DA's Layout TC: Amazing Page Layout Program!

New from Europe! DAs Layout is the ultimate desktop publishing system for 
your Atari! DAs Layout is a pre-press program which forms the core of a 
highly professional print package, fully integrated with DAs Vector and 
DAs Picture!

Like Calamus SL it is modular and allows access to utility programs. 
Unlike Calamus SL, it has a system of layering to separate out elements 
of the document. Its modules include Page Frame, Picture and Vector 
editor as well as a Barcode generator and a tracer which traces bitmaps. 
DAs Layout has the ability to use Calamus and Postscript fonts and edit 
them using an included font editor.

DAs Layout has several unique features which include a powerful vector 
gradation and color blend generator and a transform tool which projects 
vectors and text into definable grids. You can even be assured of cross 
platform portability, because DAs Layout features postscript printing!

You can use Calamus CFN as well as Postscript Type 1 fonts, even use them 
both in the same page! DAs Layout even has the ability to set text on a 
vector curve from within the program or map a raster graphics onto a 
vector object. It is truly the most advanced publishing software 
available today on the Atari, and is better than Quark or PageMaker on 
other platforms!

Runs on any ST, STE, TT, Falcon or Macintosh with MagiCMac. Requires 2MB 
of memory and a hard disk drive. Ask About the Add-on Modules for DAs 
Layout! Color Calibration, Image Archive and Photoscreen Enhance Your Work!

DA's Vector & DA's Vector Pro: Color Vector Graphics!

DAs Vector is suitable for everything from 2D vector graphics to 3D 
animations. Create vector shapes and do complex blends. Convert lettering 
(in Type One or Calamus fonts) into 2D and then 3D colored objects. 
Create a series of pictures and string them together to form an 
animation! Convert scanned bitmap graphics to vector graphics. Generate 
charts and graphs quickly and easily! Graphics can be projected on to an 
editable grid or extruded into 3D shapes.

It allows vectors to be filled with bitmap textures or pictures. DAs 
Vector even has a chart generator and an animation module. It imports and 
exports CVG, DIG and EPS files and can print to a printer or TIFF files. 
DAs Vector Pro allows the use of monochrome images for tracing and fills, 
vector color gradients and animated cameras with transparent color pixel 
gradients. Runs on any ST, STE, TT, Falcon or Mac with MagiCMac. 2MB of 
memory required. Runs in any resolution from monochrome to 16.7 million 
colors with at least 640x400 pixels.

and edit pictures on any 2MB Atari. It has built-in virtual memory 
management features, so you can work on pictures of unlimited size.

Edit color curves, use tools (such as pencil, crayon, and airbrush) and

Atari. It uses tools like chalk, spray, brush, and filters which allow 
you to draw, process, and edit color or greyscale TIFF images. DAs Repro 
allows the creation of automated masks and blocks to protect areas of the 
image from processing. The program comes with a series of accessories to 
control scanners or output to printers and PS files. For the true
