WebImage Version 1.72
=====================

Key Features

     Define and View Transparent GIFs - Use the dropper tool or color dialog to 
easily select, define, or remove
     transparent regions. See the transparent region without having to use a Web 
browser. 
     Create and Edit Image Maps - Visually create, define and edit Image Map files, 
allowing "pick point regions" on
     Web page images. Creates Client Side, NCSA or CERN compliant map files. Define 
rectangles, circles, polygons,
     points, and default regions. 
     Interlace GIF and PNG Images - Create interlaced GIF and PNG images, providing 
for a visually faster image load
     time in Netscape and Mosaic. 
     Image Optimization - Auto-detect an image's color content for saving in 
variable bit depths. For example, save a 30
     color image as a 5-bit file as opposed to 8-bit, reducing the file size. 
     High Quality Color Reductions - Our color reductions provide the best methods 
for reducing image color content.
     Select a preset definition or a user-defined number of colors. Impressively 
reduce 24-bit images to as little as 30
     colors, drastically reducing file size. 
     Web Effects - Easily create basic images from scratch, buttonize images, add 
borders, add text, create button bars, or
     create embossed tiled backgrounds. 
     Extensive File Support - BMP, Fax G3/G4, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, SunRaster, 
TARGA, TIFF, and XWD.
     Supports progressive display for GIF, JPEG, and PNG. 
     Encode and Decode Files - Single and multi-part files, UU or XX, "smart" 
decoder for combining multi-part files
     without using a text editor. 
     Thumbnail Catalogs - Create and maintain thumbnail catalogs for all your 
images. Visually peruse, rename, delete,
     and load images. 
     Image Enhancements - Cut and paste, modify selected areas, crop, color reduce, 
resize, rotate, mirror, brightness,
     contrast, sharpness, gamma, remove noise, and invert. 
     Printing - Print single images, catalogs of images, or ranges of images. 
     External Viewer for Mosaic and Netscape - Defined as an image viewer, WebImage 
communicates directly via the
     Enhanced Mosaic and Netscape SDI.
