Imagine taking all the images from a single project and automatically generating versions for print, the Web, and a CD-ROM. Wouldn't it be great if you could post super-compact graphics on the Web without distorting their colors? How about renaming every image in a folder or scaling hundreds of differently sized images to a set width-at the touch of a button? With DeBabelizer you can do all that, and more.

For quickly processing lots and lots of images, DeBabelizer can't be beat. In fact, most commercial Web sites depend on Debabelizer for its unsurpassed ability to create "skinny," color-accurate Web graphics for quick-to-download Web pages.

For all its powers, however, DeBabelizer isn't ideal for creating graphics. That's best left to Photoshop, Painter, Canvas, or a similar program. Instead, DeBabelizer's real strength is processing graphics with amazingly powerful, yet easy to create scripts. The drudge work of resizing, dithering, and saving images in various formats becomes no work with DeBabelizer. Used in tandem with a mainstay graphics program like Photoshop, the program gives you the best of all worlds.

Packed with real-world tips, DeBabelizer for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide helps you quickly tap the program's power while guiding you through its tricky to learn tools and menus.

Beginners start off by learning their way around the DeBabelizer interface, and move on to working with the image processing tools, palettes, scripting, and batch automation. More sophisticated users will find special tips, tricks, and tools related to animation, film making, and Web design. Experienced designers will rely on the coverage of the powerful SuperPalette and will use the book repeatedly as a reference. With the DeBabelizer for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide, users quickly learn to master this powerful tool and find they have more time to design and create.
