Photo Tools is an iPhoto compatible solution that combines PhotoXtra, PhotoFix and PrintmiX, making a complete package for organising, storing, editing and printing your digital images.

With PhotoXtra, you are able to store, organise and present digital files and data collected from digital cameras, scanners, websites, CD-ROMs and other sources. Files can then be shared as a slideshow. Unlike many similar applications, PhotoXtra is able to collect and store sound providing background music, narration or other sounds to enhance your presentation.

PhotoFix is an easy-to-use editing program that has tools and palettes that allow retouching, masking, cloning, airbrushing and more to enhance images and produce artwork with professional results. With its compatibility to iPhoto™, simply double-click the image to open in PhotoFix for editing and retouching.

PrintmiX allows you to select, arrange and print your images on a single sheet of paper. Images from iPhoto™ or other files can be dragged and dropped directly into portrait or landscape panes together on a single layout page. After placing the images into the various panes on the layout template, the selection can be printed on a single sheet of paper. Microspot PrintmiX saves time as well as money and can be used together with Apple iPhoto™ to provide a variety of new layouts that are quick and easy to create.

Tools Plus Pro 5.0 is described as an easy-to-use yet useful software that can allow you to create professional looking applications and plug-ins. With a single line of code, you can create virtually any user interface element: from a picture button, pop-up menu or list box, to a complex dialog with numerous elements. Once you create something, it works!

And all elements automatically interact with each in precisely the manner that Macintosh applications should. All this means less coding. Much less coding. Often to the tune of tens of thousands lines less! Dubbed the "transparent framework," Tools Plus libraries dramatically increase your productivity. They're "more compact and faster than anything you might write" (says MacTech magazine).

And Tools Plus provides professional-level services without an imposing architecture. Windows drag. Buttons click. Pop-up menus pop. The Edit menu edits. Scroll bars scroll. Create it, and it works.

ASCII Tools Pro 1.0 is a program including a table for developers to convert a character to it's ASCII value in decimal and in hexadecimal. ASCII Tools Pro's table contains character, decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary values plus HTML Entities and keyboard combinations.

In the "Convert" tab, you can enter the character value in any format (i.e. binary, octal, etc.) and ASCII Tools Pro will display all of the other formats for that character.

The "Extract" tab allows you to load a file and extract the ASCII values by selecting a character in the file.

Last, but not least, the "Format" tab gives developers amazing power to clean up and format text. To use this feature, developers select the text in the edit field that they want to modify and select one of the "Actions" in the Actions table. Actions are open source scripts from Trinfinity Software, written in RBScript, that can be used with multiple applications. There are currently over one hundred Actions included with ASCII Tools Pro and there are many more to come. If you can't find an action to accomplish what you want, you can write one yourself.
