Andrew Stone Interview: http://maclectic.com/B2/index.php

Are you into special effects in digital processing and imaging? How about adding anther 108 special effects? iMaginator does that.

iMaginator is totally AppleScriptable and works seamlessly with AppleÕs Spotlight and Core Imaging technologies.

Russ Conte has grabbed the bull by the horns and run with it, by creating a number of tutorial videos linked above. Go watch them.

Now go download a copy at Download: http://www.stone.com/NewDownload.html and play with it for 14 days on your own.

1. Launch iMaginator - the first time you launch, each possible effect is demoed to you - this will last about a minute or so. To pause/resume, just type <SPACEBAR>.

To stop it midway, type anything else.

If you want to see Demo again, choose Tools -> Watch All Effects.

2. Add a few cool filters from the Favorites category in outline view on left

3. Click on the Filters library (the center button) - and drag one onto the image!

4. Try some of the effects on the Tasks menu

One again, the folks at Stone Design have done a magnificent job taking what works and making it work even better. More professional software at a Shareware price!
