Arts & Letters EXPRESS 6.0
==========================

List of Features
----------------
Color Filters feature allows you to adjust the colours of all
objects in a file - or just a few - without breaking apart the
objects: convert to grayscale, replace hue, add/remove(mix) paint
are just a few of the controls.

Extrude and Warp/Perspective allow you to simulate two-point
perspective and three-dimensional effects automatically.
Hole-cutting allows backgrounds to show through objects. Autotrace
automatically transforms bitmaps (scanned images) into editable
objects.

Additional advanced features include masking and polymorphic
tweening, A dynamically updated hint line displays options and
identifies tools and commands. An on-line glossary and keyword
search facility provide instant answers to any questions.
Sophisticated editing tools, construction toolbox for precise
drawing, line-to-curve conversion, and 4-colour separations make
Arts & Letters EXPRESS the equal of any graphic arts task.
