Imaging applications today work with linear resizing, so everything within the image changes size proportionally. Xfile 2 does that too with super advanced algorithms and now features a seam carving tool that allows the image to be resized while changing its aspect ratio and keeping important features untouched. It removes or adds areas to an image that would be least noticed.

To give users more controls on elements of the image they absolutely want to maintain and the parts they do not really care about, Xfile’s Seam Carving features provide an easy-to-use interface to define image areas. Xfile 2 offers a dual set of Protect/Erase masks. Users simply brush on the image to protect an area, or brush to tell Xfile that this area can be carved out during the resizing. Xfile 2 also provides users a preview of the effect an operation will have on an image before they finalise their changes.

Xfile 2 is the perfect tool for:
- Professional photographers that need to regularly change the size of their photos while maintaining the best quality
- Digital photographers to change image size while keeping maximum details
- Printers/Repro houses that need to modify image sizes to fit specific documents
- Web designers that increase or decrease image sizes while keeping the maximum details for display
- Hobbyists that may start with small size digital photos to get printable images.

Features include:
- Ultra efficient upsizing algorithms for image enlargements
- Several interpolation methods including sophisticated mathematical algorithms (Lanczos/Xfile)
- High quality image downsizing to maintain the maximum details at smaller image sizes
- Fast preview at the one-to-one level of the final result within a larger preview
- Lets users enhance digital images for print and web

Xfile 2 has been designed as a plug-in for all applications supporting Photoshop plug-ins such as Adobe Photoshop 7 to CS3, Photoshop Elements(R) 2 to 6, Corel(R) PhotoPaint(R), Painter, Corel PaintShop(R), ULead(R) and Microsoft(R) Picture(R).

Xfile 2 is available now through XChange International. To order, or for more information, users can visit the XChange International website, or call on +44(0)20 7490 4455 during UK business hours.

Whether you plan to upload holiday photos on a web-site to share with your friends or you wish to decorate a personalized greeting card, you can rely on AKVIS ArtSuite – it will add elegance and style to any photo.

Now AKVIS ArtSuite does not only offer edge effects for adding photo frames to digital photos, but some other artistic effects as well. Thanks to its 15 effects and a rich Pattern Library, the software can generate an endless number of effect versions.
 
The effects are grouped as follows:

Edge Effects (Photo Frames) allow generating a photo frame for a digital photo. It can be a classic frame with wood carving or  a funny frame with some cheerful frogs along the border. Photo frames samples that come with ArtSuite can be easily tailored to any photo. Select a color for the frame; choose its form, its style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect. It is possible to create a frame with ragged edges, scratched surface, a page curl, etc. It can be a wooden frame with figured carving or a frame with an ornament. It is also possible to load the user patterns and textures to create a unique photo frame.
If you enjoy working with layers, you will appreciate the possibility to apply a transparent frame, so that the lower layer(s) could serve as background.

Artistic Effects allow experimenting with photos – convert a photo into a B&W image and consequently add a color shade to it; replace colors on an image, add a texture (chosen from the built-in Texture Library or one created by the user) so that the image looks like drawn on a canvas, brick wall, corrugated paper, etc.

The new version offers three new artistic effects: Black&White, Shift Colors, and Channel Mixer.
By user request,  button Autorun has been added. Now one does not need to click on the button Run, every time the settings are changed. New interface language (Spanish) made available.

The program can be used as an independent application (standalone) and as a plug-in to a photo editor.

One license key allows activating the software on two computers, for example, on a desktop and a laptop.

CopySmart screen with printed copy control of colored originals

CopySmart supports the complete range of Colortrac SmartLF Cx and Gx wide format scanners. It simplifies the process of managing and accurately matching the original drawing or artwork through the scanned image to the printed result. CopySmart extends the highest level of color fidelity and accuracy to the most demanding reprographics professionals.

Among CopySmart’s new features are support for the i1 X-rite (aka Eye One Gretag Macbeth) spectrophotometer; printer linearization; adjustable Detail / Brightness optimization control; third party RIP support; additional drivers for popular HP, Canon and Mutoh wide format reprographics printers; and an integral “Assist” browser-based Help system (text & video based) to reduce the learning curve and facilitate productive copying in a work environment.

All CopySmart users can upgrade free of charge.

Colortrac is the only large format scanner manufacturer to recognize the merits of both CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or CIS (Contact Image Sensor) image sensing technology. As a result, Colortrac’s SmartLF scanners are optimized to meet the needs of scanning wide format technical drawings (CIS) and or color graphics artwork (CCD). Colortrac’s software extends the image sensing benefits of SmartLF scanners through a choice of two powerful application programs dedicated to capturing and printing either scanned technical drawings and maps, ScanWorks, or the copying of color drawings and graphics artwork, CopySmart.

CopySmart’s powerful color management controls support the two primary technologies used in modern wide format printers, LED and inkjet printing. When scanning color artwork, its 48-bit color capture outputs fast LED or inkjet copies from any SmartLF scanner via internal plotter drivers and a file-based TIFF driver. This ensures that accurate copy size control and minimum paper wastage is achieved for minimum configuration effort. Printer data is routed via the printer’s Windows driver connection. Printers that are not part of its supported printer list can be used with conventional Windows configuration.

CopySmart can be color calibrated (profiled) to any paper and ink in minutes using a supplied IT8 target and in-built calibration Wizard to ensure that this critical part of the color copying process is quickly and easily achieved.

Among the main new features in CopySmart V1.3 are the following:

Printer Linearization

In order to make substantially better, more faithful color copies Colortrac has introduced printer linearization into CopySmart v1.3. Linearization improves the unpredictable inking behavior of some printers and their paper.

Linearization adds an understanding of the precise inking behavior of the printer to the profiling process. It works by interpreting the ink saturation characteristics of the paper chosen for the copy. Linearization makes a significant contribution to the overall improvement in color accuracy achieved by this new release of CopySmart.

The substantial advances in color copying performance from CopySmart v1.3′s new linearization and background color control features will be enough to satisfy most graphics users. However, driven to excel in color image quality, (Colortrac pioneered large format color scanning and introduced the first color scanner), Colortrac believed that further, subtle improvements in color accuracy could be achieved through the addition of a specialist external media calibration tool like a spectrophotometer.

i1 X-rite / Eye One Gretag Macbeth Spectrophotometer Support

combination of Colortrac SmartLF Gx 42 scanner, CopySmart and the i1 X-rite / Eye One Gretag Macbeth Spectrophotometer offers unrivalled color fidelity to reprographics professionals

As a result, CopySmart now supports the i1 / Eye One spectrophotometer, a color management and measurement tool for professionally calibrating (profiling) wide format graphics and fine art inkjet printers.

Canon Europe, a leading print solutions provider and distributor of SmartLF scanners in Europe, prompted Colortrac to adopt and support the Eye One spectrophotometer from Gretag Macbeth, Switzerland, (now owned by X-rite), a trusted and highly regarded manufacturer within the professional RIP and graphics markets worldwide. Modern multiple inkset color printers, like the popular Canon iPF8000, are capable of subtle color changes that benefit from spectrophotometer-based printer profiling.

In order for printed copies to accurately match the original image, SmartLF scanners must be calibrated first. The scanner is first profiled to obtain its color characteristics using a supplied IT8 target and built-in calibration Wizard. By establishing a known color response the scanner can be used to analyze how well the printer reproduces any given color. This forms the basis of the printer profile. The majority of CopySmart users, perhaps 99%, will calibrate in this quick, simple and effective way.

When employing a spectrophotometer to achieve enhanced accurate color matching, the spectrophotometer effectively replaces the scanner when reading the printer charts back into the computer. Use of the spectrophotometer improves the accuracy of the ICM (Image Color Management) printer profile, providing exceptionally high quality color definition unobtainable by normal profiling methods. To further improve system performance Colortrac have made changes to the supplied color chart design.

Colortrac are not advocating the purchase of a spectrophotometer by a majority of CopySmart users. While enthusiastic about the potential a spectrophotometer has to subtly improve CopySmart’s professional graphics quality, Colortrac are confident that the linearization improvements alone will provide the majority of CopySmart users with the level of high quality color copy they need. Only graphics perfectionists, say Colortrac, will be able to justify the additional use of a spectrophotometer.

Depending on how the i1 / Eye-One is received support for other spectrophotometers from different manufacturers may be added later.

The i1 / Eye One is supported via the Eye One (ES-1000 or equivalent) interface.

CopySmart “Assist” Help system

CopySmart’s integrated “Assist” Help system (text and video clip-based) provides a novel alternative to traditional text based digital manuals. It is a browser-based training system that provides CopySmart with a more visual medium of user instruction. It combines moving video clips and short texts to capture and explain all of the main configurations in CopySmart.

Detail/Brightness optimization control

The Detail/Brightness optimization control is an example of Colortrac’s determination to offer both power and ease of use. This feature adds extra user controls to a powerful function that was not previously adjustable by the user. Now, subject to user control, copy quality can be biased towards high definition white end detail or towards bright pure primary colors.

Third Party RIP Support

CopySmart can now be used with third party RIPs (raster image processors) by selecting the TIFF file driver.

Data from any copy operation, black and white or color, can now be routed automatically to any folder using a standard browse box. This allows the highly efficient front-end of CopySmart to be combined with any existing RIP software and its profiling system to produce fast, top-quality, queue managed copies direct from any SmartLF scanner. RIP job queue management allows the operator to reposition print jobs, to store partially ripped images on disk and also to reprint them as required.

Productivity printer drivers

The combination of a Colortrac SmartLF scanner, a popular wide format printer and CopySmart’s custom-written printer drivers turns the combination into the ideal large format color copying system – accurate, practical and fast.

CopySmart uses both Windows printer drivers and its own printer drivers to support today’s most popular printers, like HP, Canon and Mutoh. In CopySmart v1.3 Colortrac have added new driver support for Mutoh RJ901 (24″ / A1) and RJ900 (44″ / A0) and Canon iPF8000 wide format inkjet printers.

Unlike Windows printer drivers, CopySmart’s direct printers minimize paper waste by only using what is necessary; guarantee a high level of color copying performance; and ensure that for users who need a 1:1 copy (the majority) it is made at the same size as the original. CopySmart also supports scaling, multiple copies, step-and-repeat, paneling and annotation.

All drivers are free to registered CopySmart users.

Declan Tyler, Product Applications Specialist Worldwide, said “Our inexpensive CopySmart software uses advanced color profiling and efficient custom written drivers that allow popular large format inkjet printers to be turned into a highly accurate color copying system suitable for reproducing CAD and full color original graphics artwork.

“The new features, particularly linearization, will provide the majority of our customers with the very high level of color accuracy they need and expect. CopySmart, as supplied “out-of-the-box”, will give most users all they need to make quick, accurate copies of technical drawings, maps and full color artwork. However, the addition of spectrophotometer support adds a new and powerful level of extra sophistication. CopySmart now offers the professional reprographics industry the means to go beyond ordinary, everyday copy standards to achieve leading edge full color fidelity when printing superb fine artwork.”
