Description:
DeBabelizer for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide provides a good introduction to DeBabelizer (Pro 4.5 for Windows and Version 3 for Macintosh), the highly popular image-processing tool. Descriptive usage tips and helpful screen shots assist you in working through each of the program's main features. DeBabelizer works well whether you read it in chapter-to-chapter succession or jump around among the topics that interest you. The book begins with the basics of DeBabelizer, including a tour of the interface, help options, and printing tools. Next, by working with the supported media--images, animation, and video--you learn to create, manipulate, and save in these formats. In the section devoted to color, you study palette basics and learn how to modify palettes; create and work with SuperPalettes; and manipulate colors via brightness, intensity, gamma, and other controls. A four-color section helps illuminate some the theory associated with the palette tools. In the fourth section of the book, the author discusses batch processing, which is used to create and manage BatchLists and set batching actions. Later in the book, you learn to automate your activities with scripts. The appendices at the back of the book help you install DeBabelizer; set global, reader, and writer preferences; and use keyboard and toolbar icon shortcuts. --Kathleen Caster
