PowerShop Speeds Up Photo Image Processing for Associated Press During
Super Bowl XXX

BEAVERTON, OREGON--FEBRUARY 20, 1996-- Adaptive Solutions Inc.
(NASDAQ:ADSO) today announced that the Associated Press (AP) has added the
award-winning PowerShop accelerator board to its digital camera product
line, helping member publications speed up photo image processing. Under
the agreement, the Associated Press will purchase and distribute a version
of PowerShop tailored for the AP NC 2000 and NC 2000e digital cameras. The
AP version of PowerShop has all the standard attributes, but also includes
special custom filters to enhance image quality.

During Super Bowl XXX, AP processed all of the photographs taken using
PowerShop and custom filters developed for use exclusively in the news
environment. "PowerShop allowed us to dramatically speed up the image
processing time and enhance the quality of our Super Bowl report," said
Jim Gerberich of the AP. "The PowerShop filters allow us to provide a new
level of quality from digital images eliminating the need for film."

"We are delighted that the organization that brings the images of the world
to news agencies has teamed up with Adaptive Solutions to do that task
more effectively," stated Bob Anundson, vice president and general
manager, Prepress for Adaptive Solutions. "In an industry where time is
critical, PowerShop allows the Associated Press to score under critical
deadlines."

PowerShop, a 1995 MacUser Eddy Award Winner, accelerates Photoshop
functions by factors of up to 2,000 percent over the fastest Macintosh
systems, delivering unmatched speed increases to computation-intensive
tasks such as unsharp mask, rotate, color transformations, Gaussian blur
and many others. Adaptive Solutions, headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon,
pioneered parallel processing for the desktop and embedded applications.
Adaptive designs and manufactures parallel processing products using the
CNAPS architecture for pattern recognition applications, including image
processing and neural networks.
