The Agfa Guide to
Digital Color Prepress

Interactive Edition

This Macintosh CD-ROM is the ultimate companion to the Agfa Digital Color Prepress guides. Over 350 screens--many of which are available for previewing--provide detailed information, techniques, and tips pertaining to the ever-evolving world of digital prepress are featured. It includes a glossary, timeline, videos and more. The CD-ROM is also available in a specially priced deluxe box set, containing the CD-ROM and five Digital Color Prepress volumes.

All chapters from the printed volumes -- plus much more -- have been fully integrated and adapted for multimedia. Following a workflow-based metaphor, the CD takes you through Design and Creation, Layout and Preparation, Image Capture, Manipulation and Correction, Proofing, and Printing. The many screens filled with detailed information are enhanced by voiceovers, animations, interactive explanations and movies. Versatile search and navigation functions enable you to easily find and access any topic, and then connect to related material.

The CD also contains video interviews with noted designers and print professionals, a 2,000-year timeline of prepress history, a comprehensive glossary, a Build-a-Page quiz to test your knowledge, and an Autoplay feature for presentations. An easy-to-use online help system explains the interface. All necessary system resources are included with a simple installer program, which loads in minutes. With 24-bit graphics, 16-bit audio, and QuickTime technology, this CD offers a complete, high-quality reference tool for users with any level of expertise.

Shown on the left are just some of the program elements found in the CD. This program utilizes a number of "floating" palettes: Tools, Volumes, Navigator, and Find/Link. The Tools Palette contains the Pointer, Find, Notes, Help, Zoom and Grabber tools.

The Volumes Palette has sliders to control System/Voiceover (V.O.) volume, PlainTalk volume, and background music volumes. The Navigator Bar offers buttons to control your movement through the information on this disc. Clicking the loupe brings you to the Home screen.

Clicking on Topics takes you to the Prepress Topics launch screen. The Move arrows step you through the disc's topics. The Navigator Bar will change to include new information areas as the user travels through the different sections of the prepress topics. As with all other sections of the CD, the Prepress Topics section can also be accessed through the Home screen. This user-friendly interface makes Agfa's new CD-ROM a fun and exciting informational tool. You may purchase this and other publications using our convenient online order form.
