Version 1.0 has already been extremely popular among owners of Olympus, Agfa, Epson, Sanyo and Nikon digital cameras. Version 1.1 added a lot of new features, making the program indispensable to anyone who needs to manipulate JPEG images on the Macintosh. Version 1.1.1 is a maintenance release containing some improvements and several bug fixes. Cameraid downloads images from Agfa, Apple (QT-200), Epson, Fuji, Leica, Nikon, Olympus, Sanyo and Toshiba digital cameras. Use any serial port, including third party solutions such as the Keyspan SX Serial Card (http://www.keyspan.com). Cameraid works transparently in the background, allowing the user to continue working while the images are downloading. The program features a very fast viewer, capable of opening up to thousands of images with drag and drop from the Finder. The viewer displays useful information about digital camera files. It's the most convenient way to find out what exposure time and aperture was used for taking a photo. Supports all the cameras mentioned above and any that use the Exif standard (including Kodak, Ricoh and many others). Lossless JPEG transforms: Cameraid can rotate and transform on JPEG images without degrading the image quality. Indispensable for rotating portrait oriented photos from digital cameras to their proper orientation. Powerful batch operations can be used to copy files from flash memory cards, automatically create simple HTML web pages, add custom icons, rename files based on the date and time when the photo was taken and much more. Automatic enhancement filters to enhance images with minimal user interaction. What used to take hours of manual labor can now be done in minutes using a single batch operation. A unique filter can be used to reduce CCD image sensor and interlace artifacts. Cameraid 1.1.1 requires A Macintosh with a 68020 or better processor, QuickTime, at least System 7 and 2MB of available RAM. The unregistered shareware version is fully functional, but includes built-in delays and registration reminders in some operations. The $15 registration fee (payable through Kagi) will eliminate the delays and make working with Cameraid faster and smoother.

This is similar to the font smoothing in Mac OS 8.5, but SmoothType uses a more aggressive anti-aliasing algorithm and offers more flexibility. SmoothType is compatible with all system versions from System 7 to Mac OS 8.5/8.5.1. Under 8.5, it overrides the built-in font smoothing. Version 2.1 is now significantly faster. It also fixes problems with Microsoft Word 98, PageSpinner, and a few other applications. The shareware fee is $10 (registered users of 1.x can upgrade for $5; registered users of version 2.x do not need to pay an upgrade fee). -- Greg Landweber greg@math.harvard.edu [Archived as /info-mac/font/util/smooth-type-21.hqx; 103K] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 15:55:08 -0700 From: erkyrath@netcom.com Subject: [*] StonerSound 1.2 - a meditative musical toy StonerSound produces a weirdly hypnotic stream of rippling musical tones.

But the strength of The Musician is its scanning ability: it may explore your HDs, CDs, folders, diskettes, files, searching for sounds to play. For example you may drag your disks on The Musician then continuing your normal work: The Musician will play, asynchronously and in background, any file of above that will find. According to your setting The Musician can play any sound immediately or after your consent, in this last case, whenever founds 'snd ' resources inside a file, it also conveys you how many sounds the file contains. In addition you may instruct The Musician to collect aliases of sound files, while it's playing, so you may enjoy them, when you want, without perform another search. The main window has a simple bar that meters the input level of the microphone, you may disable the bar through the preferences. At last The Musician may show the QuickTime=81 keyboard (for your fun!) and record new sounds in 'sfil' or 'AIFF' format. The Musician is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy. It requires at least System 7 to run and uses QuickTime=81 to play some kind of files.

Features include the opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do exercises based on sound or pictures. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages.

Does anyone have personal experience (good or bad) of the Epson GT-7000 Photo scanner? It seems to be a relatively inexpensive way of scanning A4 (letter) sized paper for faxes and copying, whilst at the same time being able to make a passable job of colour 35mm slides with the bundled tranny adaptor. The spec is 600x2400 dpi (optical) although I suspect the 2400 direction won't actually resolve 2400 lines! My past experience of Epson scanners on the Mac is that their TWAIN driver could be a little troublesome, causing occasional crashes, and sometimes needing to be re-installed. (This was a GT-9000 on a Quadra 610.) The GT-7000 got 4 mice in a MacUser review, but they didn't mention transparency scanning, and I can't find any other reviews. Comments? What is the competition (A4 & able to do 35mm slides)?

BRAVO TO APPLE Hi, I was having a problem after installing Windows 95 with Virtual PC on my machine. Where are the *&&% keys located? They do not have the keycap desk accessory like us. So, I wanted to know if there was a Canadian standard I could learn which could be used on both Mac and PC. I am working now on a customized keyboards I had designed with MacKemeleon under System 6 which emulated an IBM selectric, still working even under System 8.5. It was time for a change! So, I did some search about the STANDARD keyboard which should be used in Canada if you have to deal with accents. I did some research about this topic and our Language Office in the Province of Quebec gave me some hints. Since we are a bilingual nation, the Canadian Standard Association took care of this and proposed some standards for UNIX, PC, MACINTOSH and all machines. APPLE followed nicely with a keyboard designed the way it is supposed to be. You can install this keyboard which is designed as Canadian-CSA and the PHYSICAL keyboard which comes with French-Canadian System have those keys exactly mapped on top and bottom of the key! Since I bought a All-in-One (English machine), they gave me a CAN. CSA keyboard. IS THIS NOT A GREAT COMPANY? On the PC side under Windows you have to pick ENGLISH Canada, which is multilingual. But, then you have to play hide and seek with the keys to find where everything is located. Is-it a joke or what?
