ArtEffect 1.5 (International Demo)
==================================
The Outstanding Graphics Program
--------------------------------
ArtEffect unites painting and image processing under a particularly
productive user interface. We emphasise on productive functions
which are quick and simple to use in your daily work. However not
only beginners will like it but also the professionals who are
looking for high quality and who want to get the job done quickly
and efficiently.
ArtEffect is not "just another" graphics program for the Amiga.
ArtEffect is not oriented towards the current "standard" programs
on the Amiga, but rather to the classic programs for professional
image processing such as Photoshop (TM) and for creative painting
like Fractal Painter (TM).
Proven concepts and ideas of these classic products were merged with
the uncontested advantages of the Amiga. You see the result before
you. Naturally these are only advertising statements if they are not
supported by facts. Here then is the demo 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 Amiga 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
Amiga 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 image, but when dealing with image errors it is necessary
to select a particular area. So one can retouch a scanned photo in a
narrow area without influencing the quality of the rest of the
picture.
ArtEffect offers a wide range of selection functions (they are also
known as mask functions) such as: rectangle, circle, freehand and
specialities like colour selection, running masks and "Magic Wand"
(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
--------------------
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
applied to an image section. The range can be zoomed in and out. A
progress bar shows the progress of the operation. The options are
very extensive so every effect can be adapted to your personal wishes.
Natural Painting with ArtEffect
-------------------------------
While most of the paint programs will only be able to paint in full
colour with full intensity and density, "natural painting" means to
simulate natural drawing tools like paintbrush, crayon, airbrush,
chalk, coal, oil colour.
Strong Effects of ArtEffect
---------------------------
Perfect Retouch of Images
Scanned pictures often have scratches, specks of dust or similar
distorsions. With Median filter one can remove these automatically,
but the image will however loose its sharpness. It is better to
retouch only the respective area. The tools "Smear" and "Smooth",
but also "Lighten" and "Darken" are used often and with pleasure.
These tools only work in the area coverd by their tip and so they
can be used with great precision.
