Imagizer is a real-time image conversion program for your Web pages. Via its cgi-bin interface, images can be interlaced, made transparent, scaled, and a host of other features, all in real-time. Imagizer can even inline TIFF images! Version 1.1.5 now includes caching. Once an image has been converted, it is cached, then subsequent access are instantaneous. What does Imagizer mean for you or your customers? You can conserve space as well as bandwidth. If thumbnails are needed, Imagizer can build them for you, on-the-fly. There is no need to store multiple sizes of the same image any more. Have some TIFFs you want to use on the Web? Don't bother converting them, Imagizer can send those over the Web and any browser can view then, inline! Have GIFs you've created, but now want them interlaced and transparent, don't bother using other "utility" programs, Imagizer can do it all, and in real-time, ultimately saving you disk storage, bandwidth, time, and money! A demo of Imagizer as well as downloadable trial versions are available. -- Paul Colton pc@minet.com From pc@inrird.com Wed Feb 15 13:22:51 1995 Article: 18549 of comp.infosystems.www.providers From: pc@inrird.com (Paul Colton) Subject: [ANNOUNCE]: Imagizer v1.1.0 (New Release) Date: Thu, 09 Feb 1995 23:41:50 -0800 Imagizer v1.1.0 has been released! Introduction: Welcome to Imagizer(tm), the easy to use software for World Wide Web page development. Imagizer allows a Web provider or developer to greatly reduce the amount of time needed in presenting high-quality images on the World Wide Web. It allows for the real-time processing of GIF images for the presentation of Web pages. What this means is that imagery can exist on your system in its original form, no special handling needs to be done to them, and Imagizer can convert them on-the-fly as a user requests the image. In addition to real-time image processing, Imagizer also doubles as an image processing utility, allowing you to quickly take GIF images and add transparency, interlacing, and scale the images, allowing for easy batch mode processing. Imagizer allows for the real-time manipulation of GIF images in several ways: * Images can be interlaced * Images can be made transparent * Selection of color to be made transparent * Images can be scaled vertically, horizontally, or both * The scaling routine also allows for a "fast" or "high quality" mode * Real-time creation of JPEG preview image from a GIF image In łutility˛ mode, Imagizer can do all of the above from the command line for single image conversion, or batch image conversions.

This program is shareware and currently available for SunOS, HPUX, and Solaris, with an NT version soon to follow. Pricing information is available from the demo page. -- Paul Colton
