einstein's legacy announces Monochrome 2.0.1 update - Published on 03/24/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

einstein's legacy today announces Monochrome 2.0.1 for OS X, an application for converting batches of color images to grayscale. Monochrome gives you precise control over the conversion process and applied effects, so you can create a consistent-looking set of output images. The 2.0.1 update was re-engineered from the ground-up to provide faster GPU-based image rendering, additional conversion methods, 30 New image effects, and New options for previewing, printing and sharing images.

Charlotte, North Carolina - einstein's legacy v2.0, LLC, today is proud to announce the release of Monochrome 2.0.1 for OS X. Monochrome is an application for converting batches of color images to grayscale, giving you control over the conversion process and applied effects, so you can create a consistent-looking set of output images. The 2.0.1 update was re-engineered from the ground-up providing faster GPU-based image rendering, additional conversion methods, 30 New image effects, and New options for previewing, printing and sharing images.

"Monochrome has been completely re-engineered to be a faster and more efficient way for professionals and amateurs to process large batches of images," says einstein's legacy Chief Product Officer Douglas A. Welton. "We also added New printing, sharing and slide show features that make Monochrome a great tool for exploring image processing possibilities interactively."

Monochrome 2.0.1 includes the following key features:

* Improved Conversion (New):
Monochrome gives you the option to convert images using either an RGB or HSL-based color mixer, simple or advanced selective color desaturation, or monotone color re-mapping. All rendering is handled by the GPU to ensure fast, effective processing.

* Batch Processing (New):
Monochrome exports converted images using a background task. This allows you to continue other activities without waiting for the image processing to finish. Use the Activity Monitor to track the progress of your exports.

* Image Previews (New):
Monochrome features six modes for viewing images: original image, the converted image, two overlay modes showing both the original and converted image in the same location, and two stacked modes showing the original and converted images side-by-side.

* Sharing (New):
Monochrome can share converted images via e-mail, using popular internet services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.) or with local applications like iPhoto or Aperture. Also, you can drag'n'drop or cut'n'paste the preview image to other applications.

* Printing (New):
Monochrome provides three templates for printing your images: one image per page, an image grid contact sheet, or image slices. Print operations can also be saved as PDF files.

* Slide Shows (New):
Monochrome dynamically creates a slide show from the converted images in your project. Slide shows display full screen and can be navigated manually or as a timed slide show.

* Image Effects (New):
The rendering pipeline now includes thirty New effects, such as edge burning, X-rays, motion blurring and pixelation. For efficiency, these effects are rendered on the GPU.

* Single Window User Interface (New):
Monochrome operations have been consolidated into a single window, giving you an easy and effective tool for manipulating your images.

System Requirements
* OS X 10.8.5 or higher
* 2 MB disk space

Pricing and availability
Monochrome 2.0.1 is available for $19.99 from the Mac App Store (in the Photography category).

Boris Bot Shootem introduced for iOS - Retro Mobile Game Platformer - Published on 03/24/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Top Cool Apps today introduces Boris Bot Shootem 1.0, their new game title for iOS devices. Boris Bot is aimed at rekindling the excitement of the old and introducing young players to the unique fun and challenges of these style games. Wrongfully imprisoned by a One Armed Bandit bot with flashbacks to an old TV series, Boris Bot Shootem is locked away for a crime he didn't commit. It is up to you to help him bust out of a high security prison, travel the desert wastes, and to clear his name.

Batlow, Australia - Top Cool Apps today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Boris Bot Shootem 1.0, their nifty new game title developed exclusively for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Boris Bot is aimed at rekindling the excitement of the old and introducing young players to the unique fun and challenges of these style games.

Wrongfully imprisoned by a One Armed Bandit bot with flashbacks to an old TV series, Boris Bot Shootem is locked away for a crime he didn't commit. It is up to you to help him bust out of a high security prison, travel the desert wastes, and to clear his name. The story is told in 4 chapters. This classic game story is proven and comes with a tongue in cheek story line just like the original 'Duke Nukem'. 8 Bit style graphics have made something of a comeback lately with the likes of 'Flappy Bird' getting much attention so Boris Bot may garner some followers simply because it also has similar retro graphics.

The game features:
* Classic 8 bit graphics
* 4 challenging levels to play - 10 levels per chapter
* High resolution Retina graphics on iPad and iPhone
* Awesome soundtrack

Platform, running, jumping, shooting games were all the rage years ago. Duke Nukem (Released by Apogee) first appeared in 1991. "There are few retro platform games such as 'Duke Nukem' or 'Commander Keen' these days which is why 'Boris Bot Shootem' was created in homage to these old games so loved by many," explained Mathew Frank, game developer. "I was addicted to those old games and I have created a modern version to hopefully attract more players to the genre. This is my homage to the classic 90s platformers I always loved to play - I know you will enjoy it."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 62.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Boris Bot Shootem 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Plantific Ocean - from the mind of a 9 year old - Published on 03/24/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Recently released puzzle-based adventure app Plantific Ocean came to be as a result of one nine year old boy's idea of a fun game. It contains all the things he thought the perfect game should: tricky paths to figure out, items to craft, quirky monsters to get by, and funny animations. It's an obstacle course where you draw the path that the character, Thomas, takes from start to finish. You also craft the objects he needs to counter the various obstacles he encounters along the way.

Alingsas, Sweden - In 2011 the owners of IT consultant company E-leet Solutions, Aaron and sa Bertsch, started talking about making an app. Being avid gamers themselves they wanted to make a game app. Ideas were discussed back and forth at the dinner table. Their two children, who also play games, took an immediate interest in their parents' new project, and it wasn't long before their (at the time) nine year old son brought them a bunch of drawings he had made of a game he called Plantific Ocean.

"When he first brought us the drawings we weren't sure what to expect", says app developer Aaron Bertsch, "but we've always known he's very creative, and what he brought us was just brilliant in its simplicity. As a game it was easily recognizable and yet completely unique. We thought it was a great idea."

The finished game has kept the original name, Plantific Ocean, but has a few added features. It's an obstacle course where you draw the path that the character, Thomas, takes from start to finish. You also craft the objects he needs to counter the various obstacles he encounters along the way. Because the different paths you build also use up resources, it is important to manage your resources and choose the path that allows you to build the road as well as the objects you need to complete the course.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 40.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Plantific Ocean 1.0.0 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category, with the option of purchasing additional map packs. A number of free map packs will be released each year, as well as more in-app purchase map packs of various themes. Initially the app will only be available for iPad and iPhone, but is planned to eventually be released for Windows Phone and Android as well.

CallFreeCalls releases the next version of their app for iOS devices - Published on 03/24/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

An Incredibly Convenient Tool for Free SMS and Calls! CallsFreeCalls is a fantastic application allowing you to call any number independently of its location. It is a completely free VoIP messenger and free SMS online service available for everyone. Costs of these calls and texts are paid monthly by sponsors and are represented as bonuses customers can spend on calling and texting free of charge. The new 3.1 version of iOS app was released recently, offering even more features and benefits.

Miami, Florida - Having iOS device means having the best and requests using the best software available. The best is not always the most expensive, yet certainly is the most cost-efficient. Therefore, using CallsFreeCalls tool to call worldwide free is definitely the best solution. The new 3.1 version of iOS app was released recently, offering even more features and benefits.

What does calling worldwide free mean? This means exactly what it seems - any CallsFreeCalls customer can call or text any phone number in more than 140 countries worldwide without spending any money! Sounds too good to be true? Let's take a closer look.

CallsFreeCalls uses bonuses system for phone payments. Sponsors place their offers and pay some sum of money, which is represented by some amount of bonuses. Customers can earn these bonuses by completing sponsorship offers. Bonuses can later be spent on free calling and texting worldwide. Therefore, customers do not spend their money; they only spend some of their free time.

Really, why not completing some offers while travelling on a train, going home after school on a bus, waiting in a traffic jam or whenever you have some free time? Instead of shooting birds or running between trains you can spend your time earning bonuses for future use and saving your money!

The offers are multiple, the most common are:
* Viewing some ads
* Answering polls and queues
* Downloading different useful and entertaining apps for your iOS device

Sponsors' list is vast and their offers are updated regularly, so users can earn bonuses the way they want. To say more, CallsFreeCalls regularly holds different events and rewards winners with decent amounts of bonuses. To say even more, internal texting inside CallsFreeCalls network does not even spend bonuses, saving a ton of money for families and companies, friends and colleagues.

What is new in this release?
CallsFreeCalls uses top-notch achievements of communication technologies, allowing their users to stay in touch literally anywhere if there is at least 8Kbit/sec Wi-Fi coverage (other operators require at least 32 or even 64). Therefore, CallsFreeCalls is light years ahead the competition, offering a quality of services other VoIP messenger operators cannot achieve nowadays.

However, there always is room for improvement. One of the most important sources of ideas for development is customers' feedback. For example, default violet color did not look nice with certain cases of iPhones. After receiving requests to add several color schemes, CallsFreeCalls responded with a revolutionary solution - they made their app fully customizable, so each user can select the color fitting his style best and adjust all other profile settings to their liking!

New release of CallsFreeCalls app for iOS devices provides such features:
* Increased list of sponsorship offers
* Updated partnership window interface
* Improved performance, especially in bad connection areas
* Several minor bug fixes

CallsFreeCalls does their best to meet and exceed customers' expectations. New updates are to come soon, offering even more convenient and useful features. Stay with us or join us if you are not our customer yet, use multiple benefits our service has to offer and remember: "Together we unite the continents!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 33.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
CFC - Free International Calls and SMS Texting via Internet 3.1 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Social Networking category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

All BCC effects and presets can now be viewed in the new FX Browser(TM) window, which is integrated into every BCC filter or transition.

"Tools to create grungy, organic looks have been sorely missing in Adobe After Effects. The new BCC Grunge effect includes everything I need to create a "beautiful mess" in my broadcast graphics projects," comments John Dickinson of MotionWorks.

"The BCC 9 FX Browser(TM) raises the bar for effect selection and previewing ," says Kevin P. McAuliffe of MIJO International. "With time-accurate motion video preview of every effect, selecting the right look is a breeze."

Boris Continuum Complete gives editors and visual artists the most comprehensive VFX plug-in suite ever created. An expansive 200 filter collection includes 3D Objects, 3D particle effects, image restoration tools, lens flares and lights, keys and mattes, warp and perspective effects, and blurs, glows, and cinematic effects. All filters take advantage of either Open CL, NVIDIA CUDA, multi-threading or OpenGL hardware acceleration for an interactive effects design experience.

Over 1,000 professionally designed presets are included free with every installation of BCC. All presets can be viewed in the new FX Browser(TM) window. Custom presets can be saved and shared among teams within the same organization or across the globe. Both static and animated BCC presets are supported in After Effects and Avid platforms. BCC is the only plug-in collection that allows easy VFX migration between Adobe, Avid, and Apple video editing software via Boris Transfer, which keeps parameters and key frame information intact.

"During BCC 9 development, our team was tasked with creating the best effects browser," states Boris Yamnitsky, Founder and CEO of Boris FX. "The FX Browser(TM) is capable of not only previewing presets of the current filter, but also across the entire library, saving customers many frustrating trial and error steps. It shows the effects in full motion over video from the host timeline."

Highlights:
* Stylize Group - BCC Grunge is packed with photo-realistic materials and textures and gives the user unlimited creative control over dirt, dust, bumpiness, and scratches; BCC Edge Grunge gives standard text or logos the etched look of real objects.
* Film Group - BCC Vignette mimics the soft feel of a camera lens projected on screen with added luminosity and defocus controls; BCC Two Strip Process is a one-stop solution for the highly saturated retro look of Hollywood's first color films.
* Image Restoration Group - BCC Magic Sharp restores perfect contrast and makes blurry footage look its best; BCC Lens Correction is specifically tuned to remove fish-eye distortion - a must-have for a GoPro enthusiast.
* Keying and Composite Group - BCC Chromakey Studio combines Boris FX's award-winning Chroma Key process into one new convenient filter that provides users with every pre/post green screen composite tool needed.
* Lights Group - BCC Laser Beam creates beams of light or strobing backgrounds in 3D space and includes a smoke/fog parameter that reacts to the beam as it is animated through 3D space. The filter uses AE's built-in 3D lights and cameras in Adobe After Effects. Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid use built-in 3D lights and cameras created by Boris FX.
* Perspective Group - BCC Pan and Zoom can now rotate images in 3D and offers cropping and other adjustment options.
* Transition Group - 20 new transitional effects bring the total number of transitions to over thirty. The new transitions are:
* Blobs Wipe, Grid Wipe, Rings Wipe, Blur Dissolve, Lens Distortion Wipe, Ripple Dissolve, Bright Flash Dissolve, Lens Flare Dissolve, Tile Wipe, Checkers WipeLens Flare Spiked, Toner Dissolve, Composite Dissolve, Lens Flash Round,Twister, Damaged TV Dissolve, Light Wipe, Vector Blur Dissolve, Film Glow Dissolve, Rays Dissolve, Vignette Dissolve, Flutter Cut,Ribbon Wipe,Water Waves Dissolve
* FX Browser(TM) is integrated with each BCC 9 filter or transition. In addition, a special BCC FX Browser(TM) filter is available for browsing the entire BCC effects library.
* Open CL and NVIDIA CUDA Acceleration. BCC 9 leapfrogs past technologies with cross-platform NVIDIA GPU acceleration for all compatible graphics cards. Popular filters such as Lens Blur, Film Glow or Film Process render 2X faster than before.
