Altered States

Article Abstract:

Letraset's Image Studio allows desktop publishers to retouch images using gray-scale editing tools. The $495 Apple Macintosh program requires a 1Mbyte hard disk (gray-scale monitor and extended video memory recommended) and can repair, manipulate, and combine photos, then save the final image and import it into the page layout. The program offers excellent paint, filtering, zoom and grabber tools and makes it possible for a user to customize a tool's function. The program does have some problems. It does not automatically scroll, users lose some control when they rotate an object, and only one file can be opened at time. Despite these minor flaws, it it a useful and exciting program that offers solid practicality and opportunities for creative expression.
