| IMAGE Assist Software Driver
IMAGE Assist is a complete solution for outputting Macintosh images to Agfa film recorders with speed, reliability, and ease-of-use. Designed for imaging efficiency, IMAGE Assist provides two imaging programs to address the unique requirements of both presentation graphics and digital photography.
Presentation Graphics: Chooser-Level Driver
Outputting presentation graphics to 35mm or larger format film is as simple as "printing" from your Macintosh application. IMAGE Assist's Chooser-Level Driver (CLD) uses the familiar "Page Setup" and "Print" dialogs for selecting output resolution (up to 8K), page orientation, and number of copies; it also allows users to queue files for time-delayed imaging. Utilizing the power of QuickDraw GX to rasterize images, IMAGE Assist transfers the images to film to produce high-quality slides, negatives, and sheet film.
Digital Photography: Raster Imaging Software
IMAGE Assist's Raster Imaging Software (RIS) is a stand-alone program specifically designed for the large raster-based files (TIFF and TGA) used in digital photography. Efficient at outputting both large and small raster files to slide or sheet film, the RIS will scale and format files up to the maximum resolution of your film recorder.
It's advanced queuing feature makes IMAGE Assist ideal for any imaging center handling a high volume of raster-based files.
IMAGE Assist supports the following Agfa film recorders:
- FotoColor
- ProColor Premier
- ProSlide 35
- PCR II
- PCR II Plus
- Forte
- Alto LS
- Alto
IMAGE Assist is available in three different versions, each supporting a different level of performance:
- CLD: supports FotoColor, ProSlide 35, and Procolor Premier, CLD (2K & 4K)
- 4K: supports all models listed above, RIS (2K & 4K) and CLD (2K & 4K)
- 16K: supports all models listed above, RIS (2K-16K) and CLD (2K-8K)
Features:
- Print files and presentations to a film recorder directly from your Macintosh application.
- Print multiple-page presentations as easily as single pages.
- Use the advanced capabilities of the Chooser Level Driver to rasterize images up toh@ Àla“— ðñ¢ ñÁ¥Ro 16K output resolution.
- Queue jobs for unattended processing.
- Image raster (bitmap files) supports TIFF 5.0 and TARGA file formats.
- Multiple scaling and formatting options.
- Image representation is displayed as the data is sent to the film recorder.
Required configuration:
- Power Macintosh or Macintosh 6800 (68020 or higher)
- Apple System software 7.5.1
- 256 Color (or greater) Display
- 16 MB of RAM
- 2 MB hard disk space for installation
- QuickDraw GX 1.1.2 or higher (for CLD driver)
- Agfa Color film recorder and SCSI cabling
Sample RIS Imaging Times
- 2K (08 MB) to 4K -- 0:47
- 4K (32 MB) to 4K -- 3:12
- 4K (32 MB) to 8K -- 5:35
