It was a long wait, to be sure. We had a fairly long list of the features we wanted to include in DotMatrix Studio. We got almost all of them into the first release:

· Processing of high-resolution photographic images (works best with 4:3 images, so crop 3:2 in Photoshop or Aperture before processing).

· True resolution-independent output for certain classes of designs with quick PDF Snapshots that you can open in Preview.app and print.

· High-definition camera support (including new iSight 1280x960). You can use your BlackMagic Intensity or similar HDMI capture card to make 1920x1080p ART in real-time (requires fast Mac or low-frame rate).

· DotMatrix Studio also includes the ability to rebroadcast the camera input -- at 1280x960! It's a high-definition, INSTANT iSight art mo-sheen!

· instantly prototype your design with DotMatrix Studio and then FINISH it in Photoshop or Illustrator! It's the best of both worlds. Rapid design brainstorming plus the ability to tweak and color correct the final image.

Generally, our designs are resolution-independent provided the aspect ratio of the source image is 4:3. Need help with a large-format project? Be sure to contact our technical support.

We have a backlog of orders to fill on the Studio version, and until we update the pricing information on our web-page, the pre-order pricing is still valid.

Here is a MAO PDF Sample made from the 640x480 low-res clipart of the esteemed chairman. Download it and print it at any resolution you can scare up. Legal. Tabloid. Kinkos giant plotter. The image is rendered as PostScript(tm) curves, so it is truly resolution-independent.

You're gettin' closer to Chuck everyday and you don't even know it!
