	WarpItTM Image Manipulation Tool for NeXTTM computers begins
shipping, MIDIapolis Systems and Black Adder Research announce distribution
				agreement


MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota, August 4 1992 -- Black Adder Research announced
today the release of WarpIt, an image manipulation application for NeXT
computers. MIDIapolis Systems announced an agreement with Black Adder
Research in which MIDIapolis Systems will distribute WarpIt throught its
dealers.
	"WarpIt is a powerful image processing too, the first of its
kind on the NeXT platform", said William Rozzi, owner of Black Adder
Research.
	WarpIt allows user to perform animated transformations of digital
images, similar to the morphing effects featured in recent videos and
feature films. For example, an image of a person's face could be distorted
over a series of frames to make their nose grow. The resulting sequence 
may be edited, played back, and saved as an animation file.
	In addition to the non-linear mesh warp, WarpIt also includes
rotation, shear, perspective, mirroring, and scale change operations, all
implemented using non-aliasing algorithms.
	"It's another step towards establishing NeXT as a leader in the
computer graphics world", said Gerard Schwarz, president of MIDIapolis
Systems.
	WarpIt is expected to be used in a large variety of field including
graphic arts for photo correction and electronic caricatures, law
enforcement for mug shots using composites of warped real images, multi-
media for still graphics and animations, cartography for image registration,
and for the development of icons from real images.
	Because NeXT workstations have built-in Display PostscriptTM, the
user sees high-quality graphics on the screen and on the printer. More than
any other computer, the NeXT compuger provides true WYSIWIG (What you see
is what you get) capabilities. WarpIt takes full advantage of these
capabilities.
