ImageVice(tm) 2.0 - Released March 28, 1999

ImageVice(tm) is an editor's choice award-winning color reduction filter for
Adobe Photoshop presenting designers with a new technology that enables common
multimedia format files, such as GIF, PICT, BMP, and PNG, to be made up to 70%
smaller than previously possible.

ImageVice(tm) provides powerful and flexible color reduction for the best
possible compression and the best possible image quality in multimedia images.

"Let me say that I LOVE ImageVice. Talk about speed savings. I smashed a banner
from 13k to 3k with no quality loss! I swoon. I've even had some graphics come
out measured in bytes. I swoon again!" - Raquel Stewart

"Just had the chance to put your new ImageVice demo through it's paces. AWESOME!!
ImageVice did a better job of dithering the colors and reducing palette size than
I had been able to manually editing the color table, and in less time." - Bill
Martin

"I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for ImageVice.  It is truly a godsend.
I've already used it on all of the images on our web site and it has dramatically
decreased the load time.  The images were all about 50% smaller that the original
gifs." - Daniel Blackburn
