ArcWeb
|
| ArcWeb is a web front end application to the CreoScitex Archiver file manager and asset manager server. The Archiver is meant to be a centralized depository of files for use mainly in the graphics arts environment. It has several front ends for accessing that depository. ArcWeb is supposed to be the universal method of access, available using a browser from any platform. The ArcWeb front end allows the user to search for files, view matching results, download them to his computer and submit files for storage on the Archiver. ArcWeb was first shown at IPEX 98. |

Catalogic
|
| A client / server database architecture creates a depository for all the information needed to publish a catalog.. The information is put in a structure that allows the users to interact with it without being concerned with the technical issues involved. All access is done by reference to the context in which the information is used .
CataLogic 2.0 is involved with managing the workflow of the production process. Concepts of due dates, tasks and jobs are managed by the system. Here too all access is through the context. preserving a very simple method of operation.
CataLogic won the Seybold Award of Excellence at its first showing on March 1994.
Catalogic is now marketed and sold by AO-International.

SmarTwo PS
|
| SmarTwo PS is an application program that connects the Scitex SmarTwo scanner to a Macintosh computer. The package comes in two parts:
A stand alone application, and a PhotoShop Plug-In. In both the user interfaces are identical. The stand alone application allows more control over the scanner's color tables. The application provides unique features such as rotated scanning, multiple scans with one pre-scan and virtually any magnification / resolution ratio.

ColorFill
|
| A novel graphic application for the Macintosh. It deals with ultra high resolution line art (1000-3000 DPI). It was designed as a tool for applications such as newspaper inserts, packaging and catalogs. Provides a set of highly specialized tools for color breaking scanned line art, adding color blends and correcting problems in the scanning process and the resulting line art.
Has evolved into being a complete line art assembly tool. |

MaskCutter
|
| A graphic application designed for creating masks for high resolution continuous tone images. MaskCutter uses images in the Scitex CT format. It provides extremely fast display and unique mask defining tools for creating masks to be used either on the desktop or on a Scitex production system.
Now in version 2.0 |

Echo
|
| Connects to a Scitex production system. Takes print ready files and sends them to a remote site across telecommunication lines (images are compressed using JPEG algorithms). Images are printed out unattended at high resolution (on an Iris ink jet printer) at the remote site. Tools exist for calling the image up to the screen and annotating using a variety of tools as well as voice annotation. A joint annotation session may be held where Echo is used as a communications tool.
Makes extensive use of AppleEvents as well as other Macintosh System 7.0 features. |

Colors
|
| An image retouching / manipulation program. Intended to compete with Adobe PhotoShop. Colors was intended to be a high end color manipulation and retouching system. It was to run on a Macintosh and compete with products like Adobe PhotoShop. Colors was to have a comprehensive feature set and offer great creative and productive freedom. The product never came to fruition and was abandoned in it's design phase. |

Lentrix
|
| Lentrix is an application to help prepare information for lenticular printing.
Lenticular printing takes several images and prints them in such a way so that when viewed through a lenticular lens the result will look either three dimensional or as a simple animation. |

FileTrack
|
| A visual image archival system. Allows the user to order his magnetic tape archive. Information about the tape's contents is entered automatically into a database. During the process of archival, the images may be copied to a different media and various information entered about them.
FileTrack provides an array of tools for searching, retrieving and reporting on files in both textual and visual ways. |

VIP
|
| V.I.P. is a software PostScript interpreter. It uses an Adobe kernel and is used to rasterize PostScript files and send them to a variety of destinations: files on disk or a Scitex pre-press system. It provides unique features such as on screen preview, intelligent vignette recognition as well as implementing the Scitex APR (automatic picture replacement) scheme where low resolution images are swapped with their high resolution counterparts.
Visionary and V.I.P. constituted Scitex's major involvement in DTP. |

Visionary
|
| Visionary was the first Macintosh application to connect desk top publishing with high end Scitex workstations. In its first phase it was based on a special version of QuarkXPress and later became a series of Quark Xtensions. It adds functionality to the design features of XPress as well as connecting to a Scitex production workstation. Includes capabilities such as custom grid creation and editing, multiple point blends), close cropping, an annotation layer and many others.

Blaze
|
| Design included market research, studying the competition, feature set and user interface design. The workstation is based on the Scitex proprietary hardware platform and was designed to prolong that platform's life span. It offers current users an attractive option for upgrading their system to a fast creative system with a relatively low investment. The initial design and definition were done in two weeks. (Quite an experience!) |
