Zevrix Updates ArtOptimizer for Adobe Illustrator CC Compatibility - Published on 07/09/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zevrix Solutions announces ArtOptimizer 2.7, a compatibility update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe Illustrator. ArtOptimizer allows to reduce Illustrator link size and speed up processing by automatically eliminating excess image data and performing essential image adjustments. The software lets users save gigabytes of disk space, accelerate file output and cut costs through faster processing. The new version makes ArtOptimizer compatible with Illustrator and Photoshop CC.

Toronto, Canada - Zevrix Solutions announces the release of ArtOptimizer 2.7, a compatibility update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe Illustrator. ArtOptimizer lets users reduce Illustrator job size, accelerate output and reduce production costs by automatically eliminating excess image data and performing essential image adjustments.

For example, with just a click of a button users can:
* Scale images to match their dimensions in Illustrator
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert all RGB images to CMYK
* Merge layers or delete hidden ones
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image

In order to eliminate excess image data, ArtOptimizer automatically scales the images in Photoshop to match their dimensions in Illustrator, changes resolution according to the target resolution specified, and reimports images to Illustrator at 100%. As a result, the size of Illustrator job can be reduced dramatically - some jobs can shrink in size by half and more.

The new version makes ArtOptimizer compatible with the recently released Illustrator and Photoshop CC featured as part of Adobe Creative Cloud. The update is free for the licensed users of ArtOptimizer.

ArtOptimizer can dramatically benefit the workflows of service providers, printers, ad agencies and publishing houses:
* Save gigabytes of disk space
* Accelerate document output to printer and PDF
* Save endless hours - and even days - of optimizing images manually
* Save valuable time transferring jobs to outside sources
* Cut costs through faster processing

Zevrix also makes LinkOptimizer, a similar tool to optimize links in Adobe InDesign documents.

System Requirements
* Adobe Illustrator CS3-CC
* Adobe Photoshop CS3-CC
* Mac OS X 10.5-10.8

Premier IT marketing & services company Dot Com Infoway (DCI) has announced the launch of an app user testing service for iOS developers, under it's app marketing services, that will provide important and helpful user feedback on unreleased and currently published apps.

Testing provides developers with a solid understanding of a user's expectations - a clear advantage in which they will be able to gain first hand insight from real users during the development cycle, and to further help improve the marketing of existing published titles."

Concluding the testing phase, developers are provided detailed reporting and analysis which includes results and insights concerning expectations of the app, as well as, responses to the developer's inquiries, and the general quality of the app from the user's perspective.
