---------------------------------------------------------------------
Embellish is a cross platform (OS/2 & Win95) image editing application.
Originally designed for OS/2, it takes advantage of many of OS/2's advanced
features. It is completely multithreaded - multiple images can be opened
simultaneously, file saves and printing occur in the background, etc. You have
control over the priority of processes, which allows you to manage which
programs get the most attention.
Embellish takes an object orientated approach to image editing. Every time you
make a paint stroke, cut and paste or perform a special effect you create an
object. These objects can be moved, resized, manipulated or have transparency
changed. You can even link a URL to an object for use in creating image maps.
Save objects for later use or copy and paste objects between different images.
Embellish includes 22 special effects, such as swirling, oil painting and acid
wash. Effects can be applied to the entire image or just to selected objects.
Embellish has over 50 built in numerical filters with the ability to design
your own (up to 7 by 7 grid).
Embellish has 16 paint tools that can be combined with 14 types of "paint" to
create an almost unlimited variety of looks to your paint strokes.
Embellish includes web tools to optimize colors for use in browsers. It also
can create image maps to make your Web site really professional. As mentioned,
you can link URLs to objects to make creating image maps a snap and also allow
you to easily change images without having to completely recreate the image
map.
Embellish supports interlaced/transparent GIFs as well as interlaced JPEGs. In
fact it supports over 14 different file formats and includes batch conversion
routines.
Embellish supports pressure sensitive digitizers. To use a digitizer under
OS/2 requires IBM's Pen for OS/2.
The Win95 version also supports TWAIN acquisition devices.
