- high-end features that have been available only to large studios and
- post-production houses previously. Now these tools are available on the

- "With this latest release of ImageFX, the techniques that were formerly
- the exclusive domain of high end/high dollar post production companies
- are now available for anyone's Amiga," said Kermit Woodall, vice president
- of Research and Design at Nova Design, Inc. "What other packages have
- claimed is impossible to do on the Amiga is now possible."

- ImageFX 2.6 includes a number of technical breakthroughs and enhancements
