DirectXtras is pleased to announce a new version (3.0) of DirectImage Xtra. About DirectImage Xtra: ----------------------- DirectImage (formerly known as DirectXport) is a cross-platform, easy to use Scripting Xtra for Macromedia Director, Authorware and Shockwave that provides applications with the ability to create, export, import, capture and manipulate images. Using DirectImage Xtra, Director, Authorware and Shockwave applications can perform the following tasks through scripting: - Export Director image cast members, lingo image objects, the Director   stage or Authorware display icons into various image file formats,   including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PICT, PSD, animated GIF and many more. - Import image files into Director image cast members or lingo image   objects. The Xtra can read from more than 30 different image file   formats. - Perform a screen capture into a Director image cast member or file. - Convert an image from one format to another. - Change the color depth of an image to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits with   palette remapping and dithering support. - Resize, scale, magnify and minify images. - Flip, flop, roll, chop, crop and shave images. - Rotate and shear images. - Perform image processing effects: blur, sharpen, oil paint, charcoal   paint, implode, explode, motion blur, morph, shade, spread, swirl,   wave, raise, edge, emboss, solarize and more. - Perform image processing enhancements: contrast, modulate, reduce   noise, normalize and more. - Get and set the image pixels and background color. - Access and manipulate image frames  layers. - Flatten or coalesce images with multiple frames  layers. - Set the image transparency. DirectImage Xtra is Shockwave safe, so it can also be used with Shockwave 7 and above and when Director safety features are turned on. When the Xtra is in safe mode it can import and export image files through a built-in file selection dialog box from/to anywhere on the local machine, or directly from/to the Shockwave support folder (DswMedia folder) without displaying a dialog box. An auto downloadable Shockwave safe package of DirectImage Xtra is also available. It is a compressed version of the Xtra that can be downloaded automatically from a web site to the user's local machine whenever needed, and once installed provides Shockwave applications on the web with the advanced imaging capabilities that the Xtra provides. The Xtra is available for Director 5 and above, Authorware 4 and above, and is compatible with Windows 9X and newer (including 2000, ME, NT, XP) as well as MacOS 8, 9 and X. New in Version 3.0 ------------------ * Images may now include multiple frames / layers. A new set of   functions was added for manipulating the image frames. * The Xtra can now import from and export to image file formats that   support multiple frames / layers, such as animated GIF, Photoshop   (PSD), DCX and MNG files. * New methods to enhance an image: imageContrast(), imageModulate() and   imageNormalize(). * New imaging effects: imageMorph() and imageCoalesce(). * New methods for importing to and exporting from image objects, with   alpha channel support: imageLoadFromImage() and imageSaveToImage(). * The Xtra now natively supports MacOS X. * The Xtra is now available for Authorware. * imageGetColorCount() was added to count the number of unique colors in   an image. * Various minor bug fixes and improvements.
