benchMark Developments, Inc. Announces TIFFany Professional Image Processing
Software for NEXTSTEP
LEXINGTON, KY - May 3, 1993 - benchMark Developments (bMD) announced today
the availability of TIFFany, an image enhancement application for NEXTSTEP
developed by Caffeine Software of Switzerland. "I am pleased to announce
bMD's agreement with Caffeine Software. It will be our job to treat TIFFany
as if it was our own, providing Caffeine Software with constructive criticism
and the professional management and distribution of TIFFany", said Neil
Greene, president of bMD.
TIFFany offers users of NEXTSTEP a suite of mathematic algorithms for digital
imaging. Images may be enhanced and manipulated using various tools for
color correction, noise reduction, resizing, image composition, morphing, and
filters for: burn in, edge detection, edge enhancement, color separation,
embossing, image noise reduction and correction, relief, shake, smear, smooth,
sobel, and others. Manual image editing functions include: pen drawing,
airbrush, and adjustable transparency capabilities.
"TIFFany is the first application for NEXTSTEP that is optimized for today's
digital images. It is not simply a paint program. TIFFany was undoubtedly
designed with the sure intentions of providing the NeXT environment with a
collection of professional algorithms for the enhancement and manipulation of
digital images", said Kevin Solie, director of software development for bMD
and marketing of TIFFany.
Digital imaging artist and animation creators may use TIFFany's morphing and
warping algorithms to create stunning animations.
TIFFany is currently NEXTSTEP 3.0 compatible and will fully support official
releases of NEXTSTEP and NEXTSTEP for Intel.
bMD is offering TIFFany at a special promotional rate of $295 plus shipping
effective immediately. This special promotional rate will be available
throughout the end of NeXTWORLD Expo (May 27). TIFFany's suggested retail
price is $395, with academic pricing available for $145. Customers,
throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, interested in ordering
TIFFany may contact bMD at 1-800-872-3131. Users with ftp access may find a
demonstration version of TIFFany at cs.orst.edu.
