Today VanDerLee™ releases the latest version of their UnPlugged™-X™ plug-in which aims to fix this problem. UnPlugged-X is a collection of over 100 filter effects combined into a single window. By putting all those effects together, you gain advantages not possible if the effects would ... http://www.vanderlee.com/news.html?news=20070718_01_upx2168.html http://www.vanderlee.com/news.html?news=20070718_01_upx2168.html Graphics Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:00:00 -0400 All plug-ins updated for improved Vista compatibility MicroSoft™ Windows™ Vista introduced a number of incompatibilities with our range of plug-ins.

The upgrade also includes changes to increase performance and quality of output. Custom shapes can be provided as Windows™ bitmap (.BMP) images. Shapes can be of any size and may include partially transparent areas. They can be rotated and scaled like the shapes generated by Halftone™ itself.

UnPlugged-X now sports an intuitive interface and allows you to combine up to 50 filters in a stack. This new version is not backwards compatible with files saved from the previous version of UnPlugged-X.

As ever, previous settings are not disturbed by this additional option, but all graphic professionals working on such images should find the option of great value. There's also been some talk about why Halftone doesn't support bitmap mode; the reason is simple; Halftone requires intensi... http://www.vanderlee.com/news.html?news=ht120.html http://www.vanderlee.com/news.html?news=ht120.html Graphics Mon, 30 Dec 2002 13:00:00 -0500 This time a contribution by Douglas Lang of Australia with the very well drawn Rail tileset.
