Claris Home Page 3.0
Article Abstract:
FileMaker's $99 Claris Home Page 3.0 Web authoring software enhances what was already strong table-creation features with the ability to select multiple table cells and apply such attributes as background color and cell and row alignment automatically. Background images can now be applied to tables and cells, and a table can be created by dragging a tab-delimited text file into the package. The contents of frames can now be viewed while working on a frame set, but individual HTML pages still cannot be edited from within the frame set, and frame sets cannot be nested. Plug-ins can be embedded, but they do not show in the preview and they do not autosize on import the way graphics do. The Site Editor tool has been added to the new version of Home Page to check for missing graphics and broken links within a site. Home Page 3.0 is easy enough to use for Web amateurs, but it also serves as a low-cost prototyping tool for Web professionals.

Multimedia the XPress way
Article Abstract:
Quark Inc, which publishes QuarkXPress, a leading layout program, is working on a multimedia product called QuarkImmedia. The new software is meant to ease users into multimedia authoring and online publishing while maintaining a friendly, familiar XPress environment. Immedia approaches multimedia from a page designer's point of view. Screens are called pages, and designs can be constructed in terms of layout grids, columns and master pages. A participant in Quark's Early Adopter program is pleased, saying moving to multimedia has been an easy, natural transition. Another Early Adopter says users who know XPress already know 75 percent of what they need to know for using Immedia. QuarkImmedia is expected in summer 1996. It will cost $995.

Morph
Article Abstract:
Gryph Software Corp's $149 Morph image processing software for Macintosh allows users to transform one image into another as was done with faces in Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' video. The two images must be 72 dots-per-inch (dpi), the same size and in PICT format. Users put Key Points in corresponding places on the images, the number and placement determining how smooth the morph will be. Users can make an intermediate PICT image or series of images, or a QuickTime movie of the change. Morphing can be used in a presentation in place of a wipe, dissolve or jump cut. Users may be inclined to use Morph in a standard or pointless way but can develop solid, innovative uses if they use their imagination.
