- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
-
- GVP maintains Amiga vitality with new ImageFX
-
- VERSION 1.5 TO TAKE IMAGE PROCESSING WORLD BY STORM
-
- King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, June 30, 1993 - GVP announces the
- imminent release of a major upgrade to their renowned image processing
- package, ImageFX. Already described as "the most substantial graphics
- package to support 24-bit animation" by prominent Warner Bros. animation
- director Rusty Mills, ImageFX has now been further enhanced to meet the
- changing demands of photographers, graphic artists, animators, educators,
- scientists, and hobbyists.
-
- For Mills, ImageFX is "more usable than almost any software
- package... on any platform." Now, with the upcoming July release of the
- newest version designated 1.5, ImageFX attains new heights in flexibility,
- raw power, and value.
-
- Highlights of this comprehensive upgrade include faster global
- operation, multilevel UNDO, macro recording, and aspect lock. In addition,
- users can expect improved real-time feedback for all painting tools, new
- drawing tools, and more crazy effects.
-
- Moreover, there are dozens of new loader and saver modules, extended
- support for the new Epson 600 & 800 series scanners, plus framegrabbers like
- the VLAB and PP&S 256. In an move to stretch compatibility, ImageFX 1.5 now
- directly supports the Opalvision and Retina display boards. Finally, ImageFX
- 1.5 pushes the envelope of print quality to the limit, as further
- enhancements were made to the already-excellent output routines.
-
- If that weren't enough, the accompanying manual addendum for version
- 1.5 provides clear explanations of changes and features, plus many existing
- chapters have been expanded and revised, making ImageFX 1.5 incredibly easy
- to use.
-
- These are just some of the changes made to the program that embodies
- its slogan, "Truly Integrated Image Processing." As a tribute to this
- integration, Byrd's Eye Software, makers of the very hot ToasterVision
- package for NewTek's Video Toaster, have announced ToasterFX; an ingenious
- compliment to ImageFX that allows it to load, save, and display directly to
- and from the Toaster with professional ease! Furthermore, ToasterFX modules
- allow ImageFX to actually preview and paint within the Toaster as well!
-
- With all of the above, plus much more, one might expect to pay dearly
- for such an upgrade. However, Great Valley Products will continue to support
- their "power to the people" approach by offering this new version to
- registered users at only $29.95. Version 1.5 is anticipated to ship beginnin
- July 15, 1993. More information will be provided as it becomes available.
