ART DEPARTMENT PROFESSIONAL 2.5 PREVIEW
               ---------------------------------------
                  "Image Processing Power Made Easy"
 
 
Welcome  to  the Art Department Professional (ADPro) 2.5 preview pack.
This archive contains the following:
 
ReadMe.txt
	This  file,  which describes the contents of the preview pack,
	and some general information about ADPro 2.5.
 
ADPro25PressRelease.txt
	The ADPro 2.5 press release.
 
ADPro25Main.ilbm
	A  screen  shot  of  ADPro 2.5 running on a 16 color Workbench
	screen.   ADPro  is  in  its  Button  interface mode, with the
	floating ("tear-off") Loaders and Operators list windows open.
	Rendering   is  to  a  draggable,  scrollable  window  on  the
	Workbench screen.  The Display menu's commands are shown.
 
ADPro25FRED.ilbm
	ADPro  running  on  the  FRED  public  screen; notice ADPro in
	minimized mode on FRED's screen title bar.  FRED is processing
	a  sequence of images, performing the listed operations on it.
	At  this  point, the RenderAsDefined.fred script is asking for
	the render mode to use.  The script is using the unique screen
	mode  requester  in ADPro to query the user for a render mode.
 
	ADPro's  screen  mode  requester  also lists display modes for
	EGS,  FireCracker 24, OpalVision, Picasso, Retina, and windows
	on  currently  open  public screens in the same form as normal
	Amiga display database modes.
 
ADPro25Scale.ilbm
	ADPro (in List interface mode, with the User Commands tear-off
	open)   running   on   a   custom   (public)  screen  using  a
	proportional  font.   The revised Scale operator (also showing
	the font-sensitivity new to ADPro 2.5) is open.
 
	Notice  how  you  can  now  enter  a  pixel  aspect, switch to
	specific  proportions  with  the  50%,  100%,  and 200% preset
	buttons,  and  perform  enlargement  and reduction at the same
	time.   The  new  Lock Aspect checkbox allows you to lock to a
	specific  pixel  aspect,  change  one  dimension, and have the
	other  dimension  automatically  update to preserve the locked
	aspect.
 
ADPro25Comp.ilbm
	ADPro's  new compositing control screen, a visual screen whose
	screen  mode  (along  with  the  other  visual modules' screen
	modes)  can  be  customized.   Notice that transparency can be
	selected  as  a range of RGB colors, in addition to a specific
	color.   Also  notice  the  centralized alpha channel blending
	controls.
