Canto Software Announces New Adobe Illustrator File Filter For Cumulus
Network Image Database
Delivers Enhanced Workflow for the Newspaper Industry
Las Vegas, NV-- June 17, 1996 --Canto® Software, the technology
leader in digital image management software, today announced plans
to release an Adobe Illustrator file filter for the Canto Cumulus Network
Image Database as an enhanced workflow solution for Cumulus users in the
newspaper industry. The new Adobe Illustrator file filter enables Cumulus
users to automatically extract text from Adobe Illustrator documents and
place it into the Cumulus notes field, where it can be directly searched
upon. Canto will show a pre-release version of the new Illustrator file
filter running on Cumulus at Apple Computer's booth #1803 during the Nexpo
96 trade show in Las Vegas June 15-19, 1996.
"We created the Adobe Illustrator file filter to build on the already
powerful capability of Cumulus to manage and automate usage of the increasingly
wide range of image and document formats routinely used by newspapers,"
said Steve Goodman, President and COO of Canto Software. "We felt it
was imperative to utilize our outstanding technology to further address
the growing needs of the newspaper industry." Cumulus already fully
supports JPEG and JFIF enhanced filters that allow newspapers to automatically
catalog wire photos and their accompanying IPTC text data.
Canto VAR, Steve Schaffran, President of Tecmark Inc., Richmond, CA commented
"The Adobe Illustrator file filter from Canto will enable art directors
at newspapers or magazines to find files the way they want to--by searching
on names, places or other keywords
that were included in the body of the graphic when it was originally composed."
Director Technology and Pre-press, Stephen Schroeder of Wenatchee World,
Wenatchee, WA said "Cumulus is indispensable for proper management
of a modern newspaper. The new Adobe
Illustrator file filter makes Cumulus even more powerful and valuable. Quick
access to any image on a tight deadline is essential to getting a newspaper
to press."
The Adobe Illustrator file filter will be free of charge to existing Cumulus
users and can be downloaded from Canto's website at http://www.canto-software.com
in Q3 1996. The new file filter will also ship with Canto Cumulus Network
Image Database 2.5. The Cumulus Network Image Database server and five client
starter kit is priced at $1,795. Canto's Cumulus Software is available through
national and regional VARS as well as direct to system integrators. For
more information contact Canto Software at 415-905-0300 in North America,
and at 49-30-393-0021 in Europe.
