendly salseperson, and prompt delivery. I was even more overwhelmed
by all the features you folks had crammed into the thing since my last
update. Thanks for the wonderful product!
Ken
You're quite welcome; good to hear. :^)
