Pixel!VIEW

Responsive and flexible image viewing interface

Pixel!VIEW enables you to view, format and display all types of image data. With its extensive support of import and export file formats, Pixel!VIEW is the premier tool for converting images from one format to another, and for moving images among applications.

Pixel!VIEW includes an Image Album that displays thumbnail icons of all images contained in a directory. You can easily drag images from one Album and drop them into another. To open any image, simply click on the thumbnail. Additionally, you can drag an image thumbnail over a toolbar icon to instantly execute a command!

This member of the Pixel!FX Deluxe family of integrated imaging products has application in a wide variety of markets: Desktop Publishing; Document Imaging; GIS; Scientific & Technical Applications; Office Automation; Web Page Authoring; Manufacturing; Medical; Educational; and Federal, State & Local Government. It has been designed to operate efficiently on all popular UNIX platforms. Displays supported include most monochrome, grayscale, 8-bit or 24-bit color display controllers.

It offers an icon-based user interface that includes complete point-and-click functionality. The use of tear-off menus and icon toolbars allows you to customize your display. Extensive drag-and-drop support gives you intuitive control of powerful image manipulation operations.

It also provides unprecedented speed and performance in the most demanding image processing environments. The result is increased user productivity with less time spent waiting for display refreshes and file saves.
