TrueSpectra Releases New Version of Best-Selling Photo>Graphics for OS/2
Toronto, Canada - TrueSpectra Inc. today announced an enhanced version of
their best-selling Photo>Graphics for OS/2, a highly advanced and innovative
graphics creation and editing application. The release of Photo>Graphics PRO
for OS/2 V2.0 features many important new features, using an innovative object
based design for advanced integration of photographic images, user draw and
text layout.
Following on the successes of the critically acclaimed Photo>Graphics for
OS/2, Photo>Graphics PRO V2.0 builds upon the original creative design with
extensive support for additional graphic file formats, TWAIN for OS/2 scanner
device drivers and optimized Postscript printing. Included are new features
for automation via the OS/2 REXX language, new drawing tools, additional image
effects, and even greater support for creation of Web based graphics. The
package also contains a royalty-free Image and Clipart library and a 5-user
license copy of the product built using IBM's OpenDoc component technology.
Since the original version release in mid-1996, Photo>Graphics has been a Top
10 selling application with exceptional customer reviews extolling the
simplicity with which professional quality graphics are created. The release
of PRO has generated tremendous amounts of excitement, with orders already
pouring in.
Photo>Graphics PRO is built upon TrueSpectra's patent-pending ColorWave
Graphics Engine which integrates resolution independent graphic objects with a
highly efficient, real-time rendering engine. The result is the ability to
create fully scalable professional graphics on existing hardware. Versions of
the ColorWave engine and the Photo>Graphics application are preparing for
release on other platforms including Windows 95 and Windows NT, Macintosh, and
multiple UNIX variants.
Photo>Graphics PRO v2.0 requires a PC running OS/2 Warp 3.0 or later with a
486/66MHz or higher processor, 8MB RAM, and at least 256 color video support
(64,000 colors or higher is recommended).
Photo>Graphics PRO v2.0 has a suggested retail price of US $249.95, and is
available through retail channels in North America, Europe and Australia.
Registered owners of previous Photo>Graphics versions can upgrade for $99.95
until August 31st, 1997.
TrueSpectra can be contacted for orders and product information at 4950 Yonge

graphics tools around ColorWave technology and the evolving graphic-centric
world of the Internet.
