`Personal Multimedia
`

`
`computer power to individuals? People used PCs to create their own word

`and is aimed specifically at people trying to create
`top publishing applications and fonts and graphics in
`documents. Suddenly anyone could create profes-
`graphics for a Web site. You’d likely start with a
`photograph or clip-art image, but ImageStyler makes
`sional-looking documents
`it very easy to create your own logos. graphics de-
`The same thing is happening now in multimedia
`signs, and even Web buttons by applying predefined
`applications, with software designed to let almost
`styles to your image. You can easily mix and match
`anyone create fancy graphics and even music. Such
`colors, textures, shading, and 3-D effects to create a

`some time. Most of the publications and graphics you

`that you can change them all at once, giving your site

`a consistent look. You can even attach things like

`specific HTML commands or roll-over text that pops

`rather difficult.
`For those who want to get even more sophisticat-
`ed, Macromedia Firewprks offers a vast array of
`higher-end tools packaged in a way
`that even those of us who aren’t de—
`
`On the other side of the spectrum, there are many
`template-driven and clip-art style pro-
`grams that let you create graphics pret-
`ty easily but are aimed at home users
`Nowadays, many 0f us are creating
`our own Web sites and publications,
`and we want something unique but still
`professional looking. For those of us
`who aren tprosthis can be a challenge.
`I recently met with a number of my
`colleagues to discuss some of the best
`software we’ve seen in the past year.
`The trend is clear: Many of the best
`programs are now trying to use the
`power of the PC to make it easier for anyone to cre-
`ate great multimedia elements.
`This is particularly true in the graphics arena,
`where new applications aimed at typical business
`users—instead of graphics professionals—are the
`big trend. Among my favorites:
`Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 lets you start with
`your own photo or clip art and then format it for a
`document or a Web page. It offers basic photo-edit-
`ing tools—for things like fixing red-eye—and lets
`you easily create compressed images that are the
`right size for putting on aWeh site. It has a number of
`templates for logos and Web buttons, and was de-
`signed to fit in with the Microsoft Office suite.
`Adobe ImageStyler is a bit more sophisticated
`
`users create
`things only
`professionals
`GOUId before is
`
`one Of the PG’S
`hallmarks
`
`signers can use. Along with symbols
`and templates, it adds features such as
`bundled animationscolor corrections.
`and image slicing (so users can down-
`load parts of an image first). It is de-
`sagned as a complete envrronment for
`creating Web graphics. suitable for both
`business and professional users.
`And it's not just graphics that are
`moving this way. If you want unique
`music for your Web page, check out
`Acid, h-om Sonic FoundryAcid lets you start with its
`music clips or your own files and then mix them to-
`gether to create a unique sound. By combining vari-
`ous clips from multiple instruments, changing the
`tempo or the pitch, adjusting the volume, and adding
`a variety of effects, you can easily make your own
`music.

`
`Taken together these programs represent a range
`of new tools that let anyone create pages that look
`and sound both unique and professional. With these
`tools, a digital camera, and a simpleWeb-site creation
`tool, you can easily create a top-notch site.
`Letting average users create things only prof65-
`sionals could before is one of the PC‘s hallmarks. It’s
`good to see it continuing.

`models that weigh under 10
`pounds—grew nearly 400 per-

`ing to the market research firm
`Pacific Media Associates The
`ultraportable market should
`nearly double by next year,
`reaching almost $1 billion in
`sales, according to Pacific Media.
`Key to this growth is that
`these projectors weigh less than
`half as much as competing
`designs, while offering many of
`the same features and,in some
`cases, brighter images. Low
`price is also a factor. Released
`nearly two years ago, the Light-
