QPix 3.5.3

QPix 3.5.3 is known as a powerful imaging plug-in for cross-platform image-rich 4th Dimension databases that  provides the quality and dependability that 4D developers need and appreciate in today's competitive business environment.

Major Features:

1. Import formats:
   
   • Read all file formats supported by QuickTime, such as JPEG, GIF, TIFF, JPEG-2000 PICT, PNG, Photoshop, and more.
   •  Support for multi-page PDF (native on MasOS X, with AFPL Ghostscript on Windows) is added through custom components developed by Escape, as well as support for Kodak PhotoCD and Scitex CT.
2. Image acquisition:
   •  Acquire photos and video clips from digicams (videos on MacOS X only), captures from webcams and camcorders, as well as traditional scanning using a wide range of personal or high-end document scanners with Automatic Document Feeder, Transparency and Duplex options.
   •  QPix supports acquisition using PTP (Mac OS X Image Capture, Windows Image Acquisition - WIA), TWAIN, QuickTime Video Grabbing (MacOS) and Windows Video (Windows).
3. Image transformations: Rotate, zoom, flip, select rectangular part, crop, set scroll offsets.
   • Apply filters to images (see "Filters" below).
   • Lossless rotation, flipping and mirroring of JPEG images without opening the file (JPEG transcoding).
   • Multi-page TIFF/PDF generation
   •   Combine a series of source image files or 4D pictures into a multi-page TIFF or PDF file. Works natively on MacOS X; on Windows APFL GhostScript is required.
4. Multi-page TIFF/PDF generation turns scanned pages into electronic documents that can be efficiently stored, distributed and visualized using a QPix area as document viewer.
5. Metadata: Read TIFF, Exif, GPS, IPTC, and QuickTime metadata tags.
6. Information:
   •  General info: height, width, color depth, horz/vert resolution
   • Frame type: page, resolution, layer, thumbnail.
   • Color info: color space, color profile.
   • Compressed picture info: codec used, depth, quality.
7. Thumbnails
   • Extract embedded thumnails from EXIF/JPEG and TIFF.
   • Create high-quality thumbnails (using bicubic interpolation).
8. Export formats: Export towards all file formats supported by QuickTime exporters, such as JPEG, TIFF, PICT, PNG, JPEG 2000, and more.
9. Filters: Supports all installed QuickTime filters applicable to still images, including brightness/contrast, sharpen, blur, RGB and HSL balance, and many more.
10. Plug-in area features  
    • Customizable area style (scrollable, various fixed styles)
    • Codeless area setup with Advanced Properties Dialog
    • Widgets: area tools, zoom, multi-page navigation
    • Tools: pointer, hand, marquee, zoom.
    • Support for 4D's drag and drop
    • Proportional scrollbars and live scrolling
    • Area menu bar with common functions

Requirements:

• 4D 2004.7 and v11.3 or later
• MacOS 10.4x or later 
• Windows XP/Vista.
