You can make glassy objects with prismatic catchlights, tarnish any surface, pour on iridescent oil-slick colors, and customize your textures. Over 100 presets get you started right away with all the possibilities. Quickly create appealingly 'touchable' 3-D appearances like slippery ice or weathered copper, as well as eye-catching text, buttons, and special effects.

It can download and erase pictures from Agfa, Olympus, Epson and Sanyo digital cameras and it is often up to 70% faster than bundled software - sometimes even faster. File creation dates can be set to the time when the picture was really taken. Downloads operate smoothly as background tasks, taking a minimum amount of processor cycles. Other work can progress normally while a download is active. Each picture can be viewed and edited as soon as it has arrived. These features combined with the fast downloads offer significant time savings to digital camera users. Cameraid is useful even if you don't have a digital camera or prefer not use the serial port for downloads. Pictures can be rated using a simple "thumbs up", "thumbs down" grading system. Selected files can be dragged to other applications or simply moved or copied to a new location. Best of all, files are easily renamed within Cameraid, so there's no need to pop back into the Finder to rename a document. Cameraid is shareware US$15 (payments through Kagi). The unregistered version is fully functional, but shows a registration notice at startup. Cameraid requires Quicktime, ColorQuickdraw and System 7 or later, and is compatible with the latest system software, including System 8.1. Testing indicates that it works on G3-series PowerMacs. Version 1.0.1 fixes a bug that prevented picture files larger than 512KB to be downloaded.

One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items. Now you can with a vengeance! NEW FEATURES Changes In Version 4.2.1 * bug fixes: - those who use the Dvorak keyboard layout can now use CopyPaste - Renaming Archives and Clip Sets now save - other minor bug fixes * the "Use Popup Palette" feature can be toggled on and off by option-click on the zoom box of the Palette. Changes In Version 4.2 * A new option in the preferences "Use Popup Palette" when turned ON allows the Palette to collapse automatically to icon size when the mouse is not over it, and expand to normal size simply by pointing to the CopyPaste icon. This is a very handy way to have the Palette available all the time. * The Palette is now resizable. * ClipViewer, ClipExtender and small zoomed Palette can now each have their individual size and position which is remembered thru restarts. So you can view the clip in a large window which is centered on the screen without repositioning the Palette in its ClipExtender state. * Clips can be trashed in the Clip Viewer mode. * A new color screenshot utility can be found in the picture utilities menu. * A new utility to rotate a text string can be found in the picture utilities menu. * A new Internet utility which converts styled Text to HTML is added for [Archived as /info-mac/gui/copypaste-421.hqx; 848K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 10:24:26 -0700 From: owner-csmp@ugrad.ece.mcgill.ca Subject: [*] csmp digest Vol 4 No 054 C.S.M.P.

With FrameBlenderQT installed on your Mac you can use Apple MoviePlayer to export a single PICT generated by blending together every frame of a QuickTime movie. This is useful for combining several noisy frames of the same scene into one crisp clean snapshot. Since the noise is different in every frame, blending many frames together acts to cancel out the noise.Anyone who uses a video camera to grab stills can benefit from this. Alternative uses include simulating a time exposure by blending the frames of a time lapse movie and creating motion blur effects by blending frames with movement. This is version 1.0b3, the third public beta. This version requires a Macintosh with Apple's QuickTime software. It works with MoviePlayer 2.5 and MoviePlayer 3.0 Pro. This version improves memory handling, supports longer movies, and more gracefully handles unsupported movies (like audio-only movies).

You often run more applications at the same time? You wish you could quit one or more applications without having to make them active first? You would like to know their memory sizes without having to display the About This Computer box? You would love to have your largest unused memory block size always under your eyes? If so, then MaBaSoft Quit CSM is what need. MaBaSoft Quit CSM is a module for the control strip that displays memory information (largest unused block and application sizes) and enables you to quit applications without having to make them active. You can quit a single application (including the Finder), all background applications or all running applications. You can moreover specify applications which have not to be quitted by Quit CSM. MaBasoft Quit CSM is 5 US$ shareware. It available from the MaBaSoft ftp site at ftp://macware.erehwon.org/pub/by_author/MaBaSoft/Quit_CSM_1.4.sit and from all major Macintosh shareware ftp sites. System Requirements MaBaSoft Quit CSM runs on all types of Mac and needs System 7.1.1 or higher. Control Strip, Extensions Strip or Desktop Strip need to be installed. Minimum Extensions Strip version supporting Quit CSM is v1.5.2. --------------------------------------- What's new in MaBaSoft Quit CSM v1.4? The "Exclude" command has been added. It enables the user to specify applications which have not to be quitted by Quit CSM. This feature is particularly useful in case of applications which are launched at startup and which should be always running. The user can safely take advantage of the "Quit Others" and "Quit All" commands without quitting the excluded applications. An excluded application can be readmitted in the Quit menu by activating it and by choosing the "Include" command. The advanced Quit menu (shift-click on Quit's control strip icon) has been introduced. It lists all running applications and enables the user to quit excluded applications. The "Quit Finder" and "Restart Finder" commands have been added. They are displayed in the advanced Quit menu (shift-click on Quit's control strip icon) and give the user the possibility of quitting and then restarting the [Archived as /info-mac/gui/mabasoft-quit-csm-14.hqx; 168K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 10:24:12 -0700 From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?G=E9rard?= Sebbah Subject: [*] MacWinText 1.0 MacWinText 1.0 - this program allows you to convert text and RTF files from Windows to Macintosh format and vice versa.

SpriteWorld 2.1 is a major update to that release, and provides numerous improvements, including an impressive list of new features and some bug fixes. Several cool new demos are also included in the package. SpriteWorld is a free animation package for programmers that allows you to easily add sprite-based animation to your program. SpriteWorld was designed with game programmers in mind, and has many features that are very useful for making games, such as smooth overlapping of sprites, custom blitters to speed up the animation, pixel-precise collision detection, the ability to create an unlimited number of sprites of any size, a fast scrolling engine, and much more. SpriteWorld comes with complete source code, so you can modify it if necessary to suit your needs. Here are just some of the improvements in SpriteWorld 2.1: * Numerous bug fixes. * Various speed improvements. * A wide variety of new or improved blitters, customized for various uses and situations. These include blitters for all bit depths for 68K and PPC compiles, 68K and PPC blitters optimized for 8 bit color, and blitters for real-time scaling, rotating, translucency, and lighting effects. * A new double-rect blitter which eliminates the ugly "seams" from scrolling animations, in addition to making them go faster on most PowerMacs. * Functions that allow you to move and resize your window, while still being able to use direct-to-screen blitters. * Two new callback functions allow you to draw in the offscreen areas during the animation after the sprites were erased, and after they have been drawn, but before the screen is updated. * Functions for determining whether a sprite has run into a tile or "set" of tiles. * The ability to set "hot spots", used to calculate the location of each Frame of a Sprite. * Split-screen scrolling routines allowing two or more viewpoints of the same game field. * Several great new demos, such as: - Shark Attack, an example of a real game that uses SpriteWorld. - Split Screen Scrolling demo, which demonstrates the split screen scrolling routines. - Platform Scrolling, a basic platform type game. - Maze Game - move the ball around the maze. - Various demos that make use of the rotating, scaling, translucency, and lighting capabilities. * SpriteWorld is now completely compatible with the latest version of CodeWarrior Pro and the Universal Headers, while still remaining compatible with Think C 6.0 and earlier versions of CodeWarrior. * Lots of new tips in the SpriteWorld Tips and Tricks file.
