Press Release:

Luxology LLC, an independent technology company developing modern 3D content creation software, today announced the immediate availability of imageSynthT 2, the newest version its popular image processing tool. Featuring up to ten times faster performance, imageSynth 2 allows artists to quickly process existing images into new seamless textures, synthetic images and backgrounds, and generate super high-resolution images from low resolution sources. imageSynth 2 is now available in both a standalone version and as a plug-in for Adobe Creative Suite 4.

"imageSynth has become a favorite plug-in for the Photoshop community due to its ease of use and the smooth - almost magical - results users get when processing input images," said Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. "imageSynth 2 is a real workhorse - processing even print resolution images into new, tile-able images at amazing speed."

"Since its creation, there has been no substitute for imageSynth - it fills an essential need for game developers and DTP professionals alike," said Gary Bouton, noted PhotoShop author and artist. "There's no other Photoshop plug-in that even comes close for manually building high-resolution seamless tiling textures."

The imageSynth software allows users to quickly create a new synthetic image based on areas of interest that are identified in one or more source images. imageSynth can handle a wide range of image subjects, and is especially useful when working with 'noisy' images such as crowds or beach pebbles. The royalty-free images that imageSynth creates are unique derivations and will tile together seamlessly, making them ideal for use as backgrounds, brushes or texture maps.

New and improved features in imageSynth 2 include:

• Native performance improvements will process images up to 10 times faster than previous version
• New algorithm is threaded for use on dual-core systems
• Improved memory management enables handling of larger scenes
• New control over chunk size and orientation
