Pinnacle Research, Inc. Announces Availability of WetPaint FilterKit
TUCSON, AZ, July 21, 1993 - Pinnacle Research, Inc., the NEXTSTEP Utility
Lab, announced today availability of the WetPaint FilterKit for developing
custom image processing filters for the WetPaint image editing application.
WetPaint is the first inexpensive image editing application for NEXTSTEP
designed for creating or retouching icons and images. WetPaint version 1.2
began shipping last month and includes improved performance, tools, and
document handling. Paint tools can now selectively apply filters and 14 new
filters have been added.
The WetPaint FilterKit is a set of NEXTSTEP objects that provides developers
with a simplified method for creating custom image processing filters for
WetPaint. In addition to modifying image data, filters can analyze data
without altering it, or create new data without regard for the old. This
allows users to create arbitrary textures, patterns, and colors using the
original image as a starting point. Custom filters enable unique solutions to
mission critical image processing problems for illustrators, scientists and
business users. Users benefit from the transparent integration of the custom
filter with the existing filters shipped with the WetPaint application.
Developers can use the FilterKit to create both data and Postscript filters.
Data filters examine and modify each value of a pixel and Postscript filters
use operations inherent in the PostScript language to modify the image. The
FilterKit has been designed to allow developers to focus on the design of the
desired filter rather than on the mechanics of integrating with the WetPaint
program.
The WetPaint FilterKit (WetPaint_FilterKit.tar.Z) is available free of charge
from the FTP archive sites at Oregon State (cs.orst.edu) and Purdue
(nova.cc.purdue.edu) universities. The FilterKit is also available from
Pinnacle Research for a shipping and handling charge of $10.
