ArtEffect Das Ultimate Graphics Progran DEMO 1.0 Installation Reference When you received AE from the Internet (W) the installation is simple as can be. Unpack the archive AE.LHA with LHA or another suitable program. A drauer named "ArtEffect.Deno" is created automatically. If the BGUI.library does not yet exist in your LIBS: directory you must copy it to this location. You will find it in the drawer LIBS. Before starting the program an ASSIGN is required. This can be executed by double-clicking the ASSIGN icon or by entering the following command to your user-startup file. ASSIGN ArtEffect: drauer_of_installation Please keep in mind that AE requires the following systen: - ECS or AGA systen or CyberGraphX software - hard disk - at least 2 MB RAM (with limitations), 4-8 MB RAM are recommended Linitations of the deno version of ArtEffect After 10 steps the word "DEMO" is written to the image Only IFF and JPEG pictures can be loaded (Loaders and Savers for BMP, GIF, TIF, PCX, PNG, TARGA, MPEG are missing and Datatypes can not be used !) Saving and printing pictures is disabled. (You can not use TurboPrint or Studio with the deno version and using the special ArtEffect 24-Bit-Workbench driver is not possible !) All filters can be used, but the word "DEMO" will be written to the picture, before the filter is used. The special version for advanced processors (>68000 and 68881/2) of some filters are missing. IMPORTANT The word "DEMO" is always written into the image using the foreground colour. When this happens, there will be a delay during which you will not be able to use the program. Keep in mind that, as the word "DEMO" is always written in the same colour the ch will I not be seen as if the program has stopped working. This is simply the delay mentioned above, and the program will become operable again in a few seconds! Starting the Deno version Before the starting ArtEffect, the command "ASSIGN ArtEffect: drauer" must be executed. If that is not done in your user-startup sequence you must do it nou by clicking on the icon MAKEASSIGN Nou double click on the icon to start ArtEffect. The startup dialogue will appear and the Plug-Ins are loaded. After a short while the GUI is loaded too. A click will close the startup dialog and ArtEffect is ready for use. Try opening a picture now and have a look at firtEffect's exciting Please keep in mind that the deno version can only load IFF and JPEG pictures. E IMPORTANT - In case ArtEffect should not start correctly, please delete all files in the drauer "ArtEffect:Settings" Creative. Intuitive. New. ARTEFFECT The Ultimate Graphics Program. only be for hill like it but also the professionals who are ArtEffect unites painting and image processing under a particularly productive user interface. We enphasise on productive functions which are quick and simple to use in your daily work. However not h quality and who want to get the job done quickly looking and efficiently. ArtEffect is not "just another" graphics program for the Aniga. ArtEffect is not oriented towards the current "standard" programs on the Aniga, but rather to the classic programs for professional image_p e processing such as Photoshop (TM) and for creative painting like Fractal Painter (TM). Proven concepts and ideas of these classic products were nerged with the uncontested advantages of the Aniga. You see the result before you. Naturally these are only advertising statements if they are not supported by facts. Here then is the deno version of ArtEffect, which giving you an opportunity to convince yourself of the advantages. Professional Image Processing with ArtEffect Processing scanned images and graphics of all kind has been the Amiga's domain ever since the machine appeared. Nevertheless the products available for the Aniga have not been widely recognised by the graphics world during recent years. ArtEffect is the first program to provide productive image processing functions under a uniform and effective user interface in the typical miga style. Selection Functions Particularly important are the functions to select certain areas of an image for processing. Of course some filters are often applied to the entire inage, but when dealing with image errors it is necessary to select a particular area. So one can retouch a scanned photo in a marrow area without influencing the quality of the rest of the picture. ArtEffect offers a wide range of selection known as nask functions) such as: specialities like colour selection, running masks functions (they are also rectangle, cirs and Magic Wand" " and (selection of connected areas with similar colour). With this all cases of selections of certain areas can be done quickly and easily. More than 30 Effects applied to ArtEffect offers more than 30 different effects with countless options. All effects are used the same way and they all have the same user interface. Each effect has e.g. a Preview in which the effect is to an image section. The range can be zooned in and out. A progress bar shous the progress of the operation. The options are very extensive so every effect can be adapted to your personal wishes. List of all effects: Colour Filters - Antique - Dynamic Range - Colour Correction - Colour Space Process Histogran Equalisation Negative Posterise Solarise - Threshold Blur Gaussian - Strong Gaussian - Strong Blur Smooth Sharpen - Sharpen Fine - Sharpen Coarse Stylise - Displace Pixels Edge Find Laplace - 011 Paint - Max Paint Distortion - Caricature - Curl Pixelate Median - Mosaic - Polar Mosaic Segnentate Picture Specials BumpMap - Convolution - Mirror Picture Shift Picture Natural Painting with ArtEffect the paint programs will only be able to paint in full While most of colour with full intensity and density. "natural painting" means to simulate natural drawing tools like paintbrush, crayon, airbrush, chalk, coal, oil colour. Coal, chalk, paintbrush, crayon, good job on simulating offers many controls for are To do a oil colour all these drawing tools node, opacity, intensity, density, roughness, adjustable. With it the transparent form etc. All values freely colour of a water colour brush looks very realistic and also harsh chalk can be simulated excellently. step further and even offers simulation of Painting on different materials ArtEffect still goes one different materials. You Tools can paint on canvas, wood, stone, marble etc. ttributes of Painting The properties of the three transparency, opacity, basic tools stencil, brush, airbrush compl be rede ressure sensitivit Forn, intensity, density, (only on eaphic trays) and Fade Out can be adjusted freely. With all these properties, natural drawing tools can be simulated very well and without any fringes. The properties of the tools are stored in the brush manager. Image sections (brushes) as well. which are needed more often may be stored here Strong Effects of ArtEffect Perfect Retouch of Images Scanned pictures distorsions. often have scratches, specks of dust or similar With filter one can remove these automatically, but the image will houever loose its sharpness. It is better to retouch only area. The tools "Snear" and "Smooth", but also "Lighten" the respective and "Darken" are and with pleasure. only work in the area coverd by their tip and so they These tools can be used with great precision. Other effects like "hue", "saturation" and "luminance" may also be used this way. Endless Possibilities with Masks Masks are Therefore of defining then. Thus masks are also selections same as selecting. Masking: The fastest masking rectangles. 1. Rectangle 2. "Magic Wand": This function is the masking of powerful function for is certainly the most masking. One click with will select/mask all connected the Median one of the most productive functions of ArtEffect. we have provided several possibilities and masking is the pixels Selection: the Magic same colour. 3. Colour it all pixels of the same colour anywhere in the whole picture are selected. 4. Stencil Masking: The stencil option also has a mask mode, allowing you to work with very fine details. A very special thing are running masks. These are masks that get increasingly permeable (oblique). It can be used for sophisticated effects. The many Extras of ArtEffect ArtEffect is a pure 24-bit art package. All operations and be carried out in the highest possible quality. manipulations will always of ArtEffect All functions are very fast. Some time-critical filters are even optinised for higher processors. ArtEffect can display multiple Vieus of the same picture. A special light table allous to be overlayed. - A special perspective tool supports the creation of perspective drawings. The pantograph lets you copy one part of a picture to another place of the same one or to another picture. Many effects can be used by this operation. important features are: Zoon, Pipette (for colour selections), colour interpolator, undo function tection), lasso (for loaders/savers (IFF, ArtEffect offers many JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, BMP) but also the Amiga datatypes and the new 24-Bit datatype. ArtEffect offers an efficient driver that uses the standard for the 24-bit printer Workbench drivers. There is additional support printer enhancers TurboPrint and Studio. ArtPad II (a special ArtEffect supports the graphic tray Macon driver is needed!). the graphic tray all drawing nodes become pressure sensitive. is very important for natural drawing. ArtEffect can externally by a flexible Plug-In interface. With it 3rd party companies can offer new functions. There is also a special GUI for these Plug-Ins, so programming pre easy. then is very ArtEffect's GUI Operation of ArtEffect product. This was a prinary design goal for this The is very intuitive. is a very important GUI part, because if it is not good, you will not be able to use the full power of the program. wirtEffect uses a unique different options. They can stay open so all its parts. Different managers help you to control the d they show you the tool's current status. Because of well thought-out user interface nost of the functions of ArtEffect can be used without to the manual. The positions of all windous and managers are show up next time you start the program.
