IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, New York – February 12, 2008 – Chromatic Bytes, LLC announces the immediate availability of ZeusDraw 1.3, an update to its Mac OS X vector drawing program. ZeusDraw is a vector drawing program with a fluid, graceful interface, great brushes and a host of other features.

ZeusDraw 1.3 adds these new features:

* CMYK Color – Users can choose between the CMYK color model or the RGB color model for new documents.

* Color Management – Users can set the profile (color space) for documents and control how imported images are matched to the document color space.

* Bitmap Export in CMYK and grayscale – ZeusDraw can now export CMYK bitmaps (TIFF and JPEG) and grayscale bitmaps (TIFF, PNG and JPEG).

* Full Layer System – ZeusDraw now has a complete layer system. Layers can be added, deleted, rearranged, made visible or invisible and locked or unlocked. ZeusDraw can also assign an opacity and a blend mode to each layer.

* Object Opacities – ZeusDraw can now assign an opacity (degree of transparency) to individual objects and to groups.

* Simplified Import – It is no longer necessary to specify in advance the type of file being imported and multiple files can be imported in a single step.

* Vector PDF from the Print command – Print… > PDF > Save As PDF… now results in a vector PDF rather than a PDF wrapper around a bitmap. (Export > PDF… can still be used when a transparent background is required.)

* Better Shadow Behavior – An object’s shadow now falls on all the objects behind it. If there are objects that overlap but should not shadow each other, they can be grouped and a shadow can be applied to the group.

* Reorganized Preferences Dialog

ZeusDraw 1.3 is $90 USD for new users and requires OS X 10.4 or later. A fully functional 30-day free trial is available from their website. This is a free update for currently registered users.
