- Short: PostScript-Print, PlugIn for ArtEffect2+
- Author: remuss@cs.tu-berlin.de (Volker Remuß)
- Uploader: remuss@cs.tu-berlin.de (Volker Remuß)
- Version: 1.0
- Type: gfx/misc
-
- This is the biggest of my plugins for ArtEffect2/3+.
-
- PostScript-Print is a Printer-PlugIn for the famous Image-Manipulation-Program
- ArtEffect2+. As a normal PlugIn it integrates seamlessly in ArtEffect's menu
- and waits happily for your attention.
-
- It is able to produces PostScript files which are suitable for printing
- directly or placing (with EPS on) in a program such as PageStream3.
-
- It is mainly written to print pictures directly out of ArtEffect to a PostScript
- printer or to save on disk for later printing or placing.
-
- Since no other Amiga program (except my dt2ps (AFAIK)) produces
- such small output files, printing is normally faster than with any other
- program. Because the parallel port of Amiga (and even most I/O-Cards) is slow
- and the main bottleneck for any recent printer.
-
-
- Features
- ----------
-
- - AFAIK the second program (first was my dt2ps) for Amiga that uses RunLength-
- and the efficient ASCII85Encoding to reduce the size of the PostScript file
-
- - Output can be made for printing directly or placing in e.g. PageStream3
-
- - Gammacorrection for pictures
-
- - Interpolation to smooth pictures can be switched on
-
- - Takes advantage of picture's alphachannel
-
- - Output can be color or gray (with two different color-to-gray conversions)
-
- - Setting frequency and angle and spotfunction for output raster by user or
-
- - Automatic calculation of optimal rasterfrequency
-
