Important Notes!


- If you have been using a previous version of Pixel Magician you MUST delete
the .PixelMagician file located in your home directory.  This can be done
before or after you install demo v1.2.

- You may need to manually delete the old PixelMagician.app/PixelMagician
before the Installer application will work properly.

- After installing the package, the owner must register the program.  Other
users will not have the permissions necessary to register the program.  This
means if you install the package as root, then you must run the program once as
root to register it.  Other users cannot register a program belonging to root.
They will not have the necessary write permission.

- Saving and converting have been disabled for this DEMO version.  The word
"Pixel Magician" is also composited on all images.




PIXEL MAGICIAN - THE UNIVERSAL PICTURE FILE VIEWER & TRANSLATOR

Introducing Pixel Magician, the universal picture file viewer and translator
for NeXT computers.  Pixel Magician gives your NeXT free reign in the world of
computer graphics because it converts to and from all the popular file formats.

Pixel Magician lets you view graphic files in other formats, import them and
treat them as if they were created on your NeXT.  Or export pictures created on
NeXT to other platforms in the appropriate file format, color map and bit
depth.

Use the convert window to quickly browse or preview any picture.  Convert
entire directories by simply dragging and dropping.  The Image Inspector allows
you to control the color-space, palette selections, bit depth and dithering
method for any image.  With the Scaling Inspector you can precisely control the
dimensions of each image.

Industry standard formats such as TIFF, Targa and GIF are all fully supported.
We've even extended the NeXT's ability to handle more varieties of TIFF files.

It works seamlessly through the NeXT Services menu to bring non-native file
formats directly into your page layout, word processing, drawing, painting and
imaging applications.
