Suggested long description:
---------------------------
PhotoVision Pro for Windows is an advanced image manipulation,
enhancement, conversion, slideshow, and capture program.
PhotoVision Pro offers control over brightness, sharpness, contrast,
hue, saturation, histogram, colors, palette, and every aspect of
image manipulation, just to mention a few of the program's many
image effects and transformations.
PhotoVision Pro provides amazing special effects such as: pixelize,
posterize, blur, edge enhancement and detect, vibrate, charcoal,
negative, erode, dilate, noise reduction, and much more. You can
also define your own filters of up to 10x10 matrix each.
You can rotate at any angle (in 100-th degree increment), flip,
mirror, resize, crop, and even cut images or regions.
PhotoVision Pro can convert between any image format to any other
image format. It can even convert an image to grayscale, it
can change its color resolution from 1 bit per pixel all the way
up to 32 bits per pixel (with the option of applying any of 7
dithering methods. It can even convert an image to its halftoned
representation for printing.
You can convert images from one format to another. PhotoVision Pro
can read and write bitmap images in these formats: PCX, TIFF, PCD,
JPEG, JFF, JTF, JIF, GIF, BMP, PVC, CMP, TGA, CAL, MAC, MSP, WPG,
RAS, PCT, EPS, WMF, DIB.
PhotoVision Pro can also handle vector images (drawings) in these
formats: CDR (CorelDRAW), DXF (Auto-CAD), DRW (Micrografx),
PIC (Lotus), WPG (WordPerfect vector), PLT (HPGL graphics language),
CGM vector, and GEM vector.
Draw shapes such as lines, boxes, or ellipses into the image.
You can even insert text in your images using any Windows font.
PhotoVision Pro can compress JPEG, PVC, or CMP images by as much
as a factor of 1 to 200. For example, you can easily compress a 5
Megabyte JPEG, PVC or CMP file to a file of 25K or less. PhotoVision
Pro lets you specify exactly the amount of compression versus quality
to apply. This feature is great if you have to transmit large images
by modem. (Normally, generic file compression programs (such as PKZIP
or LHARC) cannot compress 24-bit images significantly.)
You can change or optimize an image's palette or its color
representation. You can change the colors of an image among 1, 4, 8,
16, 24, or 32 bits using these dithering methods: Burkes, Floyd-Stein,
Sierra, Stucki, Stevenson-Arche, Jarvis.
Capture screens, areas, entire windows or client areas and bring
them into a PhotoVision Pro window.
You can even scan images directly into PhotoVision Pro using any
TWAIN supported scanner.
PhotoVision Pro allows you to work on multiple images at the same
time in separate windows. You can view an image at any magnification
level between 5% and 2000%. PhotoVision Pro also provides a magnifi-
cation by which the image is automatically scaled to fit in the window.
PhotoVision Pro is very easy to use, with an easy to use icon bar,
a status line, and fly-over hints. PhotoVision Pro also has a pop-up
menu invoked with the right button on your mouse. PhotoVision Pro has
detailed on-line help covering every feature of the program.
PhotoVision Pro includes a powerful slideshow feature. You select
which images to show, and then PhotoVision Pro does the rest. You can
even apply anyone of the 20 different transition effects when displaying
the image (for example, you can have your image spiral into the screen,
or have it appear as random pixels of customizable size, just to mention
just two of the 20 different effects.) You also have precise control
over the screen location of each image, screen background color.
PhotoVision Pro's slideshow feature is more powerful than most dedicated
slideshow programs, and combined with PhotoVision Pro's image
capabilities it will make your slideshow presentation really stand out!
PhotoVision Pro can also print an image, letting you position and
size the image on the printed page with great accuracy.
