Easy Imager is a powerful application that makes it easy to display, manage, and batch-process images in all popular formats, and produce photo albums to suit every browser. Other photo album programs limit you to setting display sizes that may not suit other users' Web browser settings: Easy Imager's integrated Zoomify technology does away with squinting at tiny images or scrolling around oversized pictures by displaying high-resolution images automatically scaled to the user's browser window.
Easy Imager's elegant interface makes it a snap to find your images and select them for processing individually, in batches or in whole folders using a thumbnail-based file selector. You can use slider controls to rotate images and adjust their contrast, brightness, color, sharpness, and quality, and check out the results with a convenient built-in viewer.
If you're a digital-photography enthusiast, you'll appreciate features like one-click picture rotation, image sharpening in batches, date-stamping images, and reducing picture sizes for the Web or email. You can also create professional-looking digital photo albums complete with thumbnail indexes in minutes, using a wide variety of options to control their appearance. If you create a Zoomify album for the Web you'll no longer need to scale down your photos: your site visitors will be able to see them at their best without making large downloads.
Easy Imager also provides tools to convert images to other file formats, print text on pictures, capture screen shots, import pictures from TWAIN devices and the Clipboard, change your Desktop Wallpaper, search for images, and associate text descriptions with pictures.
You can configure the program extensively to suit the way you work: you can customize the toolbar to include your most-used tools, assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menu items, and set numerous preferences for the handy Live Spelling feature.

Silhouette is a plugin for Adobe Illustrator 8, 9 and 10 to convert bitmap images to vectors images with unique correction tools.
It instantly converts black and white or colour bitmap images into vector designs ready for use. Graphic artists are faced every day with the problem of having to redesign logos or illustrations because the files they have to use are less than perfect (faxes, visiting cards, low definition files) or the original fonts have gone missing.
Unique correction tools:
* righting a logo so it is perfectly horizontal: a logo is never perfectly aligned in a scanner.
* sharpening corners: these are very often rounded or truncated and amending this in a standard program can be a very time-consuming operation.
* suppressing unnecessary points: simplifying outlines and streamlining the touching up process, thereby saving time.
* converting "flat curves" into straight lines: an enlarged flat curve always reveals defects.
* aligning segments on the same axis: all logo base lines or letters aligned in one fell swoop.
* smoothing tangents: when two curves are not tangent they create bumps that affect the harmony. Detecting them and correcting them can be quite a chore with standard programs.
* suppressing unnecessary points in curves whilst retaining their shape: curves will have an optimum number of points and will be quite straightforward to manipulate.
The smartest way from bitmap to vectors!
Silhouette is available for Windows and Macintosh.

The perfect companion software to the following publications:
The Omega-3 Connection: The Groundbreaking Anti-depression Diet and Brain Program by Andrew L. Stoll, M.D., Director of the Psychopharmacology Research Lab at Boston's McLean Hospital and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School
The Omega Plan: The Medically Proven Diet That Restores Your Body's Essential Nutritional Balance by Artemis Simopoulos, M.D., nutritional adviser to the Office of Consumer Affairs at the White House.
Excerpts from Amazon.com's Editorial Reviews of the Omega-3 Connection:
"Stoll suggests that restoring our body's natural balance of omega-3s may help alleviate (and prevent) many types of depression--even for those who don't respond to traditional antidepressants. Omega-3s may also prove helpful with other problems, such as the inability to handle stress, memory loss, and cognitive decline.
A must-read for anyone dealing with depression, The Omega-3 Connection by Andrew L. Stoll, M.D., strikes yet another blow against the standard American diet. We already know that years of noshing on highly processed foods have saddled us with sky-high rates of heart disease, obesity, and related conditions. But, as we're starting to understand now, our eating habits may also be subtly altering our brain chemistry, leaving us vulnerable to anxiety disorders and depression. Only in this case, it's not just what we're eating--it's what we're not eating: foods containing omega-3 essential fatty acids--the 'good fats' that help maintain optimal brain function.
Stoll found that Omega-3 acids, already known for their importance in preventing heart disease and cancer, play a crucial role in mental health -- regulating and enhancing mood, sharpening memory, and even aiding concentration and learning. This substance, so essential to our health is often depleted by our Western diet and lifestyle.

Children in years past have always practiced their basic mathematics by using flash cards. This learning methodology is highly effective in sharpening children's computational capacity but lacks dynamic feedback. Flash Math duplicates the positive aspect of flash cards and provides dynamic feedback. Also, Flash Math scales problems according to children's proficiency so that they are not frustrated by difficult problems or unchallenged by less intricate equations. The problems presented are for children in grades first through third in a standard US school curriculum.

The AWC is designed to do one thing well: allow you to automatically change your desktop wallpaper on a timed basis. The time between changes is defined as a number of seconds, minutes or hours.
The displayed image can be stretched or shrunk for the best fit to the screen, optionally maintaining its aspect ratio, or displayed at its actual size. When displaying a picture the user is not limited to the centre of the screen, as is usually the case in windows, but can choose to display it in any of the four corners of the screen or centred on one of the edges. Additionally you can specify that files smaller than a predefined size should be tiled: again you can specify how the tiles are justified on the screen rather than simply going from the top left.
Resizing is performed using bilinear resampling for the best possible reults. After resizing you can apply various levels of sharpening to further improve image quality.
You can further refine the list of files to display by filtering on file date or age and by file name. For example all files whose name begins 'XMAS' which you've created in the past 30 days.
The AWC is minimised to the system tray rather than to the task bar. To restore it to view just double-click the icon in the tray or right click to pop up a menu.
There's even a full set of command line switches so you can customise multiple shortcuts.
Image formats supported are *.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.bmp;*.png;*.rle;*.tga;*.pcx.
