Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows to reduce InDesign job size, speed up processing and reduce production costs by eliminating excess image data of InDesign links, performing essential image adjustments and converting file formats.

Toronto (ON) Canada - Zevrix Solutions is thrilled to announce that LinkOptimizer, its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign, is available at 50% off on the discount website BitsDuJour today, September 2 only. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

"LinkOptimizer makes cutting huge linked images down to size a cinch," says Computer Arts. "For those wanting to quickly optimize their images and cut down on processing time, LinkOptimizer is a very smart choice."

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign
* Change their resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK
* Resave JPEG images as TIFF
* Run a Photoshop Action on each image

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. In addition, the software can apply sharpening filters, merge layers and delete hidden ones, and process copies of InDesign documents and images instead of original files. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually; accelerate document output; reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Tandem Parking for iOS - Alerts Simplify Sharing a Single Parking Space - Published on 09/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ascent Applications today introduces Tandem Parking 1.0 free for iOS, an app that streamlines the process of roommates sharing a single parking space. When users are on their way home, one tap sends an alert to a selected roommate. If accepted, the GPS-based app automatically sends another alert when the user is almost home. This allows roommates to pull their car out and immediately park behind users after they arrive. The app eliminates the need for dangerous calling or texting while driving.

Los Angeles, California - Ascent Applications today is pleased to introduce Tandem Parking 1.0 free for iOS, it's an innovative new app that streamlines the process of roommates sharing a single parking space. When users are on their way home by car, one tap sends an alert to a selected roommate. If accepted by the recipient, the GPS-enabled app automatically sends a second alert when the user is almost home. This allows roommates to pull their car out and immediately park behind users after they arrive. The app eliminates the need for dangerous calling or texting while driving, and it solves egress issues commonly created when sharing a parking space.

Feature Highlights:
* One tap to send an alert
* Automatically sends a reminder when you are almost home
* Both free and ad-free versions available
* Makes shared parking situations a breeze

According to Wikipedia, "Another ad hoc [parking] arrangement is tandem parking. This is sometimes done with residential motor vehicle parking, where two motor vehicles park nose-to-end in tandem. The first motor vehicle does not have independent access, and the second motor vehicle must move to provide access. As with attendant parking, the purpose is to maximize the number of motor vehicles that can park in a limited space." While it allows the parking of a greater number of cars, tandem parking can be quite inconvenient when one car blocks another. Tandem Parking for iOS is designed to minimize that inconvenience by alerting those who are already parked that another vehicle will soon be sharing that space.

For example, two roommates, Bob and Tim, share an apartment and a parking space. Bob arrives home at 5 p.m. and leaves for work at 8 a.m. Tim is on a later schedule, arriving home each night at 7 and leaving at 9. Each morning, Bob is the first to leave, but because he was the first to arrive, he will be blocked by Tim. With Tandem Parking for iOS, when Tim starts home he sends an alert to Bob. One tap notifies Bob that Tim is on his way, and the GPS-enabled app indicates his exact distance from home. If Bob accepts the alert request, via the Tandem Parking app on his iPhone, Tim's iPhone will automatically notify Bob that Tim is about to arrive. This reminder alert is sent when Tim is one-half-mile from home, though this distance is user selectable. Tim arrives home to find Bob ready to exchange his spot with Tim. In this way, Bob can easily leave in the morning, without bothering his roommate.

"This is a brand new concept - software that streamlines the tandem parking experience has never been published," commented Mark Hardy of Ascent Applications. "The value may not be immediately seen to someone who isn't familiar with tandem parking situations, but anyone who is immediately understands."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 5.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Tandem Parking 1.0 is free and available in the United States and Canada exclusively through the App Store in the Navigation and Lifestyle categories. Ad-free is available as an optional in-app purchase for $2.99 (USD).

New features make for easier communication in new Predictable update - Published on 09/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Therapy Box today announces Predictable 3.0, an update to its popular text-to-speech app for iOS. Using a word prediction engine and switch access, Predictable meets the needs of a wide range of people with ALS, MND & cerebral palsy. The app gives people a voice, and allows people with limited physical ability the option to use the app without touching the screen. Version 3.0 introduces new features based on user feedback and the inclusion of being able to use pre-recorded voice to say phrases.

London, United Kingdom - Therapy Box today is thrilled to announce the latest version of Predictable 3.0, with new features based on user feedback and the inclusion of being able to use pre-recorded voice to say phrases. The new features of Predictable enhance the sophisticated app used around the world by people with ALS, MND and cerebral palsy. The app gives people a voice, and allows people with limited physical ability the option to use the app without touching the screen.

New features that ensure efficiencies for people with physical disabilities result in the need for faster message output and less physical effort. The optimisation of the quick keys buttons means that users can avoid working through menus when they really only need one of the options. This level of customisation and flexibility is what sets Predictable apart from other text-to-speech apps on the market.

Existing users will welcome the ability to record voice for phrases or import sound files to the phrase bank - where some may choose to record the phrases while they still have voice while anticipating that they may loose their voice as the disease progresses.

The addition of copy and paste may sound a simple feature, but enables users to compile their content within Predictable while benefiting from the self-learning contextual word prediction and then utilising the text within school work or to compose more complex documents.

"Predictable 3 will set the bar for AAC apps even higher", Therapy Box director Swapnil Gadgil says, "we have listened to our customers and integrated their suggestions and ideas throughout the app."

Predictable 3 also offers the popular features of earlier versions including switch accessibility; handwriting input; social media integration and the much-lauded self-learning word prediction engine. The updates seen in Predictable 3 in English will subsequently be rolled out to the other languages including Danish, German and Swedish.

New Feature List
* Mouse cursor for easier onscreen editing
* Copy & Paste Function to enable flexible document creation
* The ability to record your own or others voices to truly personalise phrases within the app
* Option to hide the settings button to restrict accidental changes
* Multi-tasking enabled so users can quickly switch between their favourite apps and return to have the message they were compiling right where they left off
* Clear after speak - an option available for people who want to avoid having to tap delete and get on to typing their next message
* Key Hold Time Delay for enhanced control of typing for people with dexterity issues
* Speak when highlighted providing effective auditory scanning and auditory support
* Double Tap to Select used in conjunction with speak when highlighted, to provide a comprehensive auditory scanning feature
* Adjustable font size to cater to a range of needs
* Default allocation of quick keys to speed up access to favourite functions
* Favourites folder - for one tap access to the users' preferred phrases
* Messaging on iPad - integration with the iMessaging function on iPads and iPod touches to allow users to be connected
* Improvements and enhancements to popular features including facebook, email and twitter

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 599 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Predictable 3.0 is $159.99 USD (109.99 GBP) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Watermark Sense for OS X - Flexible Batch Image Watermarking - Published on 09/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VeprIT today introduces Watermark Sense 1.0.0, their new and flexible batch image watermarking utility for Mac OS X. With Watermark Sense, anyone can easily protect intellectual property, promote a brand, or simply add some useful information to many images at a time. Together with the popular batch image resizer Resize Sense (Macworld Gem 2012), the two applications constitute a very flexible and efficient web publishing solution for those who need to quickly obtain top results.

Zoetermeer, Netherlands - VeprIT, developer of image processing software for Mac and iOS devices, today is pleased to announce the immediate release of Watermark Sense 1.0.0, their new and flexible batch image watermarking utility for Mac OS X. With Watermark Sense, anyone can easily protect intellectual property, promote a brand, or simply add some useful information to many images at a time. This flexible batch image watermarking utility enables the user to achieve great creative results while saving a lot of time on repetitive tasks.

Watermark Sense supports both text and image watermarks. It gives the user a full control over the watermark appearance, offering a rich set of fine-tuning options and visual effects. For example, the user can configure the watermark opacity, choose a blending mode, apply shadow, replicate the watermark, etc. A text watermark can be generated based on the image EXIF/IPTC metadata, providing some incredible automation capabilities.

Watermark Sense enables the user to save custom watermark configurations, as well as saving settings (output file naming and format), as user presets. The user never needs to enter the same configuration twice. Using the custom presets, it is even possible to apply several watermarks to every image, or save every image multiple times with different watermarks, all in a single batch operation.

Watermark Sense provides a live preview of the final watermark. Sometimes the user might wish to have a better control over the watermark positioning than a batch configuration can offer. In those cases the user can manually position watermarks in the preview for individual images. In addition, Watermark Sense has some basic image manipulation capabilities: batch rotation, flipping, and EXIF/IPTC metadata editing.

The key Watermark Sense features:
* Flexible watermark configuration, various effects
* Custom user watermarking and saving presets
* Live preview
* Manual watermark positioning
* Batch image rotation, flipping, etc.
* Batch image metadata editing
* Watermark text generated from image metadata

Watermark Sense has a companion application, VeprIT's popular batch image resizer/cropper Resize Sense, Macworld Gem 2012. The two applications are mutually integrated to act as a single application if needed, while keeping things so simple and straightforward as possible. Together they form a flexible and efficient image processing toolset for web publishing and similar needs, for those who need to obtain top quality results quickly and easily.

System Requirements:
* Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) or later
* Requires a 64-bit Intel-based Apple computer

Pricing and Availability:
Watermark Sense 1.0.0 is currently $17.99 (USD). A trial version of Watermark Sense (which adds an additional watermark to the saved images) is freely available for download at the application web page. The license can be purchased at the application web page. Watermark Sense is also available on the Mac App Store.

Characters Spring Off the Page in New Children's App for iPad and iPhone - Published on 09/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Resin, an Australian animation and visual effects company today is breathing new life into a beloved children's book with the launch of Two Left Feet. The app, based on the book by Adam Stower, is a modern day pop-up book that uses augmented reality technology to bring existing copies of the physical book to life with 3D animation and narration. For users without the book they print the included canvas and enjoy the same 3D experience.

Adelaide, Australia - Resin, an Australian animation and visual effects company is breathing new life into a beloved children's book with the launch of Two Left Feet. The app, based on the book by Adam Stower, is a modern day pop-up book that uses augmented reality technology to bring existing copies of the physical book to life with 3D animation and narration. It is now available on the App Store for iPad(R), iPhone(R) and iPod(R).

The technology used in Two Left Feet could have a revolutionary effect on children's bookshelves as it works with existing editions of books. Parents don't need to buy a special copy.

Two Left Feet tells the story of Rufus, a monster who loves to dance despite his two left feet. It's an uplifting tale about embracing and celebrating our differences and how everyone can find their perfect match. Written and illustrated by Adam Stower, the book is aimed at children four and up and was originally published in 2004.

When users of the Two Left Feet app point their device's camera at the physical book, the characters and scenes are brought to life using 3D animation and narration on the screen, appearing as if they are in fact performing on the pages of the book. They can move their device around to explore the animation from any angle and up close providing a true 3D experience.

The app works with any existing edition of the book and users without the book can print out a special canvas to create the same effect and enjoy the full experience. It also includes a 2D mode featuring the book's original illustrations combined with narration.

The developers, an animation and visual effects company based in Adelaide, Australia, developed the idea after optioning the book, Two Left Feet. Their initial plan to translate the book into a 3D animated film was put on hold and the studio developed the concept for a new hybrid between interactive books and 3D animation to create the app. With the first book finished, they are now in discussions with publishers and authors to bring more books to life using the process they are calling boooKAPP(TM).

"Because the boooKAPP technology works with existing editions of books there is a huge potential to apply the same process to other beloved stories that are already in millions of homes" said Grant Lovering, Creative Director at Resin. "My young children were mesmerised the first time they experienced Two Left Feet. It's a new way for children and parents to experience and explore their favourite books together and use the technology in a really positive way."

"I am a huge fan of animation and when I illustrated Two Left Feet I tried to give as much movement to the characters as possible," added Adam Stower, author and illustrator of Two Left Feet. "I am very excited to see this new app breathe life into Rufus and his friends. I hope it will bring lots of extra enjoyment to fans of Two Left Feet, and introduce many new readers to Rufus too."

Two Left Feet was released August 28, 2013 on the App Store on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or at this link. It is priced at AU$5.49 / US$4.99 / 2.99 / Euro4.49.

Two days after launch it was featured in the Australian App Store in the New and Noteworthy for iPad Apps in the Book category. The app reached no.1 ranking in it's category a few days later.

AlphaDigits Top Rated Apps August 2013 - Published on 09/02/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AlphaDigits releases the list of top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. Now, it has listed five top rated mobile apps for the month of August. Apps include CaptureAudio, Injury Predictor, Weathermob, Map Camera and Benji Buddy. Enjoying the support from a handy amount of regular visitors, AlphaDigits provides reviews for iPhone, iPad and Android apps.

Long Island, New York - AlphaDigits today releases the list of top rated mobile apps every month based on the reviews published in the website during the particular month. Now, it has listed five top rated mobile apps for the month of August. Here is the list.

CaptureAudio (5/5): Whether you're looking at a pencorder, or a handheld USB recorder, you'd be better off saving your money and dropping only $0.99 on the CaptureAudio for iPhone and iPad. The app records audio, but also adds the ability to bookmark points in your audio recordings, with up to eight customizable flags for different notices, as well as a large space for text notes.

Injury Predictor (5/5): This iPhone app provides an easy way to learn playing your favorite song on guitar and impress your friends. If you have always craved to learn how to play guitar, but you never got any time to join music classes, this app would come in handy to you. As you do not require any prior understanding of musical notes and you can straight-a-way move to your favorite songs, your friends would definitely be impressed.

Weathermob (4.8/5): It is a crowdsourced app that allows members to check-in and share photos, descriptions and fun indicators of what they see out their windows - a world of weather reporters at your fingertips. Weathermob is setup with channels, much like the channels you view on TV. You could even use this app to plan a vacation at the right time of year.

Map Camera (4.8/5): With Map Camera, photographers can easily embed maps, addresses, usernames and camera settings into the image, removing the need to share that information manually, or try to remember the information themselves. Photographers switch between shutter speeds and F-stops all the time, and SeeSaw gets that it can be hard to remember which images had which settings. Enter Map Camera!

Benji Buddy (4.7/5): Parents looking for help understanding the challenges faced by high school-aged children about to transition to college should look to add Benji Buddy to their list of essentials. The app, made by Technology Ripples, LLC for the iOS platform, intends to help parents and students better understand the costs of college, as well as the potential earnings in a student's goal profession after graduation.

Joe Ellen, an editor at AlphaDigits said, "We have started providing video reviews. Our visitors can enjoy reviews with video from September."
