Q1) 	Will Pixel Magician allow me to import/export images from other platforms, i.e., Macintosh, IBM-PC and SUN ?

A1) Pixel Magician can read and write the standard image formats found on most computer platforms, i.e., PICT, TIFF, GIF, Windows BMP, PCX, Sun Raster etc etc.

Q2)	Will Pixel Magician run on both Motorola and INTEL based machines?

A2) Pixel Magician is available as a FAT binary for both Motorola and INTEL based architectures.

Q3) Can Pixel Magician perform batch conversions, e.g., can Pixel Magician process more than one file at a time ?

A3)  Pixel Magician allows multiple images or entire folders to be converted. Any parameter can be applied during batch conversions, e.g., scaling, quantizing, rotating etc etc. Source image files can also be of different types.

Q4) Is Pixel Magician easy to use ?

A4) Pixel Magician's intuitive interface makes it easy to perform high fidelity image conversions.

Q5) Does Pixel Magician support image compression ?

A5) Compression options are provided via simple panels to specify compression ratios and other options. Formats that support compression include: JPEG ( JFIF ), TIFF files ( LZW, Packbits, JPEG, Group III and IV ) and  Windows BMP files ( RLE ). 

Q6) 	Does Pixel Magician support Image Viewing ?

A6) Individual and multiple images can be opened for viewing. Pixel Magician also supports mini-window thumbnails views.

Q7) Can Pixel Magician create an optimized color image for platforms that do not support true color ?

A7)  Pixel Magician supports color quantization which allows you to control the number of colors in an image. When quantizing, Pixel Magician will choose the best possible colors/palette for an image. You can also apply error diffusion dithering when quantizing to prevent color banding. 

Q8) Does Pixel Magician support PostScript to raster conversions ?

A8) Pixel Magician can be used to smoothly scale a PostScript image to
any size and resolution ( Note: limit under the current version of NEXTSTEP is 10,000 points in either dimension ) and then save to any of our supported raster formats, e.g. scale a PostScript image to 8.5" x 11 at 400 dpi, save as a TIFF for placement into a page layout application.
