Pixel Magician and Image Agent give NEXTSTEP users the ability to share, access, import and export a wide variety of images from many different computer platforms. Images from other platforms can be easily integrated into page layout, drawing and imaging applications. With Image Agent users can drag and drop non-native image files directly into NEXTSTEP applications, such as Diagram! 2, Concurrence and Pages, and have the images instantly appear. Image Agent performs the image conversion as if part of the actual application in use. For those requiring more image conversion options, Bacchus offers Pixel Magician, its advanced image conversion application. Pixel Magician provides mass image conversion, image viewing, color quantization and dithering, PostScript to raster, precise scaling and rotating, variable image resolutions, alpha channel support, thumbnail views and flexible output options. Supported image formats include: TIFF, GIF, PICT, PCX, JPEG, TARGA, FAX, PS, EPS, Windows BMP, Sun Raster, IFF, PNM, XBM, XWD and others. In addition to many enhancements and optimizations, version 1.4 adds Kodak Photo CD and RIB support. Bacchus offers network floating node versions of Pixel Magician and Image Agent. Heterogeneous licensing is supported, e.g., network licenses can float between NEXTSTEP Intel based machines and NEXTSTEP Motorola based machines. Both products will be demonstrated at the NeXTWORLD Expo, booth #317, May 25 - May 27. Special pricing will be offered to all NeXTWORLD Expo attendees. Pixel Magician has a suggested retail price of $299. Image Agent is included free with Pixel Magician or can be purchased separately for $99. Network and site license pricing is available on request.
