Photogenics 5.0 is now available for immediate purchase and download via Beyond.com's electronic software delivery technology, for a price of only $99.00. Paul Nolan's Photogenics is an exciting new graphics package for Linux and Windows. It allows you to create stunning images, either from scratch or by modifying existing pictures. Use this software for everything from simple file conversion, to advanced photo manipulation and re-touching. At the core of Photogenics is an innovative software process, which allows you to maintain a free, flowing rhythm while you work. Nothing you draw is fixed in place until you say so: draw, rub out and tweak until you find perfection. With this level of artistic freedom, you'll be able to experiment like never before. "People just seem to love the ability to erase mistakes with the right mouse button, and do simple yet amazing things like spraying on all of the image processing filters without having to first make tedious masks," said Paul Nolan, creator of Photogenics. "It comes as a revelation to those bound to the worn, standard editing paradigm." Summary of Features: -- Unparalleled Creativity Levels: Real-time modification of colour, transparency, image processing mode and artwork positioning. -- Realistic Media Tools: Airbrush, Chalk, Pencil, Sponge, Watercolour, Smudge and Smear designed to look and feel good using a standard mouse. -- Exclusive Paint Layer Technology: Mistakes can be rubbed out without having to redo the parts you like, using a "fade out" technique with the right mouse button. -- Paint-on Image Processing: You can apply over 80 effects simply by drawing with any of the media tools. Airbrush everything on and off for instant touch-ups without the need for tedious masking. -- Stunning Paint-On Pyrotechnics: Lens-flares, fire and explosion effects can be combined with smear to produce supernovas, waves of fire and even sunsets and waterfalls. -- Invaluable Web Designer Tools: HTML colour display and entry, plus the time saving "Save for the Web" requestor, which allows the fine tuning of graphics for the Internet. You receive an interactive preview of what the image looks like after being compressed, which allows you to choose the best compromise between image quality and download times. -- Thumbnail Image File Requestor: Images are listed in a user-friendly format with automatically generated thumbnail icons. -- Extensive File Format Support, as well as TWAIN/SANE, and built-in screen grabbing. -- Plus much, much more.
