Pixel!EDIT provides a complete set of image
retouch, image processing and special effects tools.
An unlimited number of undos/redos lets you enjoy
unsurpassed creative opportunities -- without the
penalty of starting over if the wrong effect is applied.
Unlike other applications, Pixel!EDIT enables
you to work simultaneously on multiple images in multiple
windows. You can combine, retouch and resize images
through an intuitive interface that serves as an extension
of your imagination. In addition, all image transformation
and filter commands are incorporated into tear-off
menus for exceptional ease of use.
Pixel!EDIT includes an image stitching feature
that enables you to assemble multiple images that
are scanned independently into one composite image.
You can scan in sections of images that are larger
than your scan bed and stitch them together to easily
reconstruct the original image on your workstation.
And with the graphic annotation tools, you can add
lines, circles, polygons and text to your image, and
either save them apart from the image or burn them
into the image.
