ImageFX is the Amiga's top rated image
editing and special effects package. Leading in sales
worldwide, Amiga magazines have said ImageFX is 'the king
of the hill' and told their readers that 'You need this
program. Period.'
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
News in v4.0
ImageFX 4 - the Animated Details
Nova Design, Inc. has built on the new windowed interface introduced in
ImageFX 3.x and has added controls to directly manipulate animations
within ImageFX. Onscreen VCR-style controls have been added to the layering
system to allow you to move within the frames of an animation or even playback
the animation in your preview window. Brushes can be animated across a
series of frames and effects can be automatically processed across frames as well!
These controls make it easy to edit animations for use on the Internet
on your own web pages. You can create hand drawn animations, brush
animations and you can easily rotoscope video sequences, add effects, and batch
process. If you want to modify web animations, it's as easy as loading
now that you can load animations. Full support for loading and saving entire
or partial FlyerClips is included for Amiga Toaster/Flyer owners.
Many image processing functions and effects have been updated to work
directly on frames and layers now. And what would a new upgrade of
ImageFX be without new special effects? We don't know, since we've never
released without including new effects before and we're not going to do so now.
We've got some cool new effects in this release - read on!
- Fireworks
- Distorter
- Blob is a fun, if messy, effect. With Blob you can set your parameters
to make a translucent colored ooze slide down your image. Looking to
simulate the effect of slime? No problem with Blob!
The Text Generator has had so many improvements that it is like a whole
new module. You can now use PostscriptT fonts with it in addition to Amiga
bitmap, color, and outline fonts. You have more control over the fonts.
The fonts now can anti-alias for the best possible display. Best of all you
now see your fonts and text, exactly as they'll appear, on the display of
the image in it's own window!
