GoLive CyberStudio 2
Article Abstract:
GoLive Systems' $349 GoLive CyberStudio overcomes the limitations of conventional WYSIWYG Web-page design tools while providing ease of use. It offers a powerful WYSIWYG environment for page design while giving the user direct access to underlying HTML code. Users can take either a top-down approach, defining site structure first and then creating page content, or a bottom-up approach, building pages and later organizing them into a site. Graphic objects can be added to a page by dragging and dropping. There is a context-sensitive Inspector window for controlling object properties, letting the user quickly view and edit the parameters of any element. Control over text, graphic and multimedia placement is pixel-precise, and version 2.0 allows previewing of multimedia content such as Java applets and QuickTIme movies. Expert users can define custom interfaces that accommodate new plug-ins. CyberStudio is complex and takes some time to learn, and there is no database connectivity or dynamic HTML support.

Separation Lab 1.0
Article Abstract:
Radius's $349 Separation Lab 1.0 color management software has adopted an innovative approach to print profiling. The software allows the users to make custom print profiles by altering a database created from tens of thousands of previously recorded color-patch measurements. Radius has profiled the characteristics of around a dozen popular ink models, including Fuji ColorArt, Matchprint, and coated and uncoated sheet-fed SWOP (Specifications for Web-Offset Printing). The majority of profiling packages utilize 80 to 300 patch measurements to build a profile. Radius's print target has over 1,300 patches, and it measures numerous samples from each device to optimize the accuracy of the color information. Separation Lab allows the user to build a custom print profile by opening an existing ink model then fine-tuning it by stating the parameters.

High-profile color: new software lets you discover your system's unique color identity
Article Abstract:
A buyer's guide lists color-management systems based on International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles. An ICC profile describes a particular device's color-rendering abilities, for a printer, monitor, scanner or digital camera. It defines a device's range of color and how it distorts it. The profiles work in tandem with two other components, the engine, and the application programs. The workflow generally consists of comparing the values of measured color against reference values. ICC-compliant profilers are reviewed for their input and display, proof and print profiles. A section describing how to use the new profiles is included.
