Bacchus Ships Image Agent
  - Drag and Drop Image File Conversion for NeXTSTEP 3.0.


Santa Monica, California  -  October 29, 1992  -  Bacchus, Inc. ships
Image Agent, a powerful, integrated image conversion tool for
NeXTSTEP Release 3.0.

With Image Agent users can simply drag and drop non-native image
files directly into graphic applications, such as PasteUp, Diagram,
Concurrence, and have the images instantly appear. Image Agent
transparently performs the image conversion as if it were part of the
actual application in use. Additionally, image files from PCs,
Macintoshes and Sun Workstations can now be easily imported over a
network into NeXTSTEP applications.

Supported image formats include; TIFF, GIF, Targa, PICT, MacPaint,
PCX, DCX, Windows BMP, MTV, IFF/ILBM, Sun Raster, JPEG, XWD, XBM and
others. 

"Image Agent allows NeXT users to share, access, and import a wide
variety of images from many different computer platforms," said
Catherine Mikkelsen, Publishing Developer Advocate at NeXT Computer,
Inc. "Images from other platforms can be effortlessly integrated into
page layout, drawing and imaging applications under NeXTSTEP 3.0."

For those requiring more image conversion options, Bacchus offers
Pixel Magician, its advanced image conversion application. Pixel
Magician provides mass conversion, precise scaling, variable aspect
ratios and image resolutions, alpha channel support, dithering, color
quantization and flexible output options.

The product is included free with Pixel Magician ($XXX), or can be
purchased separately for $XX. It is available directly from Bacchus
and through authorized NeXT distributors, VAR's and dealers. Free
demo disks are available.
