Disc Cover 1.0.5 is Out!
I have some good news to tell you, Disc Cover v.1.0.5. is out.
The program now supports changes of iLife 06 formats and provides convenient
way to create collages. Print settings have improved. Bug fixes.
Version Changes:
Import:
- Work with photos in designs has extended. Now any image can be set as an
auto replaceable (menu "Format/Image/Replace Image at Import") —
so it will be replaced with user's photo when imported from iPhoto. Convenient
for creating collages.
- Drop an image from Source Panel onto a selected image will replace it.
New image will be cropped to fit available space.
- New project format, iDVD 6 is supported.
- Number of imported elements from iDVD 4 increased.
- iPhoto folders are now supported.
Printing:
- Last used printer and paper will be selected in the future.
- Problem with blocking Cut Lines and Dotted Marks is solved.
- "Print as Raster Image" check box is also remembered
for future use.
Other:
- In addition to resizing and rotating several selected objects as
one, flip option was added.
- 3 new designs (auto-generated vector fonts).
- Different minor improvements (Assistant, Paper Dialog, copy/paste
mechanism, print calibration, custom mask, iPhoto and Finder import).
Tips&Tricks
Pay attention to the Disc Cover Image Auto-Generation
tool. You can use it from the menu with Insert/Image/Generate Random command.
3 new designs ("Frames", "Funny Mess", "Infinity")
in the current update illustrate how it works. Use Generator to get a unique
design for your disc. By the way, this tool is only a one piece from many
other cool things included in our freeware Image Tricks v.2 (coming soon).
See below more info about Image Tricks.
About Image Tricks
Do you know what Image Tricks is? It's a free image editor for
Mac OS X Tiger, based on Apple Core Image filters.
This cool app lets Tiger users apply special effects like pro image editors.
Image Tricks provides 43 effects (it's a long list; just let it wash over you):
Color Controls, Exposure Adjust, Gamma Adjust, Hue Adjust, White Point Adjust,
Color Monochrome, Unsharp Mask, Gaussian Blur, Motion Blur, Zoom Blur, Bump
Distortion, Circular Splash, Hole Distortion, Pinch Distortion, Twirl Distortion,
Glass Distortion, Bloom, Gloom, Crystallize, Pointillize, Pixelate, Edges, Random
Generator, Circular Screen, Kaleidoscope, Parallelogram Tile, Triangle Tile,
Starshine Generator, and Sunbeams.
Image Tricks is integrated with all BeLight's programs, as well
as Disc Cover. If you download Image Tricks, it'll replace dialogue "Edit
Image" in Disc Cover. So, you've got Crop Dialogue and all the effects
available in Image Tricks.
Go ahead and give it a spin!
!Top Secret information: now we are working to release Image
Tricks, version 2. It will contain a lot of Auto-Generator tools, and of course,
more image tricks;)
