“This project addresses the special case of selecting inks for duotone printing, a relatively inexpensive process in which just two inks are used. Traditional duotone printing almost always uses black as one of the two inks. The resulting reproduction is an ‘enhanced grayscale’ image: a grayscale image with a hint of the chosen accent color. We would like to use duotone printing to achieve full color reproduction. Our system takes an image as input and allows the user to select 0, 1, or 2 inks. The output consists of the remaining inks or inks that will best reproduce the image as a duotone and the appropriate color separations.”

With the unveiling of the Symbian consortium’s Quartz devices at the CeBIT computer show in Germany this week, analysts say current handheld devices, such as the Palm, face competition from a new breed of integrated handheld device that packs telephony, streaming multimedia, Web browsing and Palm-like computing.”

“Here’s a list covering every keystroke and modifier available to Photoshop 5, a whopping 400 in all! And for the second edition running, I’ve done something you won’t find in any other book. I’ve created a table that tells you both the old Photoshop 4 keyboard shortcut and the new Photoshop 5 equivalent. If the shortcut is new to Version 5 — as nearly 25 percent them are — I’ve indicated it in bold type so you can more quickly scan the list.”

“Jeff Dachis’ digital media company in New York’s Silicon Alley is full of fish. Although the moniker is just a nickname for Razorfish’s 1,300 employees, chief executive Dachis is somewhat of a shark, running a company that was an early mover in a market now swimming with me-too IPOs. Since quitting a job as a waiter at a hip Tribeca diner, Dachis has built a firm worth more than $4 billion, boasting big-name clients such as Schwab, CBS, NBC and high-speed Net access firm Road Runner. And what’s more, the firm is profitable, grabbing some $2.1 million during the first nine months of 1999.”
