-
- 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.
- By the makers of the award-winning EnVision Publisher program.
