BACCHUS SHIPS MULTI-ARCHITECTURE VERSIONS OF PIXEL MAGICIAN AND
IMAGE AGENT
Santa Monica, California - August 2, 1993 - Bacchus, Inc. ships
Pixel Magician 1.4 and Image Agent 1.2, Intel/Motorola versions of
their popular image conversion applications for NEXTSTEP.
Pixel Magician and Image Agent allow NEXTSTEP users to share,
access, import and export a wide variety of images from many
different computer platforms. Images from other platforms can be
easily integrated into page layout, drawing and imaging
applications.
With Image Agent users can drag and drop non-native image files
directly into NEXTSTEP applications, such as Diagram! 2,
Concurrence, WetPaint, and Pages, and have the images instantly
appear. Image Agent performs the image conversion as if part of the
actual application in use.
For those requiring more image conversion options, Bacchus offers
Pixel Magician, its advanced image conversion application. Pixel
Magician provides mass image conversion, image viewing, color
quantization and dithering, PostScript to raster, precise scaling
and rotating, variable image resolutions, alpha channel support,
thumbnail views and flexible output options.
Supported image formats include: TIFF, GIF, PICT, PCX, JPEG, TARGA,
FAX, PS, EPS, Windows BMP, Sun Raster, IFF, PNM, XBM, XWD and
others. In addition to many enhancements and optimizations, version
1.4 adds Kodak Photo CD support ( Base resolution only 512 x 768 )
and a complete online manual using the NEXTSTEP 3.x Hypertext style
help system. A detailed revision history file is available on
request.
Bacchus offers network floating node versions of Pixel Magician and
Image Agent. Heterogeneous licensing is supported, e.g., network
licenses can float between NEXTSTEP Intel based machines and
NEXTSTEP Motorola based machines.
Pixel Magician has a suggested retail price of $299. Image Agent is
included free with Pixel Magician or can be purchased separately
for $99. Network and site license pricing is available on request.
Both products are available directly from Bacchus and through
authorized distributors, VAR's and dealers.
Registered users can upgrade for $25.00/user.
Bacchus, Inc., founded in 1985 and based in Santa Monica, CA,
specializes in the development of graphics and communications
software for UNIX Workstations.
