Part 4

By Scott Clark

A Graphic tool designed around the Web!

Without taking much time on the "standard" graphic tool features, understand that ColorWorks:Web comes with all the features that you'd expect, plus lots more, including:

• an image tag "cleaner"
• JPEG "cleaner"
• Flare FX Renderer
• Flare FX Animator
• 3D Text Animator
• 3D Text Renderer
• 3D Web Object Animator
• 3D Web Object Renderer
• accepts Photoshop-compatible filters
• the usuals - blur, sharpen, clone, rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee tools
• screen capture
• TWAIN support for scanners and digital cameras
• supports BMP, EPS (raster only), GIF, ICO, IFF, JPEG, Photo-CD, PCX, PNG, PSD, RAS, TGA, and TIFF
• can open 37 additional formats, including: DCX, JFIF, Group3, Group4, Group3 2D, CALS, IOCA, ASCII, IGF, MD:DCA, WMF, PCT (raster only), ATT, BRK, CLP, LV, GX2, CUT, DIB, IMG (GEM), IMG (Xerox), IMT, KFX, RLE, MAC, MSP, NCR, PBM, PGM, SUN, PNM, PPM, SGI, WPG (raster only), XBM, XPM, and XWD

So there you have it...a graphics tool that is full-featured enough to satisfy the pros, and easy enough to use that non-pros can still use it to produce professional looking graphics for the Web. At $99, the price is right, and you'll undoubtedly get your money's worth out of the tool. If you're still not convinced, you may want to download the demo version and try it out for yourself!
