Web and Animation
• Web Image Slices, Image Maps, Rollover States
Beat the pros at their own game by using these techniques to add links
to your Web graphics! With a few clicks, divide images into
segments—each with its own hyperlink and popup text—or add
hotspots to specific regions. Even let DrawPlus create interactive
rollover Web graphics that highlight or change state when users mouse
over or click!
• Stopframe Animation
Tap the power of QuickShapes to turn out Web stopframe animations
in no time—using advanced features like onion skinning,
backgrounds, overlays, and frame management.
• Keyframe Animation
Produce smooth, professional and quick-to-design animations as
Adobe® Flash® files, all from within the Storyboard tab. The Easing tab
defines editable envelope profiles for defining the rate of change of an
object's transformation and attributes. The Actions tab can assign
"events" (mouse click, hover over, and many more) and an associated
action (e.g., jump to a named URL or animation marker); develop
directly in ActionScript for the more adventurous! Use the Keyframe
Camera to pan, zoom, or rotate around your animation's keyframes.
Add sound and movies to any Keyframe animation. Export to Flash,
Flash Lite/i-Mode, screensaver or a choice of video formats.
Export and Print
• Image Export
Image Export lets you see how your image will look (and how much
space it will take up) before you save it! Its multi-window display
provides side-by-side WYSIWYG previews of image quality at various
output settings, so you can make the best choice every time. Take
advantage of super sampling for superior quality export. Use Dynamic
Preview to work in an edit-and-preview mode at a given DPI, file
format, and number of colours.
