Flo' turns your 2D images into a pliable, plastic-like surface which you can stretch, distort, and pull without causing any degradation to the original image quality!
Flo' images can be output at any resolution Tiff or PICT, so important to professional illustrators and designers. Numbered PICTS and PICS files can be output to many commercially available design and QuickTime¿ applications or other animation packages. With Flo' you can scale, translate, rotate, skew or perform arbitrary transformations on any part of an image while the rest of the image remains unchanged. You have global or local control without the use of control points or grids.
Also, you can work on low-resolution versions of high-res images and when you are happy with your picture, you simply save the instructions as a Flo' document and swap the high-res image into the document workspace and all your special effects are automatically applied. There's no control points to move; you simply use Flo's free-hand outlining tools to achieve these amazing results! Flo'. . . for serious fun!
