SPG Releases ColorWorks V2, 32-Bit Graphics
MIAMI, Fl., February, 23 1996 -- SPG announced today it is shipping ColorWorks
V2, the 2.0 version of their Award Winning 32-Bit multi-threaded,
multi-tasking, and multiple-processor enabled graphics paint and image
processing program.
ColorWorks V2 extends the program into the realm of the most capable of
professional strength programs with the addition of: professional CMYK
Separation capabilities, including Tonal Compression; more Cool Effects,
including the revolutionary JPEG Cleaner; 32-Bit Plug-in Interfaces for
third-party developers; support for Pressure-Sensitive input devices, enhanced
printing with the ability to print Composite Images, Color Separations, and
Overlay Proofs; user-configurable Brushes Menu; "One-Time" drawing feature;
Anti-Aliased Filled Edges feature; additional file format support; and many
more features and usability enhancements. All of this hot technology and the
program still only needs 1MB of RAM to load!
Multi-Threaded to the MAX:
Say "hasta la vista baby" to the hourglass cursor sapping your productivity.
With ColorWorks the program is wide-open, you can even continue to draw on
canvases that have drawing operations still executing on them!
Unique Technologies:
ColorWorks immense artistic power comes from its ability to use any of its
tools to draw with colors, effects, any user defined combination of effects,
or define selection masks. This unique ability puts literally millions of
possible tools at your creative finger tips. That's millions more creativity
tools than any other program!
ColorWorks has a huge and powerful set of professional Photo Retouching
Effects, unique Filter Labs, Special Effects, multiple methods of Warping,
Distortions, and Transformations. Additional unique technologies enable you
to: change a canvas' magnification level while you are in the middle of a
drawing operation; edit compressed images; and parallel process images across
multiple CPU's for workstation speeds, and REAL "real-time" editing of huge
images.
Hot New "Full Disclosure Packaging", "CD-ROM Only Packaging",

The program is fully documented in a 580 page "library-quality" hard-covered
bound color book, and comes with a 24MB+ On-Line MEGA-Manual, and 22MB+ worth
