Short: PostScript-Print, PlugIn for ArtEffect2+ Author: remuss@cs.tu-berlin.de (Volker Remuß) Uploader: remuss cs tu-berlin de (Volker Remuß) Type: gfx/misc Version: 1.1 Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is the biggest of my plugins for ArtEffect2/3+. PostScript-Print is a Printer-PlugIn for the famous Image-Manipulation-Program ArtEffect2+. As a normal PlugIn it integrates seamlessly in ArtEffect's menu and waits happily for your attention. It is able to produces PostScript files which are suitable for printing directly or placing (with EPS on) in a program such as PageStream3. It is mainly written to print pictures directly out of ArtEffect to a PostScript printer or to save on disk for later printing or placing. Since no other Amiga program (except my dt2ps (AFAIK)) produces such small output files, printing is normally faster than with any other program. Because the parallel port of Amiga (and even most I/O-Cards) is slow and the main bottleneck for any recent printer. Support-Homepage: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~remuss/ Features ---------- - AFAIK the second program (first was my dt2ps) for Amiga that uses RunLength- and the efficient ASCII85Encoding to reduce the size of the PostScript file - Output can be made for printing directly or placing in e.g. PageStream3 - Gammacorrection for pictures - Interpolation to smooth pictures can be switched on - Takes advantage of picture's alphachannel - Output can be color or gray (with two different color-to-gray conversions) - Setting frequency and angle and spotfunction for output raster by user or - Automatic calculation of optimal rasterfrequency - 12 different spotfunctions included - Autofit, Autorientation ...
