3. What is Ulead WebRazor for Photoshop?

Great images don't necessarily mean a great Web site, but they're a good
start. Now you can take Web design to a whole new level with Ulead
WebRazor for Photoshop.

Ulead WebRazor makes Web imaging and animation as easy as it should be.
This suite of powerful utilities is THE answer to image design,
production, optimization, browsing, management, and image HMTL-ization
for Web page creation. Here's how it'll help you do it faster, better,
and easier. Ulead WebRazor for Photoshop includes the following programs:
.       Ulead Web.Plugins for Photoshop
.       Ulead GIF Animator
.       Ulead Animation SmartSaver
.       Ulead GIF SmartSaver
.       Ulead JPEG SmartSaver
.       Ulead Photo Explorer
.       PhotoImpact Viewer

Powerful imaging software like Adobe Photoshop isn't specifically
designed for Web use. That's why you need Web.Plugins for Photoshop, to
add one-step seamless tileable backgrounds and drop shadows, 3D buttons
and text banners, frames and image map tags, with all the special
effects you'd expect from a pro. For the web master, this set of
plug-ins enhances Photoshop's strengths and, with all due respect,
complements its weaknesses.

Web animation is almost too easy with Ulead GIF Animator, another
component of Ulead WebRazor for Photoshop. Winner of PC Magazine's
Editor's Choice Award and NetGuide Magazine's Editor's Choice Award,
Ulead GIF Animator has no equal in making your Web sites come alive with
animation, crawling text, transitions, color cycling and other special
effects.

Striking the right balance between file size and image quality used to
require the keen eye of an artist. Now you can arm your artistic
intuition with Ulead GIF/JPEG SmartSaver, a stand-alone application or
plug-in for Photoshop or FrontPage 97. Before-and-after viewing lets you
see it before you save it – to exactly the file size and visual quality
you specify.

For batch optimization of animated GIF image files, there's no beating
Ulead Animation SmartSaver for performance and ease of use. Ulead
Animation SmartSaver reduces file size with zero degradation of image
quality, for instant bandwidth conservation. Turbo-charge your web site
without those painful image-quality sacrifices.

Photoshop lets you make images; Ulead Photo Explorer puts them at your
fingertips. It's a great boon to file management because it displays a
thumbnail of every image file in the current folder. You'll be able to
see what you're doing as you use Photo Explorer to pass these files to
Photoshop, FrontPage 97, an HTML slide show, windows wallpaper, or
web-based catalog full of image thumbnails.

If you've got hundreds of images from different sources, there's only
one viewing utility for you – PhotoImpact Viewer. You can view – and
convert – practically any file format you can think of, even open
multiple files at once. With a full array of pan, rotate, 32-level zoom,
and print functions, you won't hesitate to configure it as your Windows
default image viewer.
