ImageFX 4 - with Animation - Shipping Now! Nova Design, Inc. announced today that all preorders of ImageFX have now been shipped. All of the new orders are now being shipped, typically, within just a few days of the order being placed. ImageFX has been the Amiga's top rated image editing and special effects package for years. Now version 4 comes with complete animation features and more. If you work on video using your Amiga or want to work on animations for the Internet the new animation controls in ImageFX are exactly what you' ve been wishing for on your Amiga. The animation system is as easy to use as the animation controls in Amiga paint packages but with far more power and support full color animation, palette mapped animation and greyscale animations as well. 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. You'll also have new special effects such as Fireworks, Distorter, Blob and large upgrades have been made on Lens Flare and an all-new Text Generator with Postscript and AntiAliasing has been included. CD the Light and Something Free! ImageFX now comes on CDROM for it's standard distribution. If you don't have a CDROM drive (and you should, they're pretty inexpensive now) ImageFX will ship with a coupon to order a copy on floppies. As a special free bonus the CDROM has sequences of images, animations, and nearly the entire contents of our Internet site as well!
